Recently, dataminers found some compelling evidence regarding Call of Duty 2020, including its modes, its new Black Ops logo, and more. These dataminers have also found evidence that suggests the reveal of Call of Duty 2020 could see a significant change to the Call of Duty: Warzone battle royale map: zombies.

Zombies in Call of Duty: Warzone could change things up considerably, especially since there are currently no NPCs at all in the game. Other battle royales have added NPCs to varying degrees of success, and it remains to be seen if they would add anything worthwhile to the Warzone battle royale experience.

We should stress that this isn’t confirmed and it’s entirely possible that this information is incorrect. Even so, it would definitely be interesting to see how fans would react if Call of Duty: Warzone added zombies to the mix. Fans didn’t seem to have a problem with Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode having zombies, but they might clash with the more realistic tone that Warzone seems to be aiming for. Of course, it’s possible that if zombies were added to Warzone that they would just be part of a limited-time event and not a permanent addition, so fans should keep that in mind as well.

If zombies are added to Warzone, one has to imagine that their debut would be tied to the upcoming Call of Duty 2020. Previously, some reputable leakers claimed that Warzone would be used to tease Call of Duty 2020, so the zombies could be part of that promotion. Alternatively, maybe zombies will be added to Warzone in a second map debuting alongside Call of Duty 2020.

Industry insiders have suggested that Call of Duty 2020 will have Blackout, which seems to contradict Infinity Ward’s previous claim that Warzone will be a constant, even as new Call of Duty games are launched. However, it’s totally within the realm of possibility that Blackout will instead be re-introduced as a second map for Warzone. That’s just speculation at this time, but it would allow Activision to get more mileage out of Blackout without splitting up the Warzone playerbase.

Whether or not Warzone is adding zombies remains to be seen, but evidence does suggest that Call of Duty 2020 will have a Zombies mode at least. Fans will want to tune in to the Call of Duty 2020 reveal, whenever it happens, for more information.
