Just when we thought that Treyarch would share its Zombies mode with all future Call of Duty games following last year's Vanguard, a credible report is saying otherwise.
Apparently, this year's Modern Warfare 2 will not have a Zombies mode.
This unfortunate news is not a big surprise. Zombies is usually a Treyarch-exclusive game mode save for a few exceptions. Infinity Ward previously integrated a Zombies mode for its 2016 Call of Duty game, Infinite Warfare. But, this hasn't happened since, and 2019's Modern Warfare didn't have a Zombies mode either.
Interestingly enough, Brian Bright, who was the ex-Project Director for Infinite Warfare's Zombies mode, had some enlightening data to show. According to Bright, "the split of IW zombies to MP daily players was close to 60% IW zombies to 40% IW MP." In comparison, Zombies mode in Treyarch games like the Black Ops series could only "pull close to 20-30% of total players.
Furthermore, Bright added that "the split was even more in favor of IW zombies to MP" following the release of DLC 4, which came out in September 2017, nearly a year after Infinite Warfare was released in November 2016.
