Our main villain is Oberführer Von List, commander of the SS battalion Die Wahrheit. So, we have new characters in a different setting than in Black Ops Cold War Zombies, but the same level of high stakes with global implications. Only a small band of Allied Special Forces soldiers who have forged a similar bond with their own Dark Aether entities stand in his way. The dimensional breach activates long-dormant artifacts collected by the Nazis, granting SS commander Wolfram Von List an opportunity to bond with a lord of the Dark Aether and single-handedly win WWII for the Third Reich. In fact, the cyclotron incident at Endstation is what sparks the events in Vanguard Zombies. We’ll get a better sense of what was happening in the Dark Aether before the events at Projekt Endstation changed everything. Vanguard Zombies reveals that entities from the Dark Aether dimension had contact with humans, going back centuries.
How does Vanguard Zombies progress the Dark Aether storyline?
