The new community event for Call of
Duty®: Black Ops 4 – Operation Apocalypse Z
– is available now on Playstation®4, with other
platforms to follow. Operation Apocalypse Z unleashes hordes
of the undead across the game as it channels the series’ Zombies
legacy through updates across the entire game. The new content
includes a fan-favorite Specialist “Reaper” who makes its Black Ops
4 debut, three Multiplayer maps, new eerie atmosphere in the
Blackout map, and a variety of themed personalization items and
gear to acquire. Additionally, players will return to Treyarch’s
epic Aether story in the new action-packed Zombies Experience,
Alpha Omega.
“We have a team of talented storytellers that have been helping
to craft Zombies experiences for more than 10 years, and we wanted
to bring that imagination to every mode of Black Ops 4, which is
why we’re excited to put Operation Apocalypse Z in player’s
hands,” said Dan Bunting, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch. “This is a
veteran team that strives to do their best work with each new
experience and this is no exception – Operation Apocalypse Z
represents a ton of creativity and passion from everyone to really
immerse fans in our unique world of the undead.”
“We can’t wait for the Zombies faithful to experience Alpha
Omega, which marks the return of the Aether story and the
opportunity to play as both the Primis and Ultimis crews – it’s a
unique mix of gameplay that has truly been inspired by our
community of fans,” said Mark Gordon, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch.
“This map is over four times larger and features more dialogue than
the Nuketown you’ve played before, and combined with everything
else that’s coming in Operation Apocalypse Z, this is our
most exciting season to date.”
Operation Apocalypse Z’s free, new content includes:
- New Blackout Updates – As the Zombie apocalypse has
begun, sunny skies have departed in favor of something more
un-deadly in the main Blackout map. Zombies have leeched most of
the life from the landscape forcing the alive to take refuge and
survive amongst a deep fog and familiar Zombies sights and sounds.
Additionally, the Alcatraz map debuts a nighttime atmospheric
change complete with new Zombie enemies. Coming later in the
Operation, brand-new Zombie-themed Blackout modes will also debut
in the game, including Pandemic and Alcatraz Horde.
- New Specialist – Available now in both Multiplayer and
Blackout, Reaper makes its Black Ops 4 debut. Reaper is a
cutting-edge combat robot with a robust fighting style wielding the
Scythe, a high-powered, two-handed minigun unleashing heavy
gunfire. This fan-favorite Specialist is also equipped with a Radar
Shroud that prohibits enemies from using their minimap and deploys
a scrambling device to block out areas on enemies’ minimap.
- New Black Market Gear – The Black Market has been
restocked with a variety of new Zombie-themed Specialist outfits
and personalization items, weapon camos and gestures for
Operation Apocalypse Z. This includes new weapons like the
Reaver C86 Crossbow, Black Ops III’s Argus Shotgun, Daemon 3XB
Mastercraft, MOG 12 MKll and Vendetta MKll that players can acquire
and master.
- New Zombies Features – Operation Apocalypse Z
introduces new Perks and Elixirs across all Zombies maps, providing
new variations on gameplay once they’re equipped and
activated.
In addition to the Operation Apocalypse Z free content,
owners of the Black Ops Pass gain access to more new content,
available first on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system:
- New Multiplayer Map, Der Schatten – A snowy map set in a
village high in the Austrian Alps that sits in the shadows of the
castle from the Aether story Zombies experience, “Der Eisendrache.”
Combat takes place in a combination of bright and dark areas
pushing player to fight in close quarters.
- New Multiplayer Map, Remnant – A large-sized map set in
the “The Museum of Unnatural History” deep in the Louisiana marshes
where historical relics thirst for chaos and blood. Complete with a
portal that can transport players to opposite sides of the map,
Remnant is structured for mid-ranged combat where longer sightlines
flank the exterior of the museum.
- Remastered Multiplayer Map, Havana – Reimagined from the
original Call of Duty: Black Ops, Havana is a medium-sized map set
in a sunny Cuban city during the Cold War tensions. The map is
designed in a Z-shape resulting in a combination of close and
long-ranged firefights.
- New Zombies Experience, Alpha Omega – Continuing the
Aether storyline, Alpha Omega lets players jump in as the original,
fan-favorite Zombies characters from both the Primis and Ultimis
cast, playable together for the first time ever. This allows fans
to gain new insight into the ever-twisting story as the timelines
converge. Players will fight off hordes of new Zombie enemies,
solve challenges, and discover new Easter eggs in a wild experience
up to the very end.
