Returning features such as the Pack-a-Punch machine, teleporters, the Mystery Box, and perks make their return in this entry, but with a few twists. Players will battle against Dark Aether foes, with main antagonist Oberführer Wolfram Von List leading the charge. In keeping up with the narrative from Black Ops Cold War, the new Vanguard Zombies mode will throw players into a story called “Der Anfang” (The Beginning). While the reveal trailer itself didn’t give us much information to work with, Activision later published a thorough breakdown of the new Zombies mode.
Vanguard Zombies takes us back to World War II.
