For nearly three decades, Call of Duty has dominated the video game landscape, largely thanks to the phenomenal success of its Zombies mode. What started as a bonus feature in 2008’s Call of Duty: World at War has since blossomed into a beloved staple, appearing in 13 titles, including the highly anticipated Black Ops 7, set to release this November. To honor this enduring legacy, Treyarch is releasing a dedicated hardcover art book, Call of Duty Zombies: The Art of Treyarch.
This impressive 256-page hardcover offers an unprecedented look into the origins and evolution of the fan-favorite mode. It’s packed with exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews with the development team, never-before-seen artwork from the Call of Duty vaults, and in-depth intel on the creative process. Written by James Asmus, known for his work in books, comics, video games, and television, this book promises to be a treasure for any fan. The book launches on June 16, 2026, and is available for preorder at $50.
