The new story follows the dynamic of Requiem, a CIA-backed international response team, and Omega Group, their Soviet counterparts. Both organizations aim to discover deeply buried secrets from the World War II.
Among all the characters is one particular contact, Sam, who seems eager to share intel discovered from deep within the KGB. Bolstered by various pieces of intel that players can track in-game, this incredible Zombies story will start to unfold mysteries in unexpected ways.
New features for Cold War Zombies
Storyline and new characters aren’t the only novel features of Cold War Zombies. For the first time, a Zombies mode in Call of Duty will feature crossplay, which will allow players across platforms to team up together. It will also work across various versions of the same console.
Additionally, for the first time, the Zombies mode will contribute to the Battle Pass progression of the game. Moreover, players can also use their pre-made gunsmith loadouts in the game mode.
Along with these features, the developers have added weapon rarity to make sure players have a chance to find stronger weapons that are sustainable for later rounds. They will also have an opportunity to find lethal equipment, like frags, across the map.

Finally, the developers have added another feature called ‘Exfil’. If the whole squad is in trouble, players can opt to exfiltrate the undead combat zone via helicopter. Although zombie spawns will be dialed up to 11, they should expect to earn some rewards if the squad completes this final push to survive.
The mode will launch along with the final version of the game on November 13. However, players will be able to access open and crossplay betas in the second week of October.
