It’s a revamped take on Zombie Royale

A player fends off a zombie in Warzone’s limited-time Rebirth Of The Dead mode.

Warzone Season 4 Reloaded drops at 5:00pm BST (that’s 12:00pm EDT and 9:00am PDT for those of you in the US), which brings with it some new bits like: an assault rifle, Portable Redeploy Balloons, Nitro Boosts for SUVs, and Terminator Bundles in the store. The main event is Rebirth Of The Dead, a zombified Mini Royale where you drop in as a team of four and fend off not only other players, but players who’ve succumbed to the sweet embrace of death.

Much likeZombie Royalebefore it, players in zombie-form gain abilities like a charge jump that lets you leap massive distances, disorienting gas grenades, and EMP blasts that’ll disable enemy electronics. And just like before, eliminating players as a zombie nets you syringes which you’ll need to come back to life.

It’s been yonks since I played Warzone, let alone Zombie Royale, but I remember having a blast with it back in the day. And the changes here sound like they should make matches more chaotic and grant better opportunities for zombies to nab those syringes. In the grand scheme of things, they’re not massive tweaks, but they seem enough to keep the pace of Rebirth Of The Dead ticking along nicely.
