Black Ops 6 & COD 2025: OG Aether Crew Return and Outbreak Rumors
While Black Ops 6 Season 2 is in full swing, the Call of Duty community is already buzzing about COD 2025. Rumors suggest the return of the beloved OG Aether Crew, a massive Tranzit-inspired map, and the potential revival of Outbreak. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest leaks and what they could mean for the future of Zombies.
The OG Aether Crew Returns
According to a report from Insider Gaming, the iconic OG Aether Crew—Nikolai, Dempsey, Richtofen, and Takeo—are set to return in COD 2025. These versions of the characters are said to look older than their Primis counterparts but aren’t their Ultimis selves either. Will they retain memories of the old Aether timeline? Fans will have to wait and see.
Tranzit-Inspired Map & 8-Player Gameplay
The rumors also mention the biggest-ever Round Based map, inspired by Tranzit. This massive map will feature a unique transportation system and could support 8-player gameplay, a significant upgrade from the traditional 4-player squads. With such a large map, Easter Egg runs could become even more thrilling and chaotic.
Outbreak Rumors
Outbreak, the experimental open-world Zombies mode from Black Ops: Cold War, is rumored to return in COD 2025. This time, it could be set on the Avalon map, originally planned for Warzone but now potentially repurposed for Zombies. Imagine the OG Aether Crew navigating this vast, undead-infested landscape to stop a new Dark Aether threat.
Carry Forward into COD 2025
Another exciting rumor is the potential for Carry Forward from Black Ops 6 to COD 2025. This would allow players to bring over content like:
- All Augments
- All Perks
- All Ammo Mods
- All Field Upgrades
- All Classic Wonder Weapons & Skins
- All Zombie Types
Additionally, all Black Ops 6 Zombies maps (rumored to total 7 by the end of its lifecycle) could carry forward into COD 2025, alongside new maps introduced in the next game.
What’s Next for Zombies?
With the potential return of the OG Aether Crew, a massive Tranzit-inspired map, and the revival of Outbreak, COD 2025 could be a landmark year for Zombies fans. While these are still rumors, the possibilities are exciting. Stay tuned for more updates, and for the latest news and related content, check out our website below!
