Activision announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War Zombies will take place in a World War II bunker and will have cross-platform play for four-player co-op matches.

The cross-platform play represents the first time that Zombies will be available for players to team up together even if they are on different platforms like the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, or the new consoles arriving in November. In Treyarch games, Zombies is just about as popular as the multiplayer and single-player campaigns, enabling Activision to market these Call of Duty releases as three games in one. Treyarch is one of several developers working on this year’s Call of Duty, the 17th installment in the series, which debuts November 13.
