Activision has recently unveiled some exciting details about the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, providing fans with a glimpse into what they can expect from the upcoming installment in the rebooted series. One of the highlights is the promised largest map ever for the Zombies mode, which will offer players the opportunity to team up with other squads and face massive hordes of zombies.
While Sledgehammer Games takes the lead in the development of Modern Warfare III, other Activision studios are also involved in the process. Treyarch, one of the core developers of the Call of Duty franchise, is responsible for this year’s Zombies mode, which will introduce a “Dark Aether” story. The mode will feature a range of missions, secrets to discover, and an open-world PvE extraction survival experience. Additionally, Zombies mode will introduce some of the biggest enemies ever seen in the franchise.
In addition to the revamped Zombies mode, Modern Warfare III will pay homage to a fan-favorite aspect of the series by including all 16 original multiplayer maps from the 2009 version of Modern Warfare 2. These classic maps, such as Terminal and Highrise, have been modernized and will feature new modes and gameplay features. Furthermore, the game will introduce more than 12 new six vs. six maps in future seasons.
Multiplayer modes will also see the addition of three new Battle Maps for Ground War and Invasion modes, along with a War map that brings back the War Mode from 2017’s Call of Duty: WWll.
