A couple of months ago, we learned that Raven Software lead designer Michael Gummelt had worked on a live service Call Of Duty zombies game before it got cancelled. Details were practically non-existent at the time, but YouTuber Glitching Queen recently interviewed Gummelt about what the game could’ve become. Fun surprises: It would’ve been a free-to-play live service game featuring coliseum battles. Unsurprises: microtransactions, seasons, general background shenanigans between Treyarch and Raven.

It’s fascinating to hear about the potential for a free-to-play Call of Duty zombies game with coliseum battles. The combination of microtransactions and seasons seems to be a common trend in live service games nowadays. I wonder how the dynamic between Treyarch and Raven would have played out in this cancelled project. The concept of a Mad Max-style gladiator arena sounds like it could have added an interesting twist to the traditional zombies gameplay. It’s a shame the game never saw the light of day, but it’s always intriguing to learn about what could have been.
