Black Ops III Redefines How Call of Duty is Played Delivering Innovations Across Every Mode — Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies — in the Deepest Call of Duty Ever
Activision and Treyarch also announced for the first time on Call of Duty next gen — a multiplayer Beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Fans who pre-order the game now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or PC will get access to the Beta*, details for which will be announced at a later date.
"Nearly 100 million people have played Call of Duty: Black Ops
and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, making it the most-played series
in Call of Duty history. And those fans are about to get the best Black
Ops game we've made yet with Call of Duty: Black Ops III,"
said
The Black Ops series is the most played in Call of Duty history with nearly 100 million registered players having played Call of Duty®: Black Ops and Call of Duty®: Black Ops II combined. For award-winning studio, Treyarch, this marks the first time with three years for development, which has been fully leveraged to bring the Black Ops series to next gen with Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
"Black Ops III is, without a doubt, the most ambitious project
ever in the history of our studio. Since the launch of Black Ops II,
we have been pushing ourselves to develop the best Call of Duty
game we can for the millions of fans that continue to play our games,
even to this day," said
The Call of Duty: Black Ops III campaign deploys players into a future world, where biotechnology coupled with cybernetic enhancements has given rise to a new breed of Black Ops soldier. Through Direct Neural Interface (DNI) technology, players are now connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. In a world more divided than ever, this elite squad consists of men and women who have enhanced their combat capabilities to fight faster, stronger and smarter.
The most engaging and rewarding multiplayer offering to date debuts a new momentum-based, chained-movement system that allows players to move fluidly through custom-built environments with finesse, all while maintaining complete control over their weapon at all times. Treyarch also introduces its new Specialist system, which lets players choose and rank up nine elite Black Ops soldiers, each with their own look, personality, voice and battle-hardened weapons and abilities, fundamentally changing the way players engage in combat. Multiplayer is rounded out with an all-new weapon customization system that give players more powerful tools than ever to build and personalize that perfect weapon. Additional details about multiplayer will be announced at a later date.
No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies, rounding out the offering. Call of Duty: Black Ops III delivers a completely unique Zombies experience and is the most immersive and ambitious Zombies to date, complete with a new XP progression for players, adding unprecedented levels of depth and re-playability.
"Call of Duty is an entertainment juggernaut that continues to
reinvent itself year after year with new storylines and exciting
features," said
