The image is a direct hint to a loved mini-game version of Zombies known as the Dead Ops Arcade. This took the zombie blasting experience and turned into a minor bullet-hell experience where players must battle through multiple waves and maps of angry undead. This will be the first Dead Ops Arcade since the sequel’s reveal inBlack Ops 3.
The silhouette in the background made many fans believe that this could be a return back to the original Dead Ops Arcade map. The original game mode had a Mayan jungle theme that would easily fit on a lost island like in the promo. While the promo gives very little information, fans were quick to speculate based on past experiences with the series.
The Dead Ops Arcade series was a twin-stick top-down shooter experience that relied on a survival mechanic similar to the rest ofthe Zombie franchise. As the waves get increasingly difficult, players will have to continue to outmaneuver and dodge incoming zombies while firing infinite ammo at theaggressively assaulting Zombie horde.
The entire game was stylized like an arcade experience, challenging the player to achieve higher scores in each attempt. Multipliers were gained by collecting treasure that would slowly fill until capping at 9. Players would begin each game with three lives and run until the lives are all expended for infinite rounds.
The sequel, Dead Ops Arcade 2: Cyber’s Avenging, ran on similar principles but did require a special process to unlock. It is unclear if the third game in the series will also require an unlock process, but there are many Dead Ops fans who are simplyhappy to see the Zombies game mode’s return.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris set to release on November 13th for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
