The inclusion of zombies has been confirmed by Treyarch, makers of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops shooter scheduled for release in November 2010.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is the seventh installment in the popular series and is set during the Cold-War era.  This time around, the game will place emphasis very heavily on storyline, and place players in situations focusing on Cold-War era military cover-ups.

Originally packaged as content in Call of Duty: World at War, the zombie mode in the game was so popular amongst players that “Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies” was developed for the iPhone.  In this game play mode, players fought off an endless onslaught of Nazi zombie intruders while simultaneously trying to repair windows to the safe house that kept the undead out.

Since everyone knows that simply including the same content in a new game would be unacceptable, the question begs to be asked “how different will the zombie mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops be?  According to Mark Lamia at Treyarch, “Zombies have been such a hit with our community that we were committed to bringing brand new zombie experiences to Call of Duty: Black Ops…”

We can’t wait to find out.
