Activision reports a significant boost in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies main quest completion rates thanks to the introduction of Directed Mode. The new mode, part of Season 1, has nearly doubled the number of players finishing the storyline, increasing completion rates from a mere 4% to 8.23%.
This achievement is based on a staggering 480 million hours of Black Ops 6 Zombies gameplay data, a small portion of which was logged after Directed Mode's November 14th launch. While celebrated by Treyarch as a success in achieving its goal of increasing story engagement, the studio acknowledges that over 90% of players still haven't completed the main quest and are exploring further improvements.
The intricate Black Ops 6 Zombies narrative, spanning multiple games and involving concepts like interdimensional travel and temporal anomalies, can be challenging for newcomers. Directed Mode acts as a helpful guide, streamlining progression and making the story more accessible. This contrasts with previous Zombies installments, where players were largely left to navigate the storyline independently.
The impact of Directed Mode extends beyond just completion rates; it enhances the overall player experience by providing a structured path through the complex storyline. Treyarch plans to continue refining both the Zombies mode and Directed Mode in future updates, aiming for even greater engagement with the main quest. The success of this initiative suggests a potential shift towards more narrative-focused experiences within the Call of Duty: Black Ops franchise.
