It seems as though Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be continuing the franchise’s exclusivity deals with PlayStation. It’s been confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on PS4 and PS5 will have exclusive access to a Zombies mode for an entire year.
The trailer shows various Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer maps swarming with zombies for a special mode called Zombies Onslaught. Whereas the standard Zombies mode supports up to four players, Zombies Onslaught in Black Ops Cold War is limited to two players. The goal is to simply survive against never-ending waves of zombies, with players earning exclusive rewards for their efforts. On paper, it sounds like a standard horde mode and not unlike the Spec Ops Survival mode from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Spec Ops Survival in Modern Warfare was exclusive to PS4 for an entire year, which was the source of quite a bit of controversy. Previously, Call of Duty exclusivity deals only lasted for a month, and so some fans have complained that these year-long exclusivity deals are a little extreme. In fact, by the time this exclusivity deal runs out, the new Call of Duty game will be well on the way, if it’s not out already. Furthermore, these exclusive modes mean that players on PC and Xbox are expected to pay the same price as those on PlayStation for less content, which is not consumer-friendly at all.
However, it should be noted that while Zombies Onslaught will apparently be PlayStation-exclusive, the core Zombies mode will be available to all players. Not only that, but all Black Ops Cold War players will also have a full-fledged single-player campaign to go through as well as the classic Call of Duty multiplayer and access to new content in Warzone.
Plus, all Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War DLC will be free, with new content released seasonally, similarly to how it was handled with Modern Warfare. Black Ops Cold War will have Battle Passes that players can choose to buy to get extra content, plus some cosmetic bundles that will be sold in the in-game store. However, all Zombies DLC maps, multiplayer maps, and more will be added to the game with no additional purchase necessary.
Regardless, those on PS4 and PS5 are still getting more content than those on PC and Xbox, with PlayStation gamers able to check out Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s Zombies Onslaught on November 13. Those on PC and Xbox will have to wait until November 1, 2021 to try the mode.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War launches November 13 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
