I'm still around, still playing Zombies all the time, and loving it. Recent lore developments on Astra got me in my feels. Shout out to Tac, Slade, and everyone here who paved the way for this insane little world we've all enjoyed.
Amidst the dark and eerie night
A choice to make – to run or fight?
The undead horde approaches fast
Armed with weapons, till the very last
In Call of Duty: World at War - Zombies
The battle for survival never ceases
A test of skill, courage and wits
As waves of zombies just never quits
Blood-soaked grounds and a burning sky
The stakes are high, the danger nigh
But in this game, we rise above
To conquer the undead with brute, tough love
With finger on the trigger and heart in hand
We face the terror, and take a stand
For in this game, we live or die
With Call of Duty: World at War - Zombies, we must survive.
and later released worldwide on December 14, 2011.
The game features the same gameplay mechanics as its predecessor, with players fighting off waves of zombies as they try to survive for as long as possible. The game also includes a new storyline set in a Cold War-era Pentagon, with the characters from the original Zombies mode returning to fight off the undead.
The game allows for up to four players to play together via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and also includes a single-player mode with a new leaderboard system to track high scores.
Call of Duty: Black Ops – Zombies received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising the game's addictive gameplay and multiplayer functionality, but criticizing the graphics and lack of content compared to the console versions of the game. Despite this, the game was a commercial success, with over a million downloads in its first week of release.
The next God of War title had been rumored earlier this year, and it now stands revealed as God of War Laufey, a spin-off that focuses on Kratos' late wife, Faye. While the initial trailer apparently disclosed when Laufey takes place, the developers behind the game have offered more light about how the upcoming title fits in with Kratos' adventures.
Faye's story in the afterlife of the gods begins almost immediately after Kratos and their child, Atreus, laid her to rest in the 2018 God of War. During an interview with IGN, Santa Monica Studio creative director Cory Barlog appeared to suggest that the 2018 game and Laufey will unfold simultaneously.
"[Faye] was omnipresent, but visually not represented. In 2018 she was a feeling; she was a phantom and a specter, but one whose tendrils stretched out through the entirety of the narrative, and it gave her this interesting sense of power inside of it. It was like, man, it would be so interesting to see who she was before, but it also would be interesting to see how things continue forward."

As noted in the clip posted by the X user above, Kratos strongly believed that Faye was guiding him from beyond the grave in God of War. It seems likely that Laufey will depict Faye attempting to reach her husband despite the vast metaphysical distance between them.
In the meantime, Faye will have her own problems to deal with in the afterlife. But she's got two new companions: a living ribbon named Rue and a talking gelatinous cube called Phranque, who was our pick for the breakout character of State of Play.
Sony Santa Monica has promised that there will be more Kratos stories in the future beyond Laufey. In the meantime, a remake of the original God of War trilogy is currently in development. A God of War live-action TV series is currently in production for Prime Video.
God of War Laufey will be released on PlayStation 5, but it doesn't currently have a release date.
