BO2 added four DLC packs, each including four new multiplayer maps and one new Zombies map. Two of those new additions, Buried and Origins, went on to become legendary maps that are still looked back on fondly by the Zombies community.

However, there was allegedly a plan to release a fifth DLC pack, as fans discovered a pre-alpha build that included an early version of Origins and an un-released Wonder Weapon.

The build also featured a remastered version of Kino Der Toten from Black Ops 1, and CharlieIntel shared five minutes of gameplay from an early build of the map.

Zombies fans love Kino Der Toten, so it would have been great to have the map in Black Ops 2. However, Black Ops 3 remastered the map and seven other iconic locales from previous titles as part of the Zombies Chronicles collection.

So, some weren’t too disappointed by the news. “So essentially, this just became Zombies Chronicles, one player responded. “It’s probably smarter they pushed it.”

“good thing it didn’t, the BO3 version is godlike,” a second user added.

In saying that, a third commenter said, “we got robbed” and would have liked to have seen the remaster with the BO2 weapons.

As for the future of Zombies moving forward, a CoD 2025 leak revealed that a “Tranzit-inspired” map from BO2 is in the works, along with the original cast returning.
