I understand it has been a very long wait for Convergent Chaos, and have read your many comments expressing frustration over not having content for so long, and the events that have transpired in the real world political scene that you wish to see covered. Amidst those are concerns that a more serious video may not be as generally appealing, which is certainly understandable, not everyone may be interested in an actual structured story, and would rather watch the Presidents goof off together like normal, which of course has been the bread and butter of The Presidential Zomboys series.

However, as much as I know you all love the normal gaming videos, I would be remiss to not say that over time they become repetitive and have contributed to burnout, and impacted my enjoyment creating the series. This has been a common theme amongst many President gaming channels, and caused many of the great ones to quit. However, unlike the channels that have quit, I intend to cover all of Call of Duty: Zombies and more with the crew, which is why I began spicing it up with the animated intros, allowing me to creatively expand upon the President’s characters, giving them unique experiences to call back on, rather than solely relying on referencing current events and real world history. Also as a writer at heart, I’ve long since wanted to try something more serious for a change with the series, testing my limits in terms of both editing and storytelling, and Convergent Chaos has been that, as Parallel Peril had only scratched the surface of what I wanted to attempt.

At first we did not plan for it to be the large-scale story that it is now, as our initial planning began before the Trump assassination attempt, however that event was so colossal that we decided to include it, which gave us many new ideas. As such the story picks up where the last episode left off, not leaving much room for any filler content. Many have requested some sort of filler videos, and I did consider it, but I didn’t want to rush something out for the sake of posting something, and simultaneously take time away from the project I did want to work on. Again, I know many are frustrated with this, and although I understand, both Josh and I have poured every ounce of our creativity into this story, and are very proud of what it has become.

I know many of you are clamouring for a release date, and we still very much would like to release it in March, because we cannot wait for you all to see it. Of course it brings me no joy to delay it repeatedly, but at the end of the day we are just 2 people making a wild 5 hour marathon movie, which has been the culmination of both his series and the loose story of mine, and will have lasting impacts on both them. We are dedicated to making it as perfectly as possible, not meet an arbitrary release date. Regardless, I will admit that it has indeed been a long time and in the fast paced world of content today it may seem absurd, but both Josh and I are confident that the end product will be worth it.

As for the continuation of the series afterwards, as stated before, I plan to continue their journey through the CODZ series, however in the politically bleak landscape that we find ourselves in as of now, I would expect the Zomboys to be a little more lighthearted, and focused on their friendship and gaming, than the strife we all wish to find respite from in our lives. Their friendship still has endless opportunities to grow, and I have no shortage of future ideas for them.

Thank you all for reading, and supporting my channel and The Presidential Zomboys, I truly do owe it all to you, and I sincerely hope you enjoy Convergent Chaos. More to follow.

Short update: Convergent Chaos is coming. Total runtime both parts combined currently estimated at ~5 hours. Aiming to release it in February, release date will be announced around a week in advance to allow for the most hardcore of Zomboys fans to plan accordingly for the premiere. This second collaboration has been almost a year in the making, a love letter to the chaotic multiversal story of Call of Duty: Zombies, with our beloved Presidents back in the mix! Expect many plot twists and turns, returning characters, and possibly some characters you've been waiting to finally see for a long time! 😎

Following Convergent Chaos will be the continuation of the Zomboys' playthrough of Call of Duty: Zombies, with the fan favorite map, Call of the Dead!

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well! It's been a while since I last posted an update, ‪@joshuashawYT‬ and I have been hard at work on our new feature-film length crossover, "Convergent Chaos"!! I understand the wait has been a lot longer than normal for a new video, but we are striving to make it worth the wait!! This collaboration will be the culmination of months of story planning, scripting, recording, editing, and all the good stuff that goes into making our favorite Presidents come to life!

We (of course) have no concrete release date, but are working hard to get it out (hopefully) sometime before the end of the year! Again, although it has been a very long wait since the Presidents' last adventure, we aim to completely blow the first crossover out of the water, and it sure will!

Along with that, many of you have been asking when or if I will cover Black Ops 6, and the answer is of course yes. Normal videos will resume after the collab, with The Presidential Zomboys continuing their original schedule of Zombies (finishing Black Ops 1, WAW, BO4 Chaos, IW, Cold War, etc.) but they will also be covering Black Ops 6 very soon after normal videos resume, so it won't get pushed till the end.

I just want to thank you all for the continued support for the Zomboys in general, and the patience in waiting for Convergent Chaos, we are extremely excited to finally have you all view it! Thank you all so much!!

2 days ago marks the one year anniversary of the Parallel Peril collab with ‪@joshuashawYT‬! It was a huge undertaking and was awesome to have our Presidents cross paths to defeat Dark Brandon! A collaboration that will be blown out of the water with Convergent Chaos, which is still in production despite the setbacks with ElevenLabs, rest assured it will not stop us! The Presidential Zomboys' will reconvene once again for a full feature-length multiversal adventure of madness!

But after that the Presidents will continue slaying Zombies in the digital realm with the return to Black Ops 1, World At War, Black Ops 4 Chaos, Cold War, IWZ, etc. and Black Ops 6 (which is surprisingly amazing) and the eventual continuation of their Baldur's Gate playthrough! The election is also very soon which could seriously shake things up for the Presidents depending on who wins, so the future is extremely bright for The Presidential Zomboys!

Losing ElevenLabs is unfortunate and I do believe it's unlikely that they will ease up after the election, but that would surely be something. Regardless, The Presidential Zomboys are far from over, both Josh and I are committed to our series, and I thank you all for the continued patience and support for our favorite senile gamers!

Well, ElevenLabs is officially no more. RIP

Edit: Although this is a massive kick in the teeth, this is not the end. The Presidential Zomboys will prevail. 😎

Hey everyone, giving you all an update since it's been a while since the Convergent Chaos trailer dropped, Josh and I are cooking on this one! In addition to the collab both of us have been working on another project for a while that we're both very excited to show off sometime soon™. Thank you all for being so patient, this special will be sure to blow your socks off ten times harder than Parallel Peril did!

I have also seen there has been quite a bit of interest in continuing the Zomboys' Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough, and I would definitely like to make another episode eventually!!

Once again thank you all for the support, you guys are the best!
