Activision and Treyarch hosted their “Community Reveal” for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 earlier today, and they delivered a massive amount of information during the livestream.
The big brains at Treyarch have announced they’ll bring three Zombies experiences to Black Ops 4 at launch. And because they’re always mixing things up, this time around, fans will be able to fight zombies on the Titanic (“Voyage of Despair”) and in a gladiator arena (“IX”). A third map (“Blood of the Dead”) will be familiar to fans as a remake of the Alcatraz-set “Mob of the Dead” scenario. Multiple difficulty levels and a streamlined “Zombie Rush” mode will also be available:
Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the original Call of Duty Zombies, Black Ops 4 also debuts an entirely new and unprecedented Zombies experience that’s the biggest Day One offering in franchise history… with three fully-featured Zombies experiences at launch… IX, Voyage of Despair, and Blood of the Dead.
With immersive new adventures, a brand new cast of characters and a nefarious new enemy, Black Ops 4 Zombies will feature the deep gameplay and easter eggs that the rabid community of fans devours. It also includes the most customizable action to date, new systems for creating and completing community challenges, and social systems designed to connect players. Black Ops 4 also reintroduces difficulty levels and an in-game tutorial to onboard new players to the Zombies universe, while giving hardcore players the option of ratcheting up the challenge.
Additionally, Zombie Rush is a brand new mode that streamlines the gameplay experience, introducing enticing new challenges to grizzled veterans, while creating a whole new tempo of gameplay for newcomers.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be released for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on October 12. You can view a trio of new trailers for the game’s Zombies offerings after the break.
