Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's newest Zombies map is here, and while it isn't necessarily bad, it's hard to get excited when Activision is reheating the Nuketown leftovers yet again.
Paradox Junction dropped on March 11, and the launcher peaked at just 35,000 players, continuing its decline from 66,000 in February. SteamDB isn't a perfect metric by any means, as it only looks at the peak concurrents on PC, not overall playercount across every platform, but it's often a good gauge for broader interest.
Nuketown was re-imagined and expanded upon in Black Ops 4 with the Alpha Omega map, but Paradox Junction goes back to basics.
Considering 'Call of Duty' also includes Black Ops 6 and Warzone, a peak of just 35,000 on the day of a new map isn't a great sign. Of course, Black Ops 7 is also available on Game Pass, which may skew the Steam figures, but considering that the Call of Duty launcher hit a peak of 100,000 players when BO7 was released last year, it's safe to say this third go at Nuketown Zombies isn't proving nearly enough to pull people back in.
Online sentiment isn't much better, either. Outright...
