Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies Mode Revealed

A direct sequel to original Call of Duty: Black Ops, upcoming first-person shooter game Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War from developer Treyarch, Raven Software and publisher Activision is awaiting release on November 13, 2020.

Black Ops Cold War already features a gripping campaign story and engaging multiplayer mode to begin with. For next Call of Duty installment, Activision is bringing back iconic Zombies Mode for veteran players and newcomers alike.

In 1983, CIA backed program Requiem leader Grigori Weaver gets a call from his trusty contact "Sam", who calls him to make sure if he received a package and tells him to watch the tape she sent but a reluctant Weaver is uninterested.

He watches an old war footage she acquired from a KGB insider where a group has managed to find Projekt Endstation in a secret bunker from WWII and they were ambushed by hordes of undead soldiers, tearing them all into pieces.

Requiem response team from original Black Ops sends its members to investigate in Poland, where they come across Cold War-era zombie army and Omega Group, a Soviet-led faction that is also interested in its supernatural power.

Exploring these sites of incidents throughout the globe, Requiem and Omega Group will cross paths to either aid or thwart your objective. Players will eventually discover many puzzle pieces that will help them connect to Zombies lore.

Events that took place at Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ending have lead Zombies narrative to a new level for Black Ops Cold War. Fans are no longer forced to play with four characters and instead, they can play as campaign mode operators.

Familiar faces from single-player story like Sgt. Frank Woods, Lawrence Sims and Russell Adler will join to fight against zombies of Cold War. Activision and Treyarch are most probably holding a few more surprises to reveal after launch.

An official Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War trailer gives you more gameplay details on Zombies mode.

Zombies mode has been an essential part of Black Ops series for years and latest trailer invites you to a new story chapter Dark Aether. Its first episode "Die Maschine" goes back to 1980s to uncover a dark secret of World War II-era.

Regardless of whatever platform from which generation are you playing on, Zombies mode will bring you together via multiplayer. You can make a squad across cross-platform or even cross-generation to enjoy co-op play to its fullest.

Pack-a-Punch machines will be where you find huge upgrades and Mystery Box may offer you a ray gun or acquire weapons from wall buys. All classic aspects of round-based survival mode are there to deliver a complete Zombies experience.

Taking out waves of undead needs extra firepower and players will get their hands on powerful new weapons' arsenal. For additional help, you can set up automated Sentry gatling gun turret when surrounded or ask for chopper gunner.

Not only players are allowed to carry over your guns to next battle, they can use Exfil system to evacuate a map if overwhelmed. Going back to roots, "Die Maschine" reintroduces Call of Duty: World at War classic map Nacht der Untoten.

Black Ops Cold War will have a shared progression system across multiplayer or Zombies mode, which is tied to Battle Pass. Treyarch plans to roll out free maps to everyone during post-launch period for very first time in CoD series history.
