Warzone Season 6 brings back the fan-favorite Zombie game mode

Activision has revealed the Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone season 6 roadmap, highlighted by the return of Zombie Royale.

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone Season 6: The Haunting are embracing the Halloween theme. Fittingly, the update adds new operators like Diablo 4 antagonist Lilith, Evil Dead’s Ash Williams, Hellsing’s Alucard, and more.

If that’s not enough, players can also fight Diablo 4’s mini-boss “The Butcher” in a new Limited Time Mode (LTM) or play matches in a nighttime version of Al Mazrah. Multiplayer also gets in on the action by transforming maps and modes to better suit the spooky theme.

However, what many consider the cherry on top is that Season 6 marks the long-awaited return of Zombies Royale to Warzone.

Explanation of the game Warzone Zombie Royale

Many fans still consider 2020’s “The Haunting of Verdansk” Halloween event to be one of Warzone’s biggest achievements. Instead of the traditional battle royale format, players turned into zombies when killed, setting off a small explosion during matches.

Rebirth of the Dead brought the idea back in 2022, this time adding more powers and abilities to zombie players. Now, this year’s Haunting event takes inspiration from previous iterations, combining the best elements of both.

On September 21, Activision announced: “The infamous Limited Mode from previous iterations of The Haunting is back, with all-new innovations, as well as returning elements from previous Zombies Royale experiences.”

Zombie Royale will be available as a game mode on Al Mazrah and Vondel. Just like in the past, instead of going to labor camps, players return as zombies.

Players will have special abilities such as zombies and their mission is to collect syringes to revive them as a human. As the match progresses, the spectator agents respawn and add more chaos to the battle.

If a player is eliminated, he can still help his team as a zombie. The match ends when the living or the undead eliminate everyone.

Zombie Royale will launch on October 17, as part of Season 6 Reloaded.
