It keeps most of the basic ideas that Treyarch has added to the mode over the last 12 years, but simplifies them down to their most fun elements. Course correctionīlack Ops Cold War doesn’t reinvent the Zombie-mode wheel. I spent more time watching YouTube videos trying to figure out the maps than I did running around the game itself.īut in Black Ops Cold War, Treyarch has brought the focus all the way back to zombies and how you kill them. 2018’s Black Ops 4 was so complicated that the features distracted from the fun. But in the 12 years since it was first released, Treyarch has added way too much to the mode. The wave-based survival mode is equal parts silly, challenging, and endlessly repeatable. Either way, with Season 1 rapidly approaching, we can expect official word from developer Treyarch soon.The secret heart of Treyarch’s Call of Duty games since 2008 has always been Zombies.

This isn’t thought to be the Firebase Z map, though, which is believed to be arriving with Season 2. When Season 1 begins on December 10, more Zombies mode content will be arriving with it. The cover story is that a US chemical weapon has been detonated in the area, but undescribed experiments will be carried out at the location instead. As a result, they’ll set up a KGB-Spetsnaz Omega Group facility in the vicinity of the District Capital of Khe Sanh. The Russians will be the first to find this gateway. More evidence for the Vietnam setting has come via a leaked document allegedly found by Twitter user This describes a new dimensional gateway in the Quảng Trị province of Vietnam. As of the time of writing, it is still up and able to be viewed.) (Note that Activision may issue takedowns for the video, so it may be unavailable. You can see his exploits in the video below. As the current Zombies map, Die Maschine, takes references from the original Nacht Der Untoten map, it doesn’t seem like a huge leap of logic to assume this will be the basis for a new Zombies map too. He found plenty of references to renowned Zombies map Shi No Numa as he looked around.
