Call of Duty has swayed millions of fans worldwide with the latest offering in Modern Warfare II. Ever since its awaited debut last year, Activision’s action blockbuster has turned out to be a record-breaking success to say the least. With that being said, it only makes sense for the developing team behind this game to keep churning out more content in order to keep the player base hooked for an extended period of time. So why not bring a celebrated mode made famous by another iconic saga in Black Ops?

Yes, we are talking about the fan-favorite Zombies mode that has maintained its solid popularity from the time when it was originally introduced in the Call of Duty franchise. Mostly, players have witnessed it in the Black Ops games from Treyarch. But is there any chance for Zombies to make their entrance through some kind of magical portal in Modern Warfare II? Let’s find out.

Will Call of Duty Modern Warfare II receive its own dedicated Zombies experience in 2023?
