This trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s Zombies Chronicles ran so far

Behold horror and/or FPS lovers. Here be the first trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies Chronicles. Ready your flamethrower…

Run so far away

For a tacked on mode that became playable after the credits of the first Black Ops title, zombies has become quite the thing. It’s a foregone conclusion that it’ll be included in every Call of Duty at this point. There’s a good reason for that too. Namely, that it’s insanely popular.

This pack of zombies maps is a surprise, but it’s also a welcome one. I think that’s true for both for longtime fans and newcomers. After all, what better way to enjoy blasting some rotters back to hell than with a remastered map… or eight.

That’s the total number of maps that’ll be included in the pack, by the way. It loads up with zombie experiences from three different CoD titles, including the first, World at War. These aren’t simple retreads though, as the pack includes enhancements to the originals too. According to developer Treyarch, the maps are all presented “in true HD with current-generation visuals, enhanced lighting, revamped character models and environments, and updated AI and audio systems”.

Here’s what’ll be included when the pack hits the PS4 first, on May 16th:
