Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Fans Divided Over Shadows of Evil Easter Egg
Fans have expressed mixed feelings towards the Easter egg. While some were quite nostalgic about the iconic map, others noted that the use of assets from past games has become quite monotonous at this point, and doesn’t have the same appeal as before. Players noted that theZombies mode from theCall of Duty: Black Ops 3erawas much more engaging and the developers should focus on recreating something similar in modern titles.
That being said, the Easter egg has sparked a fresh set of speculation in the community with players hoping that it has deeper significance. Many in the community think that the developers are possibly hinting towards the release of asequel to the popularCall of DutyZombies Chronicles expansionin the coming days.
