Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 features three time-traveling Zombies episodes

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 doesn’t have a single-player campaign. But it is tripling-down on the franchise’s popular Zombies mode in an Activision reveal event today in Los Angeles. The new Black Ops will have three Zombies experiences, or episodes, when the game launches October 12 on PC, the PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Zombies started as a co-op mode bonus level, or “Easter egg,” in Call of Duty: World at War. It became so popular that the Treyarch studio added it to each of its Call of Duty games, and now all of the franchises’s entries have it. But each one of those modes had one major episode.
