Call of Duty: Cold War Zombies Might See Antagonist Return

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is one of the most anticipated titles of this year. The hype around this title has been on a steady rise ever since people found its internal alpha version on the PlayStation 4 servers. The open beta build of the game received a mixed bag of responses from the community, mainly due to the skill-based matchmaking system. However, overall, the community sure loved it.

The Zombies mode of this game created substantial hype on its own, and for good reason. We already know that the mode might see the revival of the Nacht der Untoten map, which happens to be the first-ever zombie map in the entire franchise.

Will Ludvig return in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War?

Thanks to data miners shedding light and providing insight for the community, we now know of yet another interesting piece of information. The Zombies mode of Black Ops Cold War might see the return of Ludvig Maxis. Those familiar with the name will know how big this is.

For those who do not know, Ludvig Maxis is the principal contributor to the creation of zombies and hellhounds in the Aether storyline, which BOCW Zombie mode is to follow. He has featured as an antagonist and a supporting character in World at War and the Black Ops titles. The intro cutscene of Die Maschine already features Ludvig’s daughter Samantha.

A major clue that hints at Maxis’ return is this post from the CoD Zombies subreddit:

Cold War Zombies… some more leaks 🙂

The post talks about available perks in the upcoming game as well. However, as far as the available info regarding BOCW goes, the game has discarded every element from the previous zombies’ storyline. Therefore, it might be so that Maxis will return in a different form altogether.

But if this title sees the return of Maxis, it would mean that this new storyline will be in accordance with the Aether storyline.
