Call of Duty's infamous Zombie Royale is set to return to Warzone 2 with a slew of innovations as part of The Haunting event. Once the update is here, Warzone 2 will see a surge of new content as a range of brand-new limited-time modes (LTMs) for the Haunting Event will follow its release. With that, innumerable new crossovers will also grace the game, including popular spooky characters like Skeletor, Alucard, and more.

Our article will explain how players can play the Zombie Royale game mode in Warzone 2's The Haunting event and provide all necessary auxiliary information attached to the mode and its release.


Zombie Royale in Warzone 2 explained

A brand new rendition of the Zombie Royale mode is slated to enter Warzone 2. This time, it looks even spookier and has a strong throwback element to help OG players reminisce about the previous iterations of Zombie Royale.

Players will find the dead walking the earth and taking over the streets of both Al Mazrah and Vondel. Each map will encompass its own Zombie Royale mode and provide a different experience for players.

This time around, the Gulag will be shut down, and that is where things get interesting. Players eliminated during their playtime in Zombie Royale will be reincarnated as zombies within the match. These vessels of undead will be granted several powers to aid them in completing their objective, i.e., to disrupt the gameplay of all remaining players and tear apart the remaining Operators.

Players who turn into zombies will have a chance to collect special syringes. These will help reincarnate them into their human Operator form and bring them back from the dead to help their squads secure victory. Finally, the squad that fends off all undead and living enemies will be crowned the match winner.
