Activision has unveiled Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War’s co-operative Zombies Onslaught mode, which, in news sure to send eyeballs a-swivelling, is confirmed to be a timed PlayStation exclusive that won’t be heading to other platforms for a full year.
Zombies Onslaught is separate to this year’s main Zombies narrative – Die Maschine, which is still coming to all platforms at launch – and is described as a “two-person, fast-paced” co-op experience that drops participants, complete with their custom load-outs, onto one of several locations derived from Cold War’s various multiplayer maps.
Here, players are confined to a limited “orb” area (“Dark Aether damage” is inflicted if they stray outside) and waves of zombies will begin spilling in. Once a sufficient number have been eliminated, the orb, and the habitable area, will move – and as each game progresses, waves will introduce more “resilient, faster and deadlier” zombies, including powerful Elite enemies.
