Call of Duty: Warzoneis getting a big update whenModern WarfareSeason 6 arrives, but the contents of Treyarch’s first update to the mode may have just been revealed. In aWarzonepost on the Activision blog, a member of Treyarch’s most popular Zombies crew can be seen in the header image.
WhileWarzonewill soon makeNikolai from theModern Warfareseries playable, another Nikolai may be joining the roster of playable characters. Nikolai Belinski appears to be seen within the center of the image, and while only the character’s back can be seen, the outfit is unmistakable. With the classic Russian tanker hat and some extremely similar body armor, it is hard to not see this character entering the subway as the younger version of Nikolai from the Primis crew.

This could always be a troll on the part of Activision, however, as it could just be an alternate costume forModern Warfare’s Nikolai when he arrives alongsideWarzone’s new subway tunnels. After all, the outfit is not exact, with the green short under the character’s body armor differing from the grey one usually worn by the protagonist. Still, on first glance, it is hard not to think that the figure in the screenshot is Primis Nikolai.
This news comes at an interesting time, asanother leak forWarzoneZombiesrecently came in the form of audio files. With Zombies possibly set to enter the massiveWarzonemap, now would be an excellent time to introduce operators perfect for slaying the undead horde. Nikolai would be one of the most requested characters to join the lineup, likely only behind Richtofen and Dempsey, so it makes plenty of sense for him to appear inWarzonesoon.
As for traditionalCall of Duty: Zombies, Treyarch will be returning to the mode inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. While the teaser for the next take on the mode initially looked a bit different, with a player fumbling through the darkness holding only an M1911 and a flashlight, this is likely only the journey to turn the power on. After the switch is flipped, many of theclassic Zombies elements hidden throughout the teaserwill likely come into play.
With an officialmap released forWarzone’s subway tunnelsand a rumored Zombie Royale mode on the way,Warzonefans are certainly being treated well by Activision and theCall of Dutyteams. If this rumor turns out to be true, Zombies fans may also be getting an extra surprise very soon.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
