INTRODUCING A NEW ERA OF BLACK OPS

Call of Duty®: Black Ops 3 takes place in a dark, gritty future where a new breed of Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines are blurred between our own humanity and the cutting-edge military robotics that define the future of combat.

A CALL OF DUTY CAMPAIGN UNLIKE ANYTHING BEFORE IT

Treyarch elevates the Call of Duty social gaming experience by delivering a campaign that is designed for four-player co-op and re-playability. Players encounter all the epic cinematic gameplay moments that Call of Duty is known for, as well as new open-area arena-style gameplay elements designed to allow players to approach the game with a different strategy each time they play.

And now, every player is completely customizable: from weapons and loadouts, to abilities and outfits, all with full progression systems and a personalized armory to show off accomplishments, providing a constantly-evolving campaign experience.

PREPARE FOR A LEVELED-UP MULTIPLAYER

With Black Ops 3, Treyarch premieres a new momentum-based chained-movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, wall runs, and mantling abilities in a multitude of combinations, all while maintaining complete control over your weapon at all times. Maps are designed from the ground-up for the new movement system, allowing players to be successful with traditional movement, as well as advanced tactics and maneuvers.

MULTIPLAYER

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Multiplayer redefines how Call of Duty is played, with the franchise’s deepest, most rewarding and most engaging experience to date, with a new chain-based fluid movement system, as well as new ways to rank up, customize, and gear up for battle.

Specialist Overview

Black Ops 3 multiplayer introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to choose from a number of elite black operations soldiers – each with their own look, personality, and voice – and then rank them up and master each of their battle-hardened weapons and special abilities. With this addition to Global and Weapons XP progressions systems, Black Ops III multiplayer gives players three different ways to rank up.

RUIN

Weapon: Gravity Spikes – Spikes that create an explosive shockwave when slammed to the ground.

Ability: Overdrive – Cybernetic leg augmentation that enables a temporary burst of speed.

SERAPH

Weapon: Annihilator – Massive high-caliber revolver that fires devastating penetration rounds.

Ability: Combat Focus – While active, all score earned will trigger a bonus multiplier towards Scorestreaks.

Nomad

Weapon: H.I.V.E – Deploys pod traps which release a deadly swarm of nano drones when triggered.

Ability: Rejack – Recover from the position of your death with an injection of nanoparticle serum.

Prophet

Weapon: Tempest – Charge-shot weapon that fires an arc of electricity, shocking targets and chaining to all nearby enemies.

Ability: Glitch – Flash back to a previous position with this system mod that hacks the battlefield simulation grid.

OUTRIDER

Weapon: Sparrow – Compound bow that fires bolts with increasing force the longer it is drawn and explodes enemies on impact.

Ability: Vision Pulse – Sonic pulse that pings the surrounding area and reveals enemies within range.

Reaper

Weapon: Scythe – Arm-integrated quad-barrel mini-gun.

Ability: Psychosis – Infiltrate enemy DNI systems to simulate three instanced decoy Reapers.

Spectre

Weapon: Ripper – Spectre deploys mono-edged twin blades before gracefully dissecting victims with lethal, surgical precision.

Ability: Active Camo – Advanced meta-materials rapidly change their properties, guiding photons over their surfaces instead of reflecting them, rendering Spectre temporarily invisible.

Battery

Weapon: War Machine – This grenade launcher fires time-fused bouncing frag grenades which explode on contact with an enemy.

Ability: Kinetic Armor – Charged electrically-reactive armor that sublimates enemy bullets on contact, turning them into a vapor which dissipates harmlessly.

Movement Systems

Black Ops 3 features a new chain-based fluid movement system, allowing players to move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, power slides, wall-running, swimming, and fast mantling capabilities in a multitude of combinations – all with complete control over their weapon and character. Utilizing Treyarch’s signature guns up philosophy, players maintain full control of their weapon at all times and have 360-degrees of motion through all maneuvers.

Tailored Map Design

Maps are designed from the ground-up for the new movement system, giving players a feeling of power over how they use the environment for advanced tactics, while at the same time pushing strong head-to-head engagements for classic Black Ops boots-on-the-ground action.

Gunsmith and Weapon Paint Shop

Treyarch is taking weapon modification to a whole new level. With the new Gunsmith system, any weapon can be tailored to your preference with multiple models for each attachment, distinctive camos, and custom emblems. Multiple attachments and an optic can be added to weapons, giving you the opportunity to build out the ultimate weapon for battle. And on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, the new Weapon Paint Shop feature goes beyond the standard emblem editor and lets you create custom graphics that are displayed on the sides of your guns. With up to 64 layers and three sides to design, you’ll be able to create your own signature weapon variants with a practically infinite number of possible combinations.

ZOMBIES

FIGHT THE UNDEAD IN AN ALL-NEW HORROR STORY

No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering – a full-game experience with its own distinct storyline right out of the box. Black Ops III Zombies is the most immersive and ambitious Call of Duty Zombies to date, with a full XP-based progression system for players that adds depth and re-playability to the engaging gameplay Zombies fans have come to expect.

ZOMBIES SHADOWS OF EVIL OVERVIEW

Black Ops 3 Zombies is the most immersive and ambitious Call of Duty Zombies to date. Shadows of Evil will bring darkness and chaos like never before while delivering a totally unique and highly creative gameplay setting, complete with a mind-blowing experience with a captivating storyline, as well as its own XP progression system.

THE WORLD

Set in a fictional 1940s city, Shadows of Evil is a film-noir-inspired horror story centered around four particularly troubled individuals – the Femme Fatale, the Magician, the Cop and the Boxer – and spans an entire metropolis swathed in evil… Welcome to Morg City.

Each of the four characters awaken to a nightmarish world overrun by the undead. Each character fights to overcome confusion and amnesia – in the hope that they may piece together the events that brought them to this twisted world.

MORG CITY

Morg City is the ideal backdrop for a noir horror story, featuring a theater district, jazz clubs, and a suspension railway – elements that add new depth and complexity as you fend off the undead.

THE CHARACTERS

Shadows of Evil introduces players to the Femme Fatal, the Magician, the Detective and the Boxer.

Femme Fatal played by Heather Graham

She belongs in motion pictures, but instead works as a burlesque dancer at the city’s most ”upscale” nightclub – where she inevitably attracts the attention of many powerful men, manipulating their weaknesses and desires for her own ends.

The Magician played by Jeff Goldblum

Born into enormous wealth, the magician grew up surrounded by lackeys and sycophants… and a lifetime of constant praise and attention has only fueled his deeply misplaced arrogance.

The Cop played by Neal McDonough

After years of taking mob bribes and framing innocent men, the cop is a likely suspect in a department-wide corruption investigation… The timing of which couldn’t be worse.

The Boxer played by Ron Perlman

Besides removing the padding from his gloves, the boxer wore a pair of brass knuckles hidden beneath his hand wraps – he wasn’t just looking to win, he was looking to cause damage.
