One of the most popular modes in Call of Duty is Zombies. Players love teaming up with their friends and attempting to survive against hoards of undead enemies. A recent leak suggests that developers at Treyarch are pushing the boundaries of zombie narratives, taking the highly acclaimed Zombies mode to thrilling, unprecedented locations.

Call of Duty Rumor Teases Zombies Mode Expansion

For the unacquainted, the Zombies mode in Call of Duty is far more than a simple game mode. It’s a full-fledged phenomenon. Birthed as a covert Easter egg at the end of Call of Duty: World at War, this initially quiet addition has morphed into a fan-favorite of the franchise, often a decisive factor for gamers purchasing a new Call of Duty title.

Through the years, Call of Duty has gifted us with a series of exciting titles, each offering fresh modes, maps, and campaign missions, including Zombie maps. The essence of the Zombie mode has been kept largely untouched over the years, although Treyarch introduced some significant changes to further enrich the gameplay experience in last year’s Black Ops 6.

According to reliable leaker Tom Henderson, the forthcoming Call of Duty will continue the thrilling tradition of Zombies mode by introducing several new round-based Zombies maps. Rumors suggest we will soon be battling hordes of the undead in the heart of Japan, the bustling streets of New York, and a space station ensnared in the Dark Aether. Another adaptation of Black Ops 2‘s infamous Tranzit, a map famously adored by the franchise’s cult following, is said to make a return. This range and diversity of settings confirm Treyarch’s ongoing commitment to delivering fresh experiences for the Call of Duty community.

Current Zombie Modes

While the anticipation for the next installment in the franchise grows, let’s not forget the ongoing action in the current Black Ops 6. The undying fascination for locations such as Liberty Falls and Terminus shows that the developers know how to captivate fans. As for the gameplay itself, Treyarch has made notable strides in making the main and side Easter egg quests more accessible to all. The Directed mode introduced in Black Ops 6 allows players to keep track of Easter egg steps and main objectives without breaking a sweat, allowing everyone an equal opportunity to get engrossed in the story.

While the specifics of the new features to debut in the new game remain under wraps, we can say with certainty that the Zombies storyline, loved by millions, is set to continue its expansion. It will be interesting to see how they continue to innovate the fan-favorite mode over the next few years.
