Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is going to kick off Season 2 on Thursday, February 25, bringing with it a ton of new content for fans of the first-person shooter to dive into. For Zombies enthusiasts, this will include the brand new open world Zombies mode called Outbreak. The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies Outbreak mode previously leaked last week, and now it's been officially confirmed by Activision.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies Outbreak mode is described by Activision as a "large-scale Zombies experience," which is in contrast to the smaller Zombies maps that players are typically playing on. In Outbreak, players will explore the Ural Mountains in Russia, which are being overrun by zombies and other Dark Aether monstrosities. Like the standard Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode, up to four players will be able to play Outbreak.

To better explore this massive new Zombies map, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players will be able to take advantage of things like vehicles and jump pads. They will have a variety of objectives to complete, intel to find, and secrets to discover. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players will be able to Exfil from the Outbreak mode like they can on other Zombies maps, and they will also be able to travel to the Dark Aether world through a portal.

More specific details on the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Outbreak mode are unavailable at this time, but Activision has promised more information in the days ahead. This will include general information about what Zombies fans can expect from Outbreak, as well as a deeper dive into what the mode will entail.

Activision detailed some of the other new content coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies with the Outbreak game mode. Players can look forward to the new Frenzied Guard Field Upgrade as well as the Shatter Blast ammo mod. Players will also be able to upgrade their Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies skills to Tiers IV and V with the help of new Refined and Flawless Aetherium Crystals.

Needless to say, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 2 will represent a rather substantial update for the Zombies experience. Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how Treyarch works to expand Zombies and the rest of Black Ops Cold War in future seasons.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
