Treyarch's community manager JD_2020 has revealed that a new Call of Duty: World at War patch will be released next week.

The new patch (1.6) will add maps as well as other features and fixes when released in a week's time.

Among the maps, a new "Nazi Zombie map" is included, called Der Riese. The map is set "in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, Teleporters, and many more undead hordes!"

It seems to be a more comprehensive than the last patch. The full patch notes follow:

• New Multiplayer maps: Battery (mp_drum), Breach (mp_bgate), Revolution (mp_vodka)!
• New Nazi Zombie map: Der Riese (nazi_zombie_factory), an all-new Zombie map set in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, Teleporters, and many more undead hordes!
• Exploits pertaining to Demo playback.
• Favorites list now ignores filter settings.
• Fixed S&D round counting error when roundlimit is reached.
• New feature: in-game Add to Favorites.
• Friends list: green online indicator.
• Starting the game in Safe Mode will no longer toggle the "Soften Smoke Edges" graphic option.
• Fixed various crashes.
• Mods: Client will no longer join a modded Co-op server via Game Invite unless they have that mod loaded.
• Mods: Client running a mod will be asked to unload the mod if they attempt to join an unmodded server.
• Mods: All singleplayer levels can now be run with a mod loaded.

JD_2020 also mentioned the team "expect[s] a concurrent release of the Mod Tools 1.4 package, Linux dedicated 1.6 bins, and the Steam 1.6 day-of-date with this patch."

Call of Duty: World at War was released at the end of last year and focused on the Pacific conflict in WWII. The Nazi Zombie mode was a surprise hit, but to get a feel of the main campaign, we suggest you read our review.
