During today’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, Treyarch revealed a few interesting tidbits regarding Black Ops 4’s expanded Zombie mode.

First up, the studio debuted the intro cutscene for “Blood of the Dead,” the third Zombies experience available on the disc that fans will be able to play come release day. Check it out below.

“Blood of the Dead” is a reimagined, fan-favorite Zombies experience takes the classic Zombies heroes — Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai – on a journey to a secret laboratory beneath the iconic Alcatraz Penitentiary. Encountering a familiar enemy Hell-bent on imprisoning them for all eternity, the Primis crew quickly realize that the future predicted by the Kronorium – the future they sought to secure – is now in jeopardy.
In addition to that, Treyarch also revealed the “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Mystery Box Edition” — a limited edition (duh!) packed with items in a collectible box inspired by the in-game Zombies mystery box.
