The newest installment of theCall of Dutyseries,Modern Warfare 3, has officially launched worldwide. Now that everyone can play the highly-anticipated Zombies mode, some wonder if the mode is exclusive to the game itself.
Unfortunately,if you don’t ownModern Warfare 3, you’re able to’t play the new Zombies mode. Still, you can play the other versions of Zombies if you own otherCall of Dutytitles.

Zombieshas been a feature ofCall of Dutysince its origins in 2009 inWorld at War. While the type only appeared in someCall of Dutytitles (mainly theBlack Opsseries), it’s been a staple of the series since. In the mode, you, alongside your friends, will survive wave after wave of zombies. With the help of several power-ups and a wide arsenal of guns, it’s up to you to see it through to safety.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3‘s Zombies mode, calledMWZ, diverges from the traditional round-based gameplay for a more open-world extraction style. The PvE mode, similar toModern Warfare 2‘sDMZ, takes place on Urzikstan and can be used for either free-play or Operation Deadbolt story missions. This is the firstModern Warfaretitle to include Zombies, not includingAdvanced WarfareandInfinite Warfare.

As mentioned previously, you’re able to’t playModern Warfare 3‘s Zombies if you don’t have the game. Regardless, the latest version to include Zombies was 2021’sVanguard, so if you own that title, you can play their version of the mode there.
