Citadelle des Morts is a new Zombies map arriving in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on December 5, and Treyarch has released a short video to give players a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the French-inspired location. The video discusses the design choices and gives a better glimpse at the new Doppelghast enemy type.
Citadelle des Morts is a castle in France overrun with the undead. Treyarch says Zombies mode has plenty of maps “grounded in science fiction,” and for this map, it wanted to lean more into magic. Citadelle des Morts also features elemental sword Wonder Weapons. This sounds similar to Black Ops 3’s Der Eisendrache map, which was a snowy castle map with elemental bows. However, Treyarch says it has never featured a castle like Citadelle des Morts, as this new design lets players travel further into the claustrophobic bowels of the castle.
Treyarch also pulls back the curtain on the making of the Doppelghast, which is the map’s unique special enemy. This creature has two heads and tentacle-like appendages instead of arms, and the developer says it wanted to design the enemy to be as unsettling as possible. The Doppelghast is also described as being “super fast and in your face,” and the creature’s hasty movement can be seen in the video above.
