Overview

The storyedit The story

Nazi Zombies is Sledgehammer Games’ survival-horror continuity, built for Call of Duty: WWII and pitched as a deliberately darker, grislier take on the mode. It follows a small resistance team recovering art and artefacts stolen by the Third Reich, opposing SS officer Doktor Peter Straub as he raises an undead army from the war’s own strain of Element 115.

The Final Reich and after

The story opens in the Bavarian town of Mittelburg on The Final Reich, then continues across The Darkest Shore, The Shadowed Throne, The Tortured Path and The Frozen Dawn. A voice cast including David Tennant, Ving Rhames, Katheryn Winnick and Élodie Yung plays the crew, with Udo Kier as Straub. Tonally it sits closest to a horror film, favouring dread and gore over the wink of the Treyarch and Infinity Ward modes.
