Fan theories are running wild after Call of Duty: Warzone players started to find hints of zombies in Verdansk's future. Long has the game been filled with rumors of nuclear devastation, undead invasion, and other climatic endings to Verdansk. While most of these rumors go unwarranted, zombies may actually be in the future of Call of Duty: Warzone's story.

Call of Duty: Warzone has weaved its narrative with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. While the 1960s title is currently exploring an active gas threat in Verdansk, there is an evolving Zombie threat brewing in the game's background. This threat may eventually emerge within Verdansk as either a short event or a season worth of undead carnage.

In a Tweet posted by EricMaynardIII, the Call of Duty: Warzone fan discovered a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies Trial Machine in the hospital. Based on the image, the player could not only investigate it, but they could interact with it to cause some unknown reaction. This machine appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode, where it allows players to trade in points for rewards. Considering that the machine usually only collects Zombies points, it has sparked rumors in the community that undead may be coming.

Zombies are a long-requested feature in the Call of Duty battle royale experience. After their successful appearance in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout mode, players have awaited the day when they would appear within the Verdansk operation. Zombies could easily drop loot, open up new tactical possibilities, and push players into a more competitive battle royale experience.

While the machine is interesting, it is still far from a confirmation of an undead invasion. Activision and Treyarch have not announced any formal additions to the game, but an update is known to be coming. Call of Duty: Warzone Season 2 is filled with possibilities, and the rise of an undead horde could easily be one of those many options.

The Call of Duty: Warzone community is currently occupied, stopping the spread of Nova 6. With Rebirth Island being a facility that manufactures the poison gas, some players argue that the upcoming season will only expand the Nova 6 plot rather than add in the undead. Despite this, community hope is still leaning towards a zombie invasion, as it could easily bring Verdansk to a new level of tactical and intense gunplay.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
