Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Adding Fan-Favorite Mode in Upcoming Playlist Update

Key Takeaways

  • Treyarch confirms Infected game mode will be added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on October 29.
  • The highly-anticipated game mode comes just three days before Nuketown is added to Black Ops 6’s map pool.
  • More iconic maps and modes are expected to be added with Black Ops 6’s first season later this year.

As a dedicated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fan who’s been through countless hours of gaming since the original Modern Warfare, I can hardly contain my excitement over the impending return of Infected mode! It’s like revisiting an old friend that I’ve missed dearly. Three days? That’s just enough time to brush up on my knife-wielding skills before diving headfirst into the chaos.


Treyarch Studios, the creators of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, have announced that they’re bringing back a beloved game mode called Infected as part of an upcoming update on October 29th. This mode has appeared in different Call of Duty games throughout the years, including Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops Cold War. Now, players of Black Ops 6 will finally get to join in the fun once the new playlist goes live at 9 AM Pacific Time on that day.

Before its launch, Activision’s senior director of studio communications hinted that a well-liked gameplay mode would debut in Black Ops 6 with Season 1. There’s a lot of buzz about this potential mode being “prop-hunt,” where one team conceals themselves as objects scattered across the map, while the other team tries to find and eliminate them. While there are many other theories about what mode Season 1 might offer, it won’t be Infected, since Treyarch has confirmed that this popular mode is scheduled for release earlier than anticipated.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Adding Infected Game Mode on October 29

Treyarch recently announced on Twitter that the release of Black Ops 6 isn’t the end, as they will be introducing Infected, a highly requested game mode, into the game starting October 29. This mode has been a fan favorite since its early days in private lobbies during Modern Warfare 3. The game begins with all players as survivors, but one is randomly selected to become the infected player. Their mission is to kill the survivors and transform them into infected. The rules slightly change for each Call of Duty game, but typically, the infected are armed only with a knife while the survivors have a random class.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled that Infected is landing in our hands mere days before we dive back into Nuketown once more! Treyarch has indeed confirmed that Nuketown will make a return to the game rotation on Friday, November 1. Although we haven’t had a detailed glimpse of how Nuketown will appear in Black Ops 6, Treyarch has assured us it will be a meticulously remastered version of the original map from 2010’s Black Ops, boasting updated graphics and optimized visuals for this generation’s consoles. It’s worth noting that Nuketown has graced numerous Black Ops titles throughout the years, each with its unique twist, but in Black Ops 6, we’ll have the chance to revisit this legendary map as it was at its launch.

Anticipation among players is high as they eagerly await what Season 1 has in store for Black Ops 6, following the reappearance of fan-favorite maps like Nuketown and Infected. Prior to its release, Treyarch confirmed that iconic Black Oops maps would be included in post-launch updates. Though an official launch date for Season 1 hasn’t been announced yet, a promotional email hints at the update arriving on November 14.
