Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are discussing the possibility that the upcoming Shattered Veil map could be teasing a boss fight with a dinosaur.
In case you’re not up to speed on the latest Black Ops 6 Zombies news, it is now confirmed that we’ll be getting our next map in Season 3.
Although the major update was initially scheduled for March 20, it has since been delayed and will now arrive on April 3, 2025.
Those who finished The Tomb’s Main Quest will already know that our next destination is Edward Richtofen’s mansion in Liberty Falls. But after Treyarch released a new teaser image of Shattered Veil, some fans believe they’ve already worked out what prehistoric boss we’ll be going up against.
Liberty Falls Mansion Map’s Dinosaur
Even before Treyarch revealed the name of its upcoming Zombies map, the developer had already released several images of the mansion on its social media.
We first saw the Shattered Veil mansion in the Liberty Falls intro cinematic, where it was revealed to be both home to Richtofen and the headquarters of Project Janus.
As Eddie battled the undead on his way to the secret basement containing the Forsaken, he passes a full recreation of a T-Rex near the main staircase.
Now, a new image of the Grand Foyer reveals our first full look at the dinosaur in all its glory. Thankfully, despite the screenshots being dated ten days after the events of the zombie outbreak, the T-Rex looks fully intact.
However, the dinosaur does seem to have moved slightly, and its jaws are no longer as close to the stairs as they were in the trailer…
Given that the statue in Citadelle des Morts turned out to be the map’s boss, it seems only natural that fans are suspicious that we could be doing battle against a dinosaur boss in our next map.
But is there any truth to this?
Here’s Why It’s Unlikely
Although an undead T-Rex coming to life Night at the Museum-style would be a sight to behold, we think it’s unlikely. The change in position is likely just due to Treyarch making minor tweaks to the map after releasing the cinematic trailer.
What’s more, we’re pretty sure we know who the Shattered Veil boss will be already…
Given that the location was home to series antagonist Eddie Richtofen, it seems only natural that he will be involved heavily with the upcoming round-based map.
But given that Richtofen was abducted at the end of the Liberty Falls cinematic, he’s not likely the boss himself.
Instead, we think that S.A.M. could actually be our main enemy this time around, given that the AI appears to originate from the Forsaken’s prison.
The recreation of Samantha Maxis certainly seemed menacing enough in the Liberty Falls intro, and now we’re about to deliver the Sentinel Artifact right into its hands!
Could the mansion’s dinosaur have its own Easter Egg to discover? Perhaps it hides a secret passage, or acts as a trap against the undead?
We’ll have to wait and see when Shattered Veil arrives in Black Ops 6 on April 3.
