won't be the first time a
mode appears in a game not headed by Treyarch, but it does represent a stepping stone for the sub-series in many ways: it is a direct continuation of the story started by Black Ops Cold War's Zombies, is still being developed by Treyarch, and seems to be going all out with demonic elements and the occult.
We've also got a reveal date.
Teased - well, sort of outright announced, but then we also knew about this from official sources already? - on Twitter by the official Call of Duty account, Vanguard Zombies has been once again confirmed to directly continue the rebooted Dark Aether storyline started in the last installment, which hit a soft reset on the muddled Zombies timeline.
