Call of Duty’s iconic ‘Zombies’ mode is finally making a return to the franchise with Black Ops – Cold War, and now, it seems to be bigger and better than ever before!
Since its introduction in Call of Duty: World at War, Zombies mode has been a staple in the Call of Duty franchise and is one of the most played and beloved modes in the game.
Offering adrenaline-pumping gameplay in which you fend off hordes of undead and try to survive as long as possible, there’s something truly special about the mode.
But alas, the mode has been subsided since then, making an appearance once in a while, only to disappear once more.
However, now, with Call of Duty returning to the story of Alex Mason once more, fans have been curious to know whether Activision will make a return to Zombies mode or not.
Thankfully, their prayers were answered, with Activision announcing last month that Zombies will finally be making a return to Call of Duty!
Now, further details have been revealed about the mode that hints how Black Ops – Cold War will mark a new chapter for Zombies!
What will Zombies mode be like?
The mode will be set in the early 1980s and interconnected with the storyline of the previous games’ mode.
As for the plot itself, titled Die Maschine (The Machine), players will serve as part of a CIA-backed international response team called Requiem, in order to investigate strange anomalies happening around the globe, while facing off against a Soviet Rival squad known as Omega Group.
NPCs will also appear throughout the story, giving players intel to dig deeper into the world and the plot as it unfolds.
Also, the mode won’t be a “survive for as long as possible” type anymore. Instead, the players can summon an extraction should things become too difficult to handle.
Of course, this won’t be easy in any way, as upon calling for extraction, the spawn of zombies will be dialed up to 11, and the players need to survive for as long as the extraction arrives. Upon a successful escape, the players are also awarded rewards for the same.
This is quite a welcome change, to be honest. But, to be even more honest, it is quite pleasing to see Zombies making a return to Call of Duty once more, with it looking to be the best one till now! I, for one, cannot wait to see how the experience will be like.
