Real-World Inspiration Behind Citadelle Des Morts: Cité de Carcassonne
Citadelle Des Morts takes place in Avalon, a fictional principality between France and Italy. Treyarch has drawn inspiration from Cité de Carcassonne, a medieval citadel in France, with striking architectural similarities. This is reminiscent of how Treyarch previously modeled Der Eisendrache after Austria’s Hohenwerfen Castle, creating immersive and historically-inspired Zombies experiences.
Initially thought to be a traditional castle map, Citadelle Des Morts promises an entire mini-city experience. Players can explore a medieval village, an abandoned castle, and a keep. The keep, teased in the Terminus Easter egg, is expected to contain many of the map’s deepest secrets.
Some fans were concerned that Citadelle Des Morts would reuse assets from the Avalon Warzone map. However, a flyover from one of the multiplayer maps confirms that this Zombies map was created with 100% original assets. Unlike the low-resolution Warzone map, Citadelle Des Morts focuses solely on the dark, medieval atmosphere essential to Zombies.
New Enemy Type in Citadelle Des Morts: The Ghoulish Horror
One of the most anticipated features of Citadelle Des Morts is a new enemy type that haunts the keep’s dark halls. This ghoul-like creature was first hinted at in Black Ops 6’s October collaboration with Italian clothing brand Dolly Noir. Unlike the Amalgam enemy, this ghoul has a distinct design, with a single pair of legs, tentacle-like arms, and a split head, marking it as a new, unique threat.
New Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades in Citadelle Des Morts and Season 1 Reloaded
Recent leaks from Twitter user AllanThe390 have revealed new gameplay elements in Citadelle Des Morts. These include:
- Light Ray Ammo Mod: An energy-based ammo mod using light as a weapon, adding to the current options.
- New Perks: Three perks have been discovered in the files—Vulture Aid, Death Perception, and Tombstone—each with augment customization options. While it’s unconfirmed which perk will debut in Season 1, many fans are hopeful for the return of Vulture Aid.
- New Field Upgrade: An “electric” field upgrade, possibly a return of Tesla Storm from Cold War Zombies. The Toxic Growth field upgrade is also a candidate for future releases.
While it’s unclear if these elements are entirely new to the Dark Aether storyline, they are confirmed additions to Black Ops 6.
Final Thoughts: What Lies Ahead for COD Black Ops 6 Zombies Citadelle Des Morts
The excitement around Citadelle Des Morts grows as Treyarch promises new augments, GobbleGums, Wonder Weapons, and a fresh enemy type. With Season 1 Reloaded on the horizon, fans of Black Ops 6 Zombies can look forward to an unforgettable experience.
