After the long wait, “Call of Duty Black Ops 4” is finally set to launch on Oct. 12, and in a series of trailers in the past few days, Treyarch Studios has revealed the final list of maps in the upcoming multiplayer first-person shooter game.
Fourteen maps will be available at launch, and a new version of Nuketown will be added to the map roster for free on November.
Aside from Nuketown, the other fan-favorite maps that have been confirmed to return to “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4” are Jungle, Slums, Summit, and Firing Range.
The jungle was one of the most popular maps in the first “Call of Duty Black Ops,” and it takes players back to the dense Vietnam jungle. Slums is a map from “Call of Duty Black Ops 2,” and it is set in the slums of Panama during the ‘80s. Summit is a snow-covered map from the original “Call of Duty Black Ops,” and it is set in the Ural Mountains in U.S.S.R. during the height of the Cold War. Firing Range is a map from the first game as well, and it is set in a military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Meanwhile, the 10 new maps in “Call of Duty Black Ops 4” include Frequency, Contraband, Seaside, Payload, Hacienda, Gridlock, Arsenal, Icebreaker, Morocco, and Militia.
Frequency is set in the Hunan Province of China, while Contraband takes players to a shipping hub off the coast of Colombia. Set in coastal Spain, Seaside will feature an anti-government protest that went out of control.
The payload is set on a missile defense station in Iceland that has been infiltrated by hostile forces. Hacienda is also set in Spain, but in a quiet lake in the countryside where a crime syndicate boss lives. Gridlock should be quite interesting as it is set in a Japanese metropolis where a bank heist went wrong.
Arsenal features a covert ops on a manufacturing facility, and Icebreaker takes place in a long-lost nuclear submarine in the Arctic. As the name implies, Morocco is set in the small North African country where rebels are harassing government military supply planes. The final map in “Call of Duty Black Ops 4” is Militia and it is set in a remote region of Alaskan wilderness near the Bearing Strait.
