New information has been revealed lately about the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies Storyline, which spreads across three different chapters featuring four characters reffered to as Invictus. This all comes out from a leak provided by the same guy that leaked the Black Ops 4 multiplayer maps a few days ago so you should take everything mentioned below with a grain of salt.
The leak starts of with IX. We are reporting the text exactly as the leaker revealed it so that you can judge yourself if it sounds credible or not. It suggests that all four characters start to hear voices that guide them to a cave. There, they drink from the cauldron providing them with a dream of the past. An ancient order with the power to unleash evil on the world. It is here where our four characters “invictus” must escape the dream with the knowledge of the ancient order before they are destroyed. In the EE you must not only escape the dream but learn about the artifact and discover where it could be in the modern day (1912).
In Voyage of Despair, Invictus learns the artifact is on board the Titanic. They travel to the Titanic to retrieve the artifact and a bandit confronts them. He activates the artifact turning everyone on board into zombies. In the EE invictus must battle through waves of Zombies on board the Titanic and secure the artifact from the now zombified version of the bandit. At the end of the EE invictus secures the Artifact only to learn that there are copies that must also be tracked down and destroyed before it’s too late.
Moving on to Blood of the Dead Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies Storyline. Here the leak gets really interesting. Here’s the full background: Intro cutscene is the same as the trailer played at the reveal event. Very little context is offered from the start. As you progress through the easter egg you discover that the primus group has not yet been to Gorod Krovi or Revelations and you are post Zetsubou no shima. It is very similar to the comics. However, halfway through the easter egg Richtofen’s voice can be heard in each of the characters heads (breaking from the comics). This is the Richtofen from post revelations. He is giving the crew explicit instructions NOT to proceed to Gorod Krovi and instead do everything in their power to break the cycle.
At the end of the EE after collecting the Blood and confronting Pre-Shadows of evil Richtofen, Nikolai informs primis “A chain of events must be set in motion” and notify Shadows Richtofen of the location of the summoning key within Morg city creating a “Shakespeare Paradox”. Primis then warps through a rift to the moment after Shadows Richtofen leaves and awakens victis as Primis Richtofen states “The paradox must be resolved”. Primis then leaves MOTD through a rift leaving you to play as Victis with perkaholic equipped.
Let us know if you think that this leak is merely a speculation based on what the reveal trailers has shown us or if this could be the legit Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies Storyline.
