Treyarch, the creators of Call of Duty® Zombies, is back with
Shadows of Evil, the all-new undead survival co-op mode
launching on November 6 with Call of Duty®: Black Ops III.
Shadows of Evil will make its world-wide debut today at San
Diego Comic-Con, which delivers an incredibly rich and deep
narrative and action-packed co-op survival experience that is
signature to Treyarch’s strain of Zombies. Players are introduced
to an all-star cast of characters, including Jeff Goldblum, Heather
Graham, Neal McDonough, Ron Perlman and Robert Picardo.
“Treyarch has crafted a totally unique and face-melting gameplay
experience for our loyal Zombies community, with Call of Duty:
Black Ops III: Zombies – Shadows of Evil,” said Mark
Lamia, Studio Head, Treyarch. “The development team has packed
Shadows of Evil with more gameplay and fun than any other
experience before it, and has an appropriately twisted and deep
narrative, performed by fantastic acting talent, that will keep our
fans spinning.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops III: Zombies – Shadows of
Evil drops players into a recognizable yet terrifyingly
unfamiliar world, as they uncover the secrets and challenges laid
out for them by a shadowy figure, who holds their fate in his
hands. Set in a 1940s film-noir era, Shadows of Evil
introduces four unwitting characters – The Magician, The
Femme-Fatale, The Cop and The Boxer – into an unraveling experience
masterminded by the mysterious Shadow Man. Featuring voices and
likenesses, the characters are played by Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic
Park, Independence Day), Heather Graham (The Hangover 1-3,
Californication), Neil McDonough (Captain America: The First
Avenger, Band of Brothers), Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy, Hellboy)
and Robert Picardo (Star Trek: Voyager, Stargate SG-1).
Marking today’s world premiere, Call of Duty: Black Ops III:
Zombies – Shadows of Evil is taking over San Diego Comic-Con
with an action-packed lineup of activities and events for fans.
Kicking off the show, Zombies will be front and center at a panel
hosted by YouTube superstar, and Call of Duty Zombies fanatic,
Syndicate (Tom Cassell). The panel features celebrity stars of the
Call of Duty Zombies Treyarch series past and present, exclusive
giveaways, behind-the-scenes information and the world exclusive
first look of Shadows of Evil gameplay. Throughout
Comic-Con, fans can also step into the world of Shadows of
Evil via an epic immersive experiential activity (located at
450 Second Ave. from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Thursday, 12:00 pm to
8:00 pm Friday and Saturday) that places them in the middle of an
unrelenting Zombie onslaught, giving them a firsthand look at the
survivors’ intertwined stories for the ultimate Call of Duty
Zombies brought to life.
And open to the public for the first time, players can get their
hands on Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer on
PlayStation 4 inside the PlayStation “Road to Greatness” Tour Bus
parked right outside the Zombies experience.
Making its debut at San Diego Comic-Con, the Call of Duty:
Black Ops III Juggernog Collector’s Edition is the unparalleled
offering for the die-hard Call of Duty Zombies fan. The limited
Juggernog Collector’s Edition comes packed with a fully-functioning
mini-refrigerator modeled after the iconic Juggernog Perk-a-Cola
dispenser from Call of Duty Zombies, the Call of Duty: Black Ops
III Season Pass and The Giant, a remake of Der Rise, one of the
all-time fan favorite Treyarch Zombies maps. The Call of Duty:
Black Ops III Hardened Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition also

Additionally revealed today at San Diego Comic Con, Activision
Blizzard launched an exciting campaign with charity fundraising
platform Omaze, which gives Call of Duty fans a chance to
