Last year it was revealed that CoD 2024 Black Ops 5 will bring back round-based zombies mode. This naturally implies players will also get round-based zombies maps at launch. As of now, there are two round-based maps rumored to appear in CoD 2024 Zombies when it releases. The maps are codenamed Garnet and Quartz.

Below are some crucial details compiled from the leaked intel on the two round-based zombies maps for CoD 2024:

Garnet

• A city map with its setting based on West Virginia; likely to be Liberty Falls.
• There's a church, bank, and police tape.
• High wire ascending similar to Mauer der Toten.

Quartz

• An island map with an elevator that leads to an underground prison and lab; likely to be Terminus Island.
• Features an activable and aimable Deck Cannon trap on a large ship.

Speaking of other gameplay features, Black Ops 5 Zombies is also rumored to bring back the GobbleGum system. This feature was originally introduced in 2015's Black Ops 3.

GobbleGums are special unlockable and consumable items that grant players specific abilities, extra bonuses, or effects.

Some unconfirmed rumors have suggested that CoD 2024 might include an open-world zombie experience with a round-based format similar to Black Ops Cold War. Treyarch's last title featured a traditional mode and an Outbreak mode that required players to extract successfully after completing certain objectives.
