FORSAKEN ENDING EXPLAINED: ALL SECRETS & EASTER EGGS (Cold War Zombies Ending Cutscene Explained)

[@MrDalekJD]

A massive shoutout and credit to u/SlasherNerd over on the CODZombies Subreddit for the original theory of the link to Eddie's son discussed in this video, you can check out his theory in full here & I really encourage you to do, he realised points even I didn't! www.reddit.com/r/CODZombies/comments/q3kffv/the_directors_son_is_spoiler/?

[@GP1583]

the director is richtofen!?!?! how much have i missed damn it????

[@FHAS3R]

@Nicholas altamirano Eddie is just a kid name for Edward, aka Edward Richthofen.

[@adamgill9730]

The way he looks at the camera, makes him look like ultimus Richthofen so that makes him evil

[@Viborgdk]

Also, keep in mind, Janus was the God with two faces. The pictures you posted in the video all show the two faces, and for Western mythology, he is often seen as the father of having good and evil inside you. You can think of Janus as the angel and devil sitting on either shoulder arguing of what choice to make. It's almost hinted at him knowing about the previous reality, and if he is aware of the previous timeline of the previous Either Story, Project Janus might very well be a way to combine the two realities again. And if he is indeed aware of both realities, then he would literally be Janus, and that would make him more dangerous then anything from the Either could ever be! Gonna be interesting to see where they take the story next.

[@minimuca17]

I absolutely love this theory

[@TheGoldeneye9]

I'm glad someone else other than myself has said this. Everytime Dalek has brought up Janus i keep posting a comment on how he's know as the two-faced god etc. So thank you for also being on the same wavelength as myself and i'm sure many others :')

[@Viborgdk]

@@TheGoldeneye9 Indeed! There is even a very very rare medical condition for cats called Janus cats where the cat literally has two faces and most often three eyes. Seems strange though, though more people knew about the fact that he has two faces, that he is not to be trusted, as just because you can see one face, doesn't mean you know what his true face actually is saying as they are literally opposite one another.

[@Antonio-ys5zd]

As another add on to your theory do you think it is possible that this Richtofen we see in the cutscene is just the Richtofen that died to make Eddie? To me that would make sense seeing as how aging and his environment would essentially corrupt him thus he would no longer be innocent Eddie but revert to an Evil Richtofen

Two theories, one the area shown is where the inversion rockets hit causing an outbreak zone that he will use to gain access to the dark aether, for either his own purposes or (this is a stretch) to free Samatha (he does say he wants to meet an old friend, could be referring to Sam). Theory two is that if this is the Mariana Trench, one thing we have been shown is that Apothicans Ancients dwell deep down below so possibly one has jump the gap using the inversion rockets and he wants to use/study it.

If he named his son Samuel, then could that be a reference to Stuhlinger, naming him after one of his old friends. I mean all versions of the original characters had shared memories of their other selves, perhaps he named him after Samuel to honor his sacrifice in closing the multiverse.

[@nikoskn1252]

Man I just really wished we had a face to face talk with Sam and Eddie! Oh well this is very interesting to say the least! I think I have finally figured out Eddie's personality and where he is coming from. From what I have gathered he is a member of a group that's probably going to be Kraft's Cult, which we are going to explore in Vanguard! He had a family, wife and son, named Samuel either after Stulinger or Samantha, and he lost them in a fire which Samantha and Weaver didn't prevent! With nothing to lose he has focused on this group and their twisted goals. It also explains why he got a kick out of torturing Samantha. However I feel that he still somewhat cares for her since she is the only one that he has left!So I am assuming that the next treyarch game will be about Eddie being split between the group that he is a member of and his friendship with Samantha. Don't tell me though that this was the end for Sam. I literally felt nothing when she 'sacrificed' herself. I said this before this game wasn't enough for something like that.

It may connect broken arrow into this new timeline. Peck leading research and coming to a similar understanding that both Eddie and Maxis on the dark aethers limitations. If Eddie has any recollection of his past lives he would know about the cycle. Knowing exactly when the return they will return and what could be done to perpetuate the cycle allowing it to evolve.

(And why not use an powerful emotion unstable version of herself as an super weapon that get shome hyper training in the dark ather?)

[@futureasumiyuki9578]

Im not sure if someone has already theorized this but that Graffiti in the No one Escapes alive part of the Easter egg i believe is Samantha after an extended amount of time in the Dark Aether, It would explain why The forsaken was saying that this is what will happen if they defeat him so he could be foreshadowing the future events that could lead to Samantha taking his place as the high elder god of the Dark Aether and having her mind twisted to kinda follow the same motives that Zykov did. If the theory that peck wants to use the Warheads that landed in the pacifistic are true and the requiem strike team are there as well. Then if he frees them before using the warheads to enter a breach to the Dark Aether he could then enter it and would be in surprise as to see that Samantha would have taken the role that the forsaken had originally sat in. I know there are a lot of Holes in this theory and that it could be fleshed out much more but i just wanted to get the idea out there and maybe people can maybe fill the holes that might still be left with this theory.

[@StoltzyProductions]

Came back to this after the Liberty Falls trailer came out... We may actually get to see Richthofen actually try to rebuild his family

[@billybyrns2557]

I believe Project Janus is exactly what it sounds like, from the mythos; *Endings.* Eddie, knowing the entirety of Requiem (and us) wants to save Sam, has them all locked away. Because, the only way they could do that, is by re-opening the connection between their world and the Dark Aether. He remembers everything, and probably knows quite a bit from having spent time around the Primis crew, while they were at the house (as we can see that; but they have foggy memories of their own time spent in Agartha, however- from Element 115/Aetherium exposure). And so, because he knows there is no safe way to rescue Sam without causing more outbreaks- he decides to call it there. *For now.* However, we see Dr. Peck who knows of the Inversion Warheads sent into the Pacific; it is likely him, who will attempt to rescue Sam for saving his life- and, everyone else's. Eddie doesn't want anyone else to suffer under the curse of Zombies; even at the cost of his only childhood friend. Clearly he was okay with harming her, both physically and emotionally- but as we know, very reluctant to do so. My only wish is that this Richtofen wouldn't just give up on Sam, and work with Peck to save her in the next one. It's also very, *very* plausible that Richtofen may have mentioned the Victis crew to Dr. Peck; and so we very well may get Chronicles 2 in Cold War in the next year or two, focusing on Dr. Peck utilizing them in the Dark Aether in order to rescue Sam.

[@billybyrns2557]

I'm also really hoping we get to see Richtofen as a playable character, who may decide that "enough is enough," and that "if you're going to save Sam, then I'll help do it my damn self".

I felt like they should have used the song that’s life for the end scene

Thats what all the people say.

Fun thing is I was also thinking that the director looked an awful lot like Richtofen but I wasnt sure as i didn't get a proper look at the desk. Now im glad to see I was correct about him being related to him.

I think the island at the end peck is pointing to is alcatraz or something similar because it's a alcatraz is a prison and maybe our characters are put there and also the blood of the dead music is playing.

picture on the left of Richtofen's desk is him emerging from the cockpit of a fighter jet

If you listen closely right before we go into the 1st cutscene, you hear the revelations music and the shadow man escapes from the summoning key, so now maybe then the forsaken will escape

I’m gonna take a wild guess and say the dark aether storyline is going to expand moreso into cod mobile… maybe there will be another bo game in a few years, but I’m betting more on mobile… also, I wouldn’t be surprised if the final dlc Easter egg for vanguard time skips either to Richthofen becoming director, or even seeing what peck was planning…
