Secrets have long been a part of the Call of Duty Zombies formula. But while players have loved hunting for Easter eggs to reveal new bits of lore, according to Black Ops Cold War developer Treyarch, very few players find these secrets in-game. So for its latest take on zombies, Treyarch has decided to make the secrets easier to find.
In an interview with IGN India, Corky Lehmkuhl, the Studio Creative Director at Treyarch, said that even though “so much development time goes into” easter eggs, less than two percent of players were finding and unlocking the secrets that the studio had hidden in its various zombie levels. So Treyarch decided that in Cold War’s Season 2 it would make Easter eggs more “accessible” to allow more players to experience all of the new zombies mode.

The change doesn’t mean no secrets; Lehmkuhl said, “There are some side Easter Eggs that are still somewhat obscure and you’ll have to find, but for the main quest we just wanted more players to experience it.”
Meanwhile, Call of Duty zombies continues to grow. The recently-added Outbreak, the newest CoD mode starring the undead, is a massive mode featuring open-world maps, interconnected areas, and various objectives. And I expect more zombies and Easter eggs will appear in future seasons of Call of Duty.
