Report: Call Of Duty 2025 Will Go Big On Zombies As Xbox Plans Black Ops 2 Sequel

The Call of Duty machine never stops, and today, fresh details about this year's entry in the series have emerged courtesy of Insider Gaming. The reputable outlet has put out a new report that focuses on developer Treyarch going all-in on Zombies mode - with six maps planned; set in some "out there" locations.

The report says that these six maps will be spread across the game's life cycle - so we probably shouldn't expect to see all of them on day one. However, we can expect to see some familiar faces here - IG claims that the original Zombies cast is "likely making a return" in this year's game.

"Insider Gaming has learned that Call of Duty 2025, which will be led by Treyarch Games, could have a total of six round-based zombies maps during the games lifecycle. Details of what Call of Duty 2025 is shaping up to be is already an open secret, including that the game is a Black Ops 2 sequel and that the original zombies crew is likely making a return."

As you can see in the above quote there - it's looking like this year's Call of Duty game will be tied to the fan-favourite Black Ops 2 in some way, which is a rumour we've heard a few times now. If Treyarch is indeed leading development on COD 2025, we'd expect it to be a 'stop-gap' title of sorts - similar to 2023's Modern Warfare 3 which came to be in a very short time frame.

The report closes out by discussing some of the game's more "out there" Zombies locations, which may or may not make it into the full release. The team has reportedly been messing around with levels set in post-WW2 New York, a Japanese temple, Vietnam, Afghanistan and a space station. Of course, this year's COD game is expected to feature campaign and multiplayer modes too - all of which we should learn about officially in the coming months.
