Co-op Zombie Action: 'Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Zombies' Shadows of Evil Takes Players to the 1940's

Such a jazzy, unexpected ride.

With 'Call of Duty: Black Ops III,' Activision and Treyarch are really mixing things up, and the newly revealed Zombies mode should make that extremely obvious. In contrast to the future tech setting of the main game, the Zombies mode is taking things back to a grindhouse style 1940's setting. In the 'Shadows of Evil' look shared at Comic-Con International, fans can see that in addition to another star-studded cast, this Zombies foray is a bit more stylish than anything that's comes before. (Also revealed today were the Collector's Edtions, see here.)

From Activision,

Set in a 1940’s 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).
