World Premiere Today of All-New Cooperative
Nazi Zombies Mode at All-Star Comic Con Panel, Hosted by Kinda
Funny Games’ Greg Miller
Cast Stars David Tennant, Elodie Yung, Katheryn
Winnick, Udo Kier and Ving Rhames
An all-new, twisted take on Activision’s Call of Duty zombies
co-op mode is here. Call of Duty®: WWII - Nazi Zombies, a
chilling, dark vision of undead horror, was revealed today at San
Diego Comic Con alongside members of its all-star cast of
characters, which in full includes David Tennant, Elodie Yung,
Katheryn Winnick, Udo Kier and Ving Rhames. Launching on November 3
as part of Call of Duty: WWII, the Nazi Zombies cooperative
mode delivers a sinister original story from Sledgehammer Games,
delivering a new definition of terror to Call of Duty zombies.
“With Nazi Zombies, we’re creating a frightening world full of
terrifying characters and events that will make you jump and look
over your shoulder. There’s an incredible amount of myth and lore,
which our team has poured through in our development,” said Glen
Schofield, Studio Head and Co-Founder of Sledgehammer Games. “This
is unlike anything before, we’re taking players to some very dark,
grim places in Nazi Zombies. This is one hell of a horror
experience.”
Michael Condrey, Studio Head and Co-Founder of Sledgehammer
Games added, “We couldn’t be more excited to showcase our reveal of
Nazi Zombies here at San Diego Comic Con. It’s been great to return
to creating a horror-based experience, and with Call of Duty, head
back to the Nazi Zombies roots. The team at the studio is proud of
the opportunity to deliver something special for the fans.”
Call of Duty: WWII – Nazi Zombies is a terrifying, new
zombies cooperative experience that transports players into a
labyrinth of chilling occult Nazi zombies experiments, and
monstrous creations set mythically in World War II. The story
unfolds as an international team peels back the vile layers of a
malevolent plot masterminded by the Axis powers to harness
unimaginable occult forces and create an invincible undead army.
Featuring voices and likenesses, the global cast features David
Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch), Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe:
Retaliation, Daredevil), Katheryn Winnick (Vikings, The Dark
Tower), Udo Kier (Blade, Melancholia) and Ving Rhames (Pulp
Fiction, Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation).
The Nazi Zombies San Diego Comic Con panel was hosted by YouTube
personality Greg Miller, co-founder of Kinda Funny Games and
featured the cast along with developers from the Sledgehammer Games
team. Panel attendees got a first look at all new zombies footage,
plus a behind the scenes sneak peek at the making of the new
cooperative mode.
