Zombies took shape by the end of World at War, ending off with the perfect formula for future games after building a stable foundation. The following Shi No Numa introduced the fan-favorite foursome, Richtofen, Nicholai, Takeo, and Dempsey, while Der Riese threw in Pack-a-Punch, the machine that lets you slide your gun in for 5,000 points in exchange for a better, enhanced version. Nacht introduced the staple mystery box, bear, barricades, buyable doors, and blockades as well as wall guns, but Verrückt added perks and traps.

Enter Verrückt, the tight-knit asylum that introduced the power mechanic and many other staples. Where could they go from there? The idea was simple, and they drew from plenty of other Zombie games, especially the flash game Last Stand, but they had to expand it to keep players invested. That was the birth of Zombies: Nacht Der Untoten, a Frankenstein map pulling parts from the campaign's Hard Landing and multiplayer level Airfield.

Low and behold, they loved it too - bragging to each other about what new high round they'd reached in the cramped, gloomy corridors of Nacht. Lamia pushed for the mode anyway, and gave Activision excecutives access to the mode. We were determined to make a very different Call of Duty, leaning into the darkness of war." We wanted World at War to be a turning point in the franchise. He loved it, but one of the main concerns was that it didn't fit the more serious tone of the franchise, as Lamia stated, "We were still struggling to find our voice. But rather than cancelling it, Treyarch head Mark Lamia gave the mode a go himself.
