Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies Trailer Shows Off New Weapons And Story Details

Activision has shared a new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. This one focuses entirely on the game's Zombies mode, introducing players to its four playable characters and setting the stage for two of the three Zombies episodes that will be available when the game launches this fall.

Black Ops 4's Zombies mode follows the story of Scarlett Rhodes, a young woman searching for her father who mysteriously disappeared 15 years ago. She crosses paths with three "loyal outcasts," who team up with Scarlett out of gratitude to her father to help her find him. Their search ultimately becomes entangled with an ancient relic that appears to have the power to create zombies and transport the group back in time.

The trailer, which you can watch above, offers a glimpse at two Zombies chapters: Voyage of Despair and IX. The former is set aboard the Titanic, which has been overrun by some type of dark magic that transforms the crew members and other passengers into zombies. The latter episode takes the group back in time to a Roman battle arena, where they must fight zombie tigers and other horrific monsters. Both Voyage of Despair and IX will be available to play at launch, along with a third Zombies episode titled Blood of the Dead.

Activision first unveiled the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Zombies mode during the game's big reveal event back in May. In addition to sharing details about the aforementioned episodes, the publisher revealed that Zombies mode will feature seasonal events called Callings, as well as daily, monthly, and yearly events. Players will be able to tackle the mode either with friends or AI bots.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12. Unlike previous installments, it won't feature a traditional single-player campaign, but rather a series of solo missions that focus on each of its Specialist characters. It will also have a battle royale-style mode called Blackout.

Ahead of its release, Activision will host a series of beta tests for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The Private Multiplayer Beta takes place in August. A separate beta for the aforementioned Blackout mode will also be held in September. Additional details on that test will be announced later.
