Black Ops 6 season 4 is about Grief. No, not the all too real human emotion (this is still Call of Duty after all); the new game mode!
In addition to Grief — a competitive survival mode for Zombies that hasn’t been playable since Black Ops 2 — season 4 of Black Ops 6 will also introduce its usual seasonal slew of new maps, modes, and weapons. The season will also feature a collaboration with Ballerina, the forthcoming John Wick tie-in film, both through a limited time-event and shop bundle.
Here’s when Black Ops 6 season 4 releases in your time zone, plus a few more details about what you can expect from the season.

What to expect from Black Ops 6 season 4
Beyond the reintroduction of Zombies’ Grief mode, other big ticket changes coming in Black Ops 6 season 4 include the following:
* At launch, expect two new weapons: the LC10 SMG and the FFAR 1 assault rifle.
* New maps at launch include Shutdown and Fugitive (both Core maps), plus Blitz (a Strike map). Partway through the season, Eclipse will be added as a Strike map while a remaster of Black Ops 3’s Fringe will be added as a Core map.
* Two new modes are coming in Black Ops 6 season 4. Team Elimination, available at launch, is a deathmatch-type mode in which two teams whittle away a pool of lives for the opposing team. Partway through the season, One in the Chamber — a free-for-all mode where each player starts with one bullet and can only get more ammo by scoring kills — comes back.
* The Ballerina event will run from June 5 to June 12 and feature a 10-reward track, including the Essex Model 07 marksman rifle.
