Prebrief

“Welcome to Eidskallen – Sorry about the reception committee.” — The Twins

The time loop is broken, and following the Dark Heart’s defeat in Paradox Junction, the Twins transport the crew to a new destination: Eidskallen, a Norse fishing village on a blustery, windswept coast that has been inhabited since the late Bronze Age. Historians have noted that the site has been occupied through the centuries, all the way to the age of Vikings, and into modern times. Indeed, evidence of medieval Norse structures can be found across the island, from burial mounds, a feasting hall, and a strange stave church. All overlooked by an ominous lighthouse, still shining its light into the gloom.

The entire settlement has been ripped from reality, casting the Group 935 research base and their hulking mechanical machinations into the Dark Aether.

“… this place… is mein legacy.”

Survivors look up as a towering horned creature with glowing blue eyes rises from a stormy mountain beneath swirling clouds.

Deploy to the frozen birthplace of nuclear fire and explore the ancient village that Group 935 transformed into a research base hiding sinister secrets.

Note: It’s worth stating there’s a wide variety of secrets we haven’t divulged in any of the Black Ops 7 Zombies Blogs. Expect additional surprises when you start to explore the terrifying, otherworldly beauty of the Dark Aether…
