Of all the leaks that lead up to the reveal of Modern Warfare 3, none of them suggested that this year’s game would be the one to bring Zombies back into the series. Zombies mode has always been one of the key pillars of Call of Duty, of course, but the mode has either ben absent or so poorly implemented that you’d think Zombies was no longer a concern.
The last game to properly implement Zombies was Treyarch’s Black Ops Cold War. Modern Warfare 2019 brought back Spec Ops, and while Vanguard technically had a Zombies mode, it was such a meagre offering that it would be hard to count it. Modern Warfare 2 continued down the Spec Ops path, making it the second year in a row that Zombies fans were left without their favourite mode.
But all of that is about to change, because Modern Warfare 3 is bringing back Zombies as its co-op mode. This is not only a first for the Infinity Ward-lead series, it’s also going to be a massive offering in its own right. In a blog post breaking the news, Activision said this year’s mode will be “the largest Zombies offering to date.”
