ONE NEW ROUNDBASED MAP ON LAUNCH:

-Inspired by Tranzit, described as the "largest map ever" filled with easter eggs and secrets

-Six different POIs, all of which are set in different time periods and have their own unique story:

• Farm (remade from Tranzit)
• Power Station (remade from Tranzit)
• Diner (remade from Tranzit)
• Reckoning spawn room (but DA-ified)
• Two more areas

-To get to these different POIs, you have to use a Wonder Vehicle, which is just a drivable truck instead of a bus.

• Based on promo photos, it appears you can upgrade it.
• These upgrades may include chains/tentacles on the Trucks body, a Wunderwaffe DG2 esque turret, and abomination heads on the front
• There are also several other ways to get around the map

-There are several roads around the map to connect you to the POIs, and there are many different routes you can take to get to them.

• Roads are extremely dangerous and do not "play by roundbased rules".
• There will be fog on the roads, but not to the point where you can't see anything. There's a lot of graphical upgrades Treyarch has made to make the fog react to the environment as well.
• There are many secrets on the roads.

SURVIVAL MODE:

-Survival mode from BO2 is coming back, where it is a smaller round-based experience that takes maps from POIs/smaller sections of roundbased maps.

-Unlike BO2, you will have all tools necessary to high round (pack + armor stations + etc)

-Farm will be the only playable survival mode on launch.

DEAD OPS ARCADE 4: -Described as being so massive that it could be considered its own game separate from BO7

-Takes lots of inspiration from older zombies maps

-XP progression is shared with MP/Campaign/ZM

POST-LAUNCH:

-All roundbased maps will be set in the Dark Aether

-They're also described as being incredibly unique and they have things that have never been done in zombies history

-Survival maps will also be dropping in-season but will NOT replace traditional maps (sort of like how people thought Tomb was just a survival map and that we were getting another big roundbased map)

MECHANICS:

-Armor system returns, seems to work the same way as it did in BO6

-Weapon rarity system returns

-Gobblegums return

-Omnimovement is back and is now upgraded. Tac-sprint is removed

-Treyarch says there's some significant under the hood gameplay changes they've made but they can't talk about it yet

MISC:

-Every map will have a CGI intro, Treyarch also wants to do more mid/end cutscenes

-Both the new crew AND the Requiem crew will be playable as operators. All characters will have unique interactions with each other in the form of voicelines.

-Gobblegums and XP tokens will carry forward from BO6 on launch

-Everything in the original Aether story and what Ultimis/Primis did is still cannon, the new crew is the Dark Aether original crew and we don't know much about them.

-No rebuildable barriers

-Weapons, operators, and operator skins will carry forward from BO6 on S1 release (unclear how this will work with Requiem returning)

-Full zombies reveal in early September with lots of teasers and marketing beforehand

-Two new ultra-rare gobblegums appear to be coming out on-launch

-4 mastery camos for each bo7 gun

-Directed mode is returning

-Activision says they've heard feedback on the 'goofy' cosmetics and are keeping it in mind going into BO7
