Treyarch Unveils 'Ashes of the Damned': A Bold New Era for Call of Duty Zombies
  • An alliance forms between Requiem members and reimagined Primis characters to survive the chaos in the Dark Aether, setting the stage for a new, intense Zombies experience.

  • Treyarch has announced a detailed intel drop scheduled for next week, revealing gameplay mechanics, enemy types, and features, along with confirmed dates for the Black Ops 7 Beta—early access from October 2-5 for preorders and an open beta from October 5-8 for all players.

  • The upcoming game aims to deliver the most ambitious Zombies experience yet, with legendary crews, a new villain, and a return to the Dark Aether landscape.

  • A cinematic trailer picks up after the Janus Towers event, showing Requiem and alternate Primis members being pulled into a twisted reality, confronted by a powerful antagonist who drains their life force and summons undead hordes.

  • The Primis crew is reimagined with distinct backgrounds: Dempsey as a Vietnam Marine, Takeo as a disgraced ronin, Nikolai as a Soviet tank commander from Afghanistan, and Richtofen as an unhinged scientist from a victorious Axis-aligned timeline.

  • The narrative emphasizes trust issues and personality clashes as the two crews navigate their forced alliance in a hostile, alternate reality.

  • The Requiem crew features characters with evolved roles and emotional states, such as Weaver as a hardened leader, Grey questioning science, Carver as a fierce protector, and Aguinaldo relying on her instincts.

  • Treyarch officially announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies, titled 'Ashes of the Damned,' with a storyline merging two generations of heroes in the Dark Aether dimension, starting on November 14th.
