For those looking to learn everything they can about Black Ops 6 Zombies’ next map, here’s a look at all the Shattered Veil teaser images released so far!
The leadup to a new Call of Duty: Zombies map release is always an exciting time, as fans begin to speculate wildly about what to expect.
However, things are a bit different this time around. Not only do we already know that we’re heading to Eddie Richtofen’s mansion in Liberty Falls, but the marketing has kicked off a little early.
This is likely due to the fact that the next Black Ops 6 Zombies map has been delayed alongside the Season 3 update – and will now launch on April 3. So while we wait, let’s take a look at everything Treyarch has shown us so far:
All Shattered Veil Teaser Images
Treyarch has finally confirmed that the new Season 3 Black Ops 6 Zombies map is called Shattered Veil, and it’s set in the mansion in Liberty Falls.
We got our first look at the West Virginian town’s mansion back in the Liberty Falls intro cinematic, where it was revealed to be home to Edward Richtofen and the headquarters of Project Janus.
Now, we’ve had some further details revealed regarding the Shattered Veil mansion and its surroundings, through a series of screenshots dated ten days after the zombie outbreak:
1 – Motor Court
“Personal log. Edward Richtofen recording…”
The first official screenshot released for the Shattered Veil map reveals a look at the exterior of the mansion.
From this shot, we can likely discern that the mansion’s exterior will also be explorable, allowing players to battle undead in the nearby grounds.
This screenshot is dated ten days after the outbreak that seems to have devastated Project Janus and its staff, leaving only flaming wreckage and destruction in its wake.
2 – Banquet Hall
“However ludicrous this idea may have seemed to my younger self, at this point, I feel further research is warranted…”
In this shot of the Banquet Hall, we can see further evidence of the destruction caused by the undead. But what’s even more notable is the suspicious portrait mounted on the mansion’s wall.
The frame appears to be surrounded by some manner of machinery, possibly hinting that there’s more to this painting than meets the eye. Could it be a secret passageway or a usable trap?
But as for who the portrait depicts, some eagle-eyed fans believe that it could be a member of The Order.
The Order were the primary antagonists of Black Ops 4 Zombies – a violent cult led by the High Priest of Chaos, dedicated to utilizing Prima Materia and the Sentinel Artifacts to force humanity to “evolve”.
Seeing as we know Richtofen was hunting for the Sentinel Artifact, it makes perfect sense for Black Ops 6 to be bringing back the villainous organization!
3 – Grand Foyer
“I will lead this endeavor personally, enlisting only trusted associates to ensure the program does not… spiral out of control.”
In this shot of the Grand Foyer, we can see the complete T-Rex fossil that was originally revealed when Richtofen battled down the stairs in the Liberty Falls cinematic.
Interestingly, the dinosaur’s position has shifted slightly since appearing in the cinematic, which has some fans suspicious that we could be facing a T-Rex boss fight in Shattered Veil.
Personally, though, we think that the statue was simply tweaked during development and that shots from an intro trailer won’t always line up with the finished product.
4 – Mainframe Chamber
“… after all, you never know who — or what — may be listening.”
Next up, Treyarch showcased a shot of S.A.M. in the Mainframe Chamber, which is sure to be a central part of the upcoming map.
The Mainframe Chamber is accessed by taking an elevator down to the basement, which seemed to require Richtofen’s clearance.
Here, an orb containing a Synaptic Algorithm Module (AKA S.A.M.) awaits. S.A.M. has been guiding the Zombies Crew towards recovering the Sentinel Artifact, with the promise that we can use it to rescue Samantha Maxis from the Dark Aether.
But given how sinister the AI appears to be during its interaction with Richtofen, we think it’s more likely that S.A.M will be the final boss of Shattered Veil!
5 – Richtofen’s Family
“I think there may be something more significant about this house. Something beyond even my understanding. Perhaps, beyond even my fears.”
In the Liberty Falls intro cinematic, we see Edward Richtofen wake up from a nightmare about his wife and child burning.
Longtime Zombies fans may know that Grigori Weaver was responsible for the death of Richtofen’s family, who perished in a housefire caused by Weaver covering his tracks following an assassination mission.
It appears that not only does Richtofen still dream about his family’s demise, but that something about this house is drawing the memories to him. Perhaps even calling on him to find the Sentinel Artifact in order to have a chance of bringing them back?
That’s all of the teaser images that Treyarch has revealed so far.
We’ll keep this article updated with all the new screenshots as they continue to be released in the lead-up to Shattered Veil’s release on April 3, 2025!
