Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies Mode - Shadows of Evil map

Treyarch has officially unveiled Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's Zombies Mode. During a panel today at San Diego Comic-Con, the developer revealed the new Zombies Map, called "Shadows of Evil." We're still awaiting any trailer they might release, but for now here's an image someone in attendance shared of the reveal.

Zombies has fastly become one of the biggest draws for Treyarch's consumers, after launching the game mode back in 2009 with Call of Duty: World at War. However, much has changed since "Nazi Zombies." In recent years Treyarch has allowed Zombies mode to evolve alongside the gaming style, allowing all sorts of different ways that the zombies can attack. The game has taken great strides in recent titles to fit into a more futuristic setting, with zombies adapting to EXO suits and being able to move much faster. 

The demand for Zombies mode has been ever-present since the E3 trade fair – the lauch of Xbox One backwards compatibility – with previous Call of Duty titles exploding in demand. But now, Treyarch Zombies is back!
