Due for release on 13th November, Craig talks about revamping the zombies in a special trailer on the Call of Duty YouTube Channel.

The next generation of Zombies offers new story, new characters, and new ways to play Call of Duty.

Craig Houston is a Scottish writer, artist and musician with over 25 years experience in the video games and comic book industries, whose early credits include writing later issues of Warheads at Marvel UK in the early 1990s.
