After months of rumors and speculation, Zombies Mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops II has been officially revealed. As expected, a major update to Zombies content in this game is that there is a new campaign mode:

Via IGN: "Titled Tranzit, this tosses you and up to three of your friends into the biggest world the team at Treyarch has ever created for Zombies. Your goal in Tranzit is simple: kill all the undead that you come across and leave a trail of bodies in your wake. You and your team jump between a number of locales along the way, doing what appears to be defensive stands and clearing them out before moving on to the next place. However, getting from place to place isn't a simple loading screen, but instead requires you to get there by foot or by bus."

The classic survival mode will be making a return and there are is also a competitive 8-player versus mode named Grief: "Internally the team at Treyarch likes to refer to Grief as "4z4," because unlike traditional competitive games both sides have to deal with a third party that wants their brains -- the Zombies. In Grief, your only goal is to have your team outlive the other, but, unlike every other Call of Duty mode you've ever played, you can't shoot other players. Instead you have to "grief" them and get the zombies to do the work for you."

And if that wasn't enough, Treyarch is letting players make custom Zombies multiplayer games, which should allow the game mode to take on a whole new life of its own. Check out the trailer, poster, and first screenshots below, and keep an eye out for more details between now and the game's release on November 13th.
