Raven Softwares cancelled Call of Duty zombies game featured a Mad Max-style gladiator arena
Summary
A couple of months ago, we learned that Raven Software lead designer Michael Gummelt had worked on a live service Call Of Duty zombies game before it got cancelled. Details were practically non-existent at the time, but YouTuber Glitching Queen recently interviewed Gummelt about what the game couldve become. The original design doc pitch was a "fun, campy, experimental" experience that would have kept Call of Duty Zombies modes historically goofy tone, with seasonal theme switches. In a positive spin, he does say that we wouldnt have gotten "Black Ops 2, and 3 and 4 zombies" otherwise, which Id argue are fairly good hangs, if a touch overcomplicated at times. Id prefer to play the game in bursts with pals and I dont think slaughtering zombies to earn tokens on a battle pass would fill me with joy.
