Call of Duty has swayed millions of fans worldwide with the latest title, Modern Warfare II. Ever since its awaited debut in 2022, Activision’s action blockbuster has turned out to be a record-breaking success. With that being said, it only makes sense for the makers to keep churning out more content in order to keep the player base hooked for an extended period of time. So why not bring a celebrated mode made famous by another iconic saga in Black Ops?
Yes, we are talking about a fan-favorite Zombies mode that has maintained its solid popularity from the time when it was originally introduced. Mostly, players have witnessed it in the Black Ops Cold War game from Treyarch. Now, it looks like this popular mode might be returning soon to the action series, based on recent discoveries.

Outbreak was first introduced in 2020’s Black Ops Cold War as a different mode than those having round-based gameplay. One can call it a slightly open-world experience offering a casual format and fun-filled ride. Since its reveal nearly three years ago, it has ended up gaining immense love from fans who really liked playing it.
Now, it looks like Outbreak is set to return to the Call of Duty franchise once again. At least, that’s what appears to be the case from a recent job listing by Treyarch Studios. Media outlet CharlieIntel recently shared a tweet while informing about a job opening requiring someone who can be the ‘Senior Level Designer’ for producing content on Outbreak. Have a look at the tweet below:

Going on the main job listing link itself, one can find out that Treyarch is hiring more people to work on Zombies-related content. But coming back to Outbreak, then it may be in the works for a comeback sooner than later. It might eventually return with next year’s untitled installment from Treyarch. However, this is just speculation as of now. Call of Duty fans will need to wait for an official announcement from the developer regarding the plans for Zombies in the action series.
