Although Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War releases in less than a month’s time now, there’s still a lot of unknown for its Zombies mode. Treyarch is likely keeping as much of the curtain drawn there as it can, as regardless, Treyarch Zombies are a seller. Mystery only adds to that.
What has been confirmed so far is that the first map is Die Maschine, which is a remake of sorts for Nacht der Untoten, the original Zombies map. It allows players to explore a new story and secrets with Soviet-era weaponry and to do so through the eyes of the original Black Ops. Grigoi Weaver from the original game explores a WW2 bunker in position to The Omega Group. Instead of returning or new specific characters, players will use Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s multiplayer operators, including Frank Woods and more, to explore this Zombies story.
Furthermore, Zombies will feature a Battle Pass and use loadouts, have a rarity system with weapons, and Field Upgrades like Black Ops Cold War‘s multiplayer. Classic Perks like Juggernog and Speed Cola are set to return, with there being the added ability to “Exfil” in a game mode. It’s also the first time in Call of Duty history that zombie will feature cross-play across generations with cross-progression, with all post-launch content being free.
What’s clear is how Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is trying to take steps forward while paying proper homage to the past. Fitting, it is then, that before the game even had a proper name, many rumors circulated that Black Ops Cold War would include a remake of Tranzit. There’s nothing to confirm this as a possible plan or DLC, and the rumor themselves have long since fallen to the wayside. While a remake of Tranzit is unlikely, at least on day one, the implication alone sets up big things.
Black Ops 3 and Black Ops 4 are where many Zombies enthusiasts fell off the bus, so to speak. Zombies has always been fun, but the gameplay changes introduced in BO3 and which jumped forward in BO4 has created several fan awaiting the nostalgic feel. While which Zombies mode is best is subjective, Black Ops 1 perfected a formula introduced in World at War, and Black Ops 2 carried that momentum forward. Tranzit became the biggest map at the time, was more interactive than past maps, and had a lot of features that felt unique, but most importantly, fitting.
A remake of Tranzit or keeping Tranzit in mind means Treyarch may be looking at how to capture the classic experience with some unique twists and turns, without going so far as the departure seen in Black Ops 4. Even if a literal Tranzit remake is unlikely, understanding how the map worked on a basic level and building from there would be a good way to move forward. While it remains to be seen what other maps exist, it does seem that Dies Maschine captures that by binging back the original map and expanding on it. If Treyarch can do this with even a few of the maps, while introducing new ones that capture the same spirit, Zombies may just be resurrected bigger and better than ever.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to release on November 13 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
