I've thought for the longest time that the Zombies branch of Call of Duty should become standalone and seasonal in delivery. It just has that sort of charm and longevity about it, and a rich universe that maybe started out as a bit of a joke about "heh, Nazi zombies, lol" on a whiteboard inside Treyarch HQ, but has since gone on to become a hit in its own right, and now Activision has read my thoughts and Zombies is indeed going seasonal, kicking off with Season One: Firebase Z.

Dropping for all players on all platforms from February 4, Firebase Z takes players to Vietnam and features new outlandish weapons, bigger, scarier monsters, larger maps and lots of gore. Here's some more information ahead of the trailer embed.

Following the events of "Die Maschine," Requiem's next mission brings them deep into the jungles of Vietnam. Under the direction of Grigori Weaver, the team must uncover the secrets of Outpost 25 and face the threat that "lives" within to save Samantha Maxis.
