Colorful pants, breakdancing zombies, and David Hasselhoff? Yes, please.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon proved that there is no popular first-person shooter that wouldn't benefit from implementing a heavy dose of 1980s ridiculousness into the gameplay formula, and now, Call of Duty will take its own stab at that particular recipe as Infinity Ward has announced that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's zombie mode will take players back to that fabled time in popular culture in order to do battle with the undead.
The must-see reveal trailer can be found below:
Rather than match the theme of Infinite Warfare by having fans do battle with zombies in space again such as we saw in one of Black Ops zombie maps, Infinity Ward designed the upcoming Zombies in Spaceland to take you and your team of decade appropriate stereotypes to a popular '80s theme park called Spaceland. Your characters believe that they have been sent there to audition for an upcoming movie, but instead, they are met with a legion of colourfully dressed undead creatures that they will need to use a variety of creative weapons against.
Although these modes have never really tried to realistically recreate zombie warfare, this is certainly the most outlandish setting for the popular horde feature yet. While you can probably expect the core game to function roughly as it did in previous versions, it's great to see the developers go all-in on the aesthetical aspects of the period and even give use new themed weapons to play with such as an explosive boom box that compels nearby zombies to group up and breakdance.
Zombies in Spaceland will also sport a notable cast of voice actors that include Seth Green, Ike Barinholtz, Jay Pharoah, Sasheer Zamata, Paul Reubens, and the immortal David Hasselhoff.
Zombies in Spaceland should be available when Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare launches on November 4th.
