Modern Warfare 3 Zombies: Free-to-play or premium offering

Call of Duty introduced the Zombie mode in 2008 with the release of World at War, which quickly gained enormous popularity among the community. As a result, the developers decided to follow the trend. They integrated this mode into several titles, including the Black Ops series, Advanced Warfare, Vanguard, World War 2, and Infinite Warfare.

However, this will be the first appearance of the Zombie mode in the Modern Warfare series. On August 17, Call of Duty officially announced an open-world PvE extraction survival zombies experience, putting players against fearsome opponents - some of the franchise's most prominent enemies to date.

This mode, distinguished by a separate storyline, promises exciting mysteries to discover. This enthralling mode is poised to enthrall existing fans and has the potential to bring back interest among previous players, improving the game's overall popularity.

Activision has kept the specifics under wraps for the time being. However, well-known Call of Duty content creators like ModernWarzone have shed light and revealed that the Zombies mode will combine DMZ and Outbreak, resulting in a unique experience. Furthermore, it has been stated that the way would only feature PvE encounters, with no PvP experience.

Furthermore, a previous leaked source stated that with the release of Modern Warfare 3, Warzone will no longer have the DMZ mode. Given the information available, MW Zombies (MWZ) may replace DMZ. Given the free-to-play nature of DMZ, the same paradigm might apply to MW Zombies.


The above conclusion is only a highly appealing hypothesis based on leaked information. Therefore, gamers should be patient and wait for additional details about MWZ in the coming days.
