Grief from BO2 Zombies might return with the Black Ops 6 Season 4 update

In Grief, players are split into teams of two or four. Then, they are dropped into the same match, and the team that outlives the other wins the match. This means that there can be only one winner, just like the teaser hinted at. But that's not all. Back in December 2024, leakers and dataminers found hints of the mode in the game's files.

The datamines and the teaser seem to line up and make a strong argument for the return of the iconic Black Ops 2 Zombies mode. That said, however, do note that it is just a teaser with no specific details mentioned.

Call of Duty hasn't confirmed or denied the return of the iconic mode in Black Ops 6 Season 4. The details in the article are based on mere speculations, and hence, readers are advised to take them with a grain of salt.

That covers everything that you need to know about the possible return of the classic BO2 Zombies mode in Black Ops 6 Season 4.
