What to expect from Dark Aether Rift in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies?
The Dark Aether acts as a parallel dimension, with its rift functioning as a portal and allowing passage between realms. In the Season 1 update, Modern Warfare 3's Zombie mode will receive a new story act, which will introduce a massive gateway within the exclusion zone. Your task will involve investigating this area and overcoming all the new challenges.
Entering the Dark Aether through the Rift will lead you to a labyrinth-like experience. The Zombies mode will offer a unique environment for a 30-minute time frame and involve a series of progressively chaotic objectives that you'll need to accomplish to obtain exceptional rewards.
However, unlocking the Dark Aether Rift requires you to find Sigils, adding a layer to your MW3 Zombies.
