They’re back and they’re stronger than ever! Call of Duty Vanguard owners might be in for a treat; rumors suggest the title launches with a Zombie invasion. Since the game launches only a few days past Halloween, it was only natural to start by welcoming the walking-dead back.

Although there has been no announcement since the recent confirmation of the dates and requirements for the beta tests, according to leakers, the Zombies will not be similar to their classic versions. The new Zombie mode will be an amalgamation of Call of Duty’s most popular modes: Outbreak, Onslaught, and Roundbased.
