Treyarch just announced the new \u2018The Archon\u2019 map coming to Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies in Season 5. <\/p>\n

COD Zombies has been suffering on Vanguard due to the new approach Treyarch decided to take this year. Thankfully, their last map, the remake of Shi No Numa, seemed like a return to form for the popular Call of Duty survival mode. <\/p>\n

But will The Archon follow in similar steps? Here is everything we know about the new Vanguard Zombies map.<\/p>\n

The Archon Vanguard Zombies Final Map Release Date <\/h2>\n

The new Zombies \u2018The Archon\u2019 map is coming to Call of Duty Vanguard in Season 5. It is expected to release at the start of Season 5 on August 24<\/strong>, although Treyarch is yet to confirm the exact release date.<\/p>\n

Season 5 of Call of Duty: Vanguard is scheduled to start immediately after the end of Season 4. <\/p>\n

This would match up with Shi No Numa, which was released alongside the Vanguard Season 4 update. <\/p>\n

What Time Is The Archon Coming to Vanguard?<\/h3>\n
The Archon is expected to release at 9am PST\/12pm EST\/5pm BST.<\/strong> This is based on the release times of previous Call of Duty updates.<\/p>\n

Players were not happy with Vanguard Zombies at first because of its departure from the traditional COD Zombies formula. It completely eliminated the round-based format and threw out some of the most iconic mechanics in COD Zombies. <\/p>\n
Thankfully, Treyarch listened and introduced its first round-based Vanguard Zombies map in Season 4 with a reimagining of Shi No Numa. The Archon will be only the second round-based Zombies map in Vanguard. <\/p>\n
Is \u2018The Archon\u2019 the Final Vanguard Zombies Map? <\/h2>\n
Yes, Treyarch has confirmed that The Archon will be the final COD Zombies map coming to Vanguard. <\/strong><\/p>\n
In their official Twitter announcement, Treyarch also hinted at the end of the Korifex storyline with a phrase stating, \u201cKorifex must die.\u201d The Korifex storyline originally started with Vanguard. <\/p>\n

Players should expect The Archon to have a brand-new Easter Egg to uncover, a new Wonder Weapon to build, and an epic conclusion to the Vanguard storyline. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
