Description:
Call of Duty: Vanguard will have Zombies, and the mode's creator has returned to develop it.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Yes, Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies mode is happening, and its original creator, Treyarch, is handling its development. The popular co-operative
horde mode has been a staple in Treyarch-developed CoD games since 2008's World at War, and it will be making a return this year.
Activision discussed the return of Zombies in a press release, confirming
that the ongoing Zombies narrative will be built upon in Call of Duty: Vanguard, while introducing new gameplay innovations to make the mode better than it's ever been.
Zombies will be available in Call of Duty: Vanguard at launch on November 5, 2021 for PS4, PS5 , Xbox Series X /S, Xbox One and PC via Battle.net, alongside the game's Campaign and Multiplayer offerings. If Call of Duty: Vanguard is anything like World at War, I'm excited Where to buy Xbox Series

Activision elaborated on Zombies' narrative continuation: "From the
birthplace of Zombies, Treyarch helps deliver a franchise first Call of Duty Zombies crossoverasVanguardconnects with the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies storylinedelivering a new connectionfor Call ofDuty players."
It sounds like fans of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Zombies offering will be able to pick up where they left off in the previous title, and Activision promises that "players will be able to survive the relentless onslaught of the undead in a chilling all-new Zombies experience". Analysis: Treyarch is the perfect dev for the job
There's no doubt that Treyarch has developed some of the best Zombies modes for Call of Duty over the years, so we're confident that the ongoing co-op shenanigans are in safe hands with the developer in charge.
It's interesting that the Zombies narrative will be a continuation of the
plot set up in Black Ops Cold War, as Call of Duty: Vanguard takes place well before that. That said, Zombies modes aren't always tied to the era the main game is set in, but we do wonder if the likes of Frank Woods and Lawrence
Sims will return as playable characters.
Zombies has also featured no shortage of celebrity guest appearances over the years. Celebs who have previously starred in Zombies modes include David Tennant, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames. Real historical figures like John F Kennedy and Fidel Castro have also appeared as playable characters.
We wonder if Treyarch has adopted a celeb-filled approach to Zombies in Call of Duty: Vanguard, or if it'll stick to recognizable series characters.
Either way, knowing that Treyarch is behind the wheel of Vanguard's Zombies mode has us more than assured that it'll be a ton of fun. Treyarch's
offerings are usually fantastic, loaded with great level design, hidden objectives and oodles of fun Easter eggs, including some that took years to discover . Best PS5 games : the PlayStation 5 games you need to play
