When it comes to gameplay, Vanguard Zombies might not be as appealing as the previous games, but it delivers a rich story for the lore lovers. Zombies have always had a complicated and interesting storyline with all the universes and doppelgängers. The new Dark Aether story, first introduced in Black Ops Cold War, now continues in Vanguard, and we get to see more of it with the release of Shi No Numa. There are 18 new radio Intel scattered around the map, allowing you to learn more about the story and characters in the Dark Aether storyline. Interestingly, one of the radios mentions Alistair Rhodes, a demonologist who is part of the Chaos story, which was introduced in Black Ops 4. While it is not confirmed, the new Intel directly mentions Alistair and his “sentinel artifacts.” We are still far from receiving the next installment of Black Ops, which is now scheduled for 2024. Until then, here are the radios to keep you busy with the Dark Aether story in Vanguard Zombies.
