“Mankind’s grestest mistake will be its inability to control the technology it has created.”
Activision has released another teaser for Call of Duty: Black Ops III in their continued pursuit to prep gamers ahead of the game’s “World Reveal” on April 26. Today’s teaser, titled “Ember,” focuses on the technological advancements that will push humanity to new heights over the next 50 years. The world of 2065 is one of replacement limbs that perform better than the real thing and replacement eyes that can see everything. Faster, stronger, better isn’t just the motto of the Six Million Dollar Man anymore. And a scared populace has begun to fight back against these “altered” humans.
The comparisons to Eidos Montreal’s recently-revealed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided practically write themselves.
The trailer closes with snippets from an interview with an Edward Snowden-like whistleblower. Faux Snowden is attempting to blow the lid off a US Government-sanctioned “Super Soldier” program, because the final ominous images of the teaser lead me to believe these boys aren’t quite as wholesome as Captain America.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be released this November. A PC, PS4, and Xbox One release is assured, though a PS3/Xbox 360 launch is also likely.
