The story of Black Ops 6’s Zombies will continue the “intriguing and terrifying” Dark Aether narrative introduced in Black Ops Cold War.
At the conclusion of the Dark Aether storyline in BOCW, players discovered that the Director of Requiem was actually Edward Richtofen, who betrayed the entire unit by sending them to unknown locations. Set in 1991, Black Ops 6 picks up the story five years later. Dr. Peck, having survived the catastrophic events at Test Site Anna, charters a boat in Japan to rescue some “old friends” from a research prison facility.
A new character, Maya Aguinaldo, is introduced in Black Ops 6 as part of the crew. She will assist Dr. Peck in freeing the returning Requiem Operators: Grigori Weaver, Elizabeth Grey, and Mac Carver. However, Maya has her own reasons for helping them.
