Enter the Dark Aether Rift and uncover the aether secrets that have been lost for generations in Modern Warfare Zombies.
The first season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) introduces a brand-new act to the story missions of Modern Warfare Zombies – Contact. In this new act, players will continue to explore the ties between the current MWZ story and the events 40 years prior, unfolding through the Zombies modes of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. After completing the Defeat Zakhaev mission at the end of Act 3 – Confrontation, players will receive a small cutscene showing a dark aether portal appearing, attempting to draw Dr. Jansen into the aether, before the ghostly image of a girl in a white dress descends from the portal, approaches Dr. Jansen, then disappears just as quickly as the apparition appeared.
With such a cliffhanger ending, (and several references/easter eggs in the cutscene for veterans of the series) fans of the COD: Zombies series will be excited to further explore the story of Modern Warfare Zombies with the fourth act. While there is currently only one story mission available in Act 4, players will be able to interact even further with the Dark Aether portal after completing the story mission, gaining access to additional challenges and rewards. dditionally, players can expect additional MWZ story missions in Act 4 throughout the year with each play season.
