Call of Duty: Vanguard Reveals Season 5 Zombies Plans

gamerant.com:

Having launched in September 2021, Call of Duty: Vanguard has successfully maintained its own iteration of the ever popular Zombies game mode and even managed to add a few twists of its own to the established formula. Now, almost a full year after its release, Treyarch is preparing to launch the final content update for Zombies and conclude its horrific, if wacky, narrative.

It shouldn't be overly surprising to hear that, while Call of Duty: Vanguard's baseline campaign and setting sit firmly in WW2, Zombies mode is far more lenient with its setting and storyline. Its final chapter, The Archon, will pit players against the villainous Lord Kortifex the Deathless himself once more, though it looks like this encounter should be significantly more final than the last time.

COD: Vanguard Zombies' Archon chapter was teased just a few days back, along with confirmation that its main level progression will be round-based, rather than objective-based. Now, Treyarch has revealed a huge batch of other information about The Archon, which is coming out on August 24. Fans of the mode can expect a big new level set in the deserts of Egypt, a Main Quest to progress through, and a very important boss fight that the developers promise should be «truly memorable» and on a scale that's not often present in Call of Duty's Zombies mode.

While the expectations for COD: Vanguard Zombies' Egypt map were certainly high, Treyarch seems to have tried making it as exciting and loaded with content as possible. To that end, players will need to complete the Trials of Sacrifice, Resilience, and Mindfulness before facing Kortifex, though they'll be able to leverage significant new upgrades along the way,
