Treyarch reveals what's next for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies

Treyarch has detailed what’s coming to Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Outbreak gets its first main quest with the launch of the mid-season three refresh, at 6pm UK time on Thursday 20th May – the same time Rambo and Die Hard’s Die Hard’s John McClane hit Black Ops Cold War and Warzone.

In a blog post, Treyarch said that from there, the studio plans to release a “record amount” of quest-driven Zombies content ahead of the next chapters of the Dark Aether story.

Outbreak main quests are upcoming in both the current season three and season four, Treyarch confirmed. The events in the Ural Mountains directly set up the story for Zombies’ next round-based map.

One of the points of contention within the Zombies community is the seeming lack of brand new round-based maps, with Outbreak favoured. In its blog post, Treyarch said currently the number of Outbreak players is “virtually neck-and-neck” with round-based map players. Clearly, Treyarch considers Outbreak – a large-scale Zombies mode – to be a success.
