Zombies fans, the wait is finally over. Treyarch has dropped the Super Easter Egg for Black Ops 7 Zombies as part of the Season 6: The Haunting update — and it’s shaping up to be the toughest, most rewarding challenge the mode has seen yet. Since no new Zombies maps are arriving before Modern Warfare 4, this Super Easter Egg is essentially the grand finale for BO7 Zombies veterans.

When Does It Start and What Do You Need?
The Super Easter Egg went live on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST, arriving alongside the Season 6 update. But before you jump in, there’s a catch — this isn’t a casual challenge you can stumble into.
To unlock the Super Easter Egg, you must complete every single Main Quest Easter Egg across all Black Ops 7 Zombies maps. That includes the notoriously tricky Rex Infernus, whose Directed Mode conveniently also arrives with Season 6 — so if you’ve been stuck on it, help is finally here.

Does Directed Mode Actually Count?
Yes — and this is huge news for players who found certain Easter Eggs too punishing in Standard Mode. Treyarch has confirmed that Directed Mode completions count toward unlocking the Super Easter Egg, making the road to the finale significantly more accessible for the wider community, not just hardcore speedrunners.
What’s the Reward?
So far, the only confirmed reward is The Warden, a new playable Operator exclusive to those who complete the challenge. Given Treyarch’s history with Call of Duty Zombies Easter Eggs, don’t be surprised if calling cards, camos, or bonus lore cutscenes are also waiting at the finish line.
