  • The game's much-awaited mode would be reportedly unveiled on September 30

Following the official unveiling of the campaign gameplay and multiplayer of “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War,” Activision confirmed that the much-awaited game mode would be officially revealed on September 30.

Game developer Treyarch confirmed earlier that fans would finally see the Zombies mode of “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War” at 10 AM PT or 1 PM ET or 6 PM in the UK on Wednesday. So far, there have not been many details about the Zombies mode of the game. It was previously uncovered through a data mining activity conducted on files for The Red Door, which is the internal alpha of “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.”

Based on the previous leak, it appears that the Zombies mode would be set during the Cold War era. Players would be more likely to return to a more grounded setting following the escapades they experienced in the previous installments. Interestingly, since Zombies have insane lore, it would not be surprising to see some kind of continuity in “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.”
