Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies Experience Won’t Feature Main ‘Dark Aether’ Quest At Launch

Zombies will be playable in-game when Call of Duty: Vanguard launches Friday, but don’t expect to continue the Dark Aether narrative until after launch. 

That’s because Zombies’ Main Quest won’t be available in Vanguard at launch, as first reported by IGN. More specifically, it seems like the Main Quest won’t be in full swing until after Vanguard’s Season One, which begins on December 2.

“Starting on December 2, new Zombies content and features will begin to roll out in Vanguard, including a new Objective, additional Covenants, new weapons, Zombies Season Challenges, holiday-themed updates, and more,” a new blog postTreyarch says. “Players will also encounter some other surprise elements later in Season One that will set the stage for our upcoming Main Quest. This Main Quest will be tied to the arrival of an unexpected ally after Season One, which will further expand the narrative of the Dark Aether, and reveal more details about the characters and entities that players will have encountered thus far.” 

As you can see, there are a couple of key phrases that seem to indicate the Main Quest won’t go live in-game until after Season One: “…later in Season One that will set the stage for our upcoming Main Quest” and “This Main Quest will be tied to the arrival of an unexpected ally after Season One.” If that’s the case, the Main Quest might not be in Vanguard’s Zombies until late December or even early 2022. 

Call of Duty’s previous seasons were about 2 months long. Season One starts December 2. Season One will end February 2019. The future will be revealed only as time goes by. However, while you won’t be expanding the ongoing Dark Aether storyline in Vanguard when it launches on November 5, the classic wave-based Zombies mode will still be waiting for you on day one.
