Vanguard Zombies Season 2: Everything We Know


Alongside huge content drops for Warzone and Vanguard multiplayer, the game's Zombies experience is also set for a wide range of all-new features in Season 2, much to the excitement of the community.

Zombies developer Treyarch is aiming to create a unique undead experience despite the lack of a round-based map. Der Anfang launched without a main Easter Egg quest, Wonder Weapons, and no round-based action Zombies is synonymous with.

On February 8, Activision published a blog detailing the new content ranging from the return of classic Wonder Weapons to a brand-new Objective for players to complete.

Vanguard Zombies Season 2 Map

The multiplayer map of Red Star currently acts as a hub for each gateway in Der Anfang and in Season 2, a new experience called "Terra Maledicta" will arrive. Set in the Egyptian desert, players will access new gateways alongside the Dark Aether.

Within the Dark Aether is a "beachhead" where players can obtain a page from the Tome of Rituals.
