Treyarch, developer of the two most-played games in Call of Duty history, returns with Call of Duty: Black Ops III. For the first time with three years of development, the revered, award-winning studio has created its first title for next-gen hardware in the critically acclaimed Black Ops series.

Welcome to Call of Duty: Black Ops III, a dark, twisted future where a new breed of Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines are blurred between our own humanity and the technology we created to stay ahead, in a world where cutting-edge military robotics define warfare.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III combines three unique game modes: Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies, providing fans with the deepest and most ambitious Call of Duty ever. The Campaign has been designed as a co-op game that can be played with up to four players online, or as a solo cinematic thrill-ride. Multiplayer will be the franchises deepest, most rewarding and most engaging to date, with new ways to rank up, customise, and gear up for battle. Zombies delivers an all-new mind-blowing experience with its own dedicated narrative.

Black Ops III can be played entirely online, and for the first time each of the offerings has its own unique player XP and progression systems. The title ushers in an unprecedented level of innovation, including jaw-dropping environments, never before experienced weaponry and abilities, and the introduction of a new, improved fluid movement system. All of this is brought to life by advanced technology custom crafted for this title, including new AI and animation systems, and graphics that redefine the standards fans have come to expect from the series, with cutting edge lighting systems and visual effects.

Introducing a new era of Black Ops

Call of Duty: Black Ops III deploys its players into a future where bio-technology has enabled a new breed of Black Ops soldier. Players are now always on and always 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. Every soldier has to make difficult decisions and visit dark places in this engaging, gritty narrative.

New Movement System

Treyarch elevates the Call of Duty social gaming experience by delivering a campaign with the ability to play cooperatively with up to four players online, using the same battle-tested network infrastructure and social systems that support its world-class Multiplayer and Zombies game modes.

Designed for co-op and re-playability, players encounter all the epic cinematic gameplay moments Call of Duty is known for delivering, 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 customisable: from weapons and loadouts, to abilities and outfits, all with full progression systems and a personalised armory to show off accomplishments, providing a constantly-evolving campaign experience.

Prepare for a levelled-up multiplayer

With Black Ops III, Treyarch premieres a new momentum-based chained-movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, 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 manoeuvres.

Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to rank up and master each specific characters battle-hardened capabilities and weapons. With this addition to Traditional and Weapons XP progressions systems, Black Ops III multiplayer gives players three different ways to rank up.

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.
