Voyage of Despair – how does this setting and time period fit into the overall Zombies mythos? It seems like quite a departure. More significantly it was also a new cast of characters, so in that sense, Shadows – along with the original Mob of the Dead – was one of the maps that gave us the confidence to take the narrative outside of the Aether timeline. Jason Blundell, Director, Zombies at Treyarch: Shadows was one of the maps where we really tried to challenge expectations – not just regarding time-period and tone, but also through the sheer scale and variety of the environment. Loreĭid Shadows of Evil (Call of Duty: Black Ops III) influence the design decisions or flow of any of the new Black Ops 4 Zombies maps? Though Treyarch is traditionally tight-lipped around Zombies details, Black Ops 4 is shipping with three radically different Zombies experiences on day one… so Zombies Director Jason Blundell graciously pulled back the curtain to give us a peek.

With a new Blood of the Dead trailer burbling out of the Comic-Con murk yesterday, we put out the call to PlayStation fans for their questions (I snuck in a few, too) and send them off to Treyarch via carrier pigeon. It’s hard to believe, but this year marks a full decade since the release of Call of Duty: World at War… and along with it, Treyarch’s very first Zombies experience: Nacht der Untoten.
