Many have bemoaned the fact that yet another World War II shooter is on the horizon. But what if a new WWII shooter had zombies in it? That's exactly what World at War developer Treyarch was thinking. In the latest episode of GameTrailers TV Treyarch unveiled a cooperative zombie survival mode that stands outside the central game, but will be available in multiplayer.
The mode will consist of four players fighting against infinite waves of Nazi undead. The point is simple survival. Players will be awarded money to buy weapons from crates as they tear through zombie hordes and have the ability to buy objects like wood and sofas to barricade a central structure on the map.
Zombies will be able to tear down barricades gradually, so it appears to be of the players’ best interest to stick together and buy things at the appropriate time. There also appears to be some sort of revive mechanic present in the mode, but it wasn’t explained. Players will have to complete the campaign in World at War to unlock the zombie mode.
Unlocking it is a very small price to pay for something that sounds entirely too cool. What do you guys think? Are you ready to start blowing off body parts in the name of survival?

btw: zombies for every game coming out this fall confirmed!!!
Last minute add ons FTW!
Game developers are keen to the zombie craze. They know I will buy it now that there is a zombie game with in the game itself.
Cool find though.
apparently not.
You just can't have this much A+ zombie at any given time because the LAST time this sort of thing happened we lost the dinosaurs.
No. Wolfenstein did it already; L4D is doing it now. Shut the fuck up, Treyarch, and stop riding people's coattails.
This is awesome. Disagreement is impossible.
good man! 100% agreement.
@ DTOID
You already know it's COD4 w/WW2 Skin. Well we had this in Modern Warfare. (( Arcade Mode )), NO?
Now they just need to officially add in a Micheal Meyers mode.
Close.
1) This is just another multiplayer game mode. Are you seriously going to bitch about a developer adding an extra multiplayer mode to their game?
2) No one is forcing you to play zombie mode. Hell, no one is forcing you to play World At War. Stop complaining just for the sake of complaining. If you don't like it, you don't have to play it.
3) They have not added zombies to the campaign. This is a novelty gametype that has been included in the game so that people can enjoy it. This is not fucking rocket science. They have not compromised the campaign's realism. Use your heads, people.
4) Good grief.
HI FIEV!
THANK YOU!
Yet another game to hone my skills ready for the zombie apocalypse
Who would of fucking thought they'd throw in ZOMBIES!? Fuck! now I have to buy it! Ugh... so broke.
