Though there's still a few weeks left until Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's official release, Treyarch have shared little to no information on one of the on-disc Zombies Mode maps - fittingly named "Classified".
Well, a recent leak seems to have lifted the veil entirely. Posted to the Call of Duty Zombies subreddit, the long-winded info dump reveals gameplay details and story spoilers. So if you'd like to go into Black Ops 4's Zombies mode totally clean, then we'd advise that you don't read on - as the leak basically spoils everything Classified has to offer.
The leaker himself has a track-record of being right on the money with his early info. For example; they were able to provide a word-for-word recount of the cinematic "Blood of the Dead" trailer before it was even available publicly. And on top of that, Call of Duty news site, CharlieINTEL reposted the leak. CharlieINTEL are as credible as they come, having never posted an inaccurate leak.
You can read the leaked information on Classified below:
