Call of Duty Dev on Why Zombies Mode Is Not a Standalone Game

October 15, 2015 by Michael Fossbakk

It’s all about variety.

Call of Duty isn’t getting a standalone Zombies game anytime soon, according to Call of Duty campaign and Zombies director Jason Blundell.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Blundell said that the developer has “to cater to a lot of people” and many players of Call of Duty like the variety offered by the different modes in a standard Call of Duty game.

"Sometimes you want to watch a movie and want to be engaged narratively on a concept," he said. "And then we have multiplayer–sometimes you just want to run around and have that high-engagement experience. And sometimes you want to kill the undead–sometimes you want to play Zombies.

"We see by the numbers and how people engage with the game as a whole, people change that feeling. They'll move between the different modes."

In the franchise’s next iteration, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, players will be able to more seamlessly go from one game mode to another. When playing with a party of people, moving from game mode to game mode will retain the entire party, removing the hassle of reforming the party every time you want to change modes.

"We've made a unified .exe for the first time, which means all three modes run from the same place," Blundell said.

"So when you party up, you can move between each one. There's no unloading the .exe. In previous games you'd see it go to black and then it would come back up again. You can seamlessly move because now all three are online."

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will be released on Nov. 6, 2015 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, however, will not contain the game’s story mode.
