The developer behind Call of Duty: Black Ops III has explained why the upcoming military shooter is hitting current and last-generation consoles.
Quizzed by GamingBolt as to why this latest entry in the multi-million selling franchise is hitting multiple formats, Jay Puryear, Treyarch’s Director of Brand Development, commented:
“Is there a reason?! We’ve got great fans. Call of Duty experiences are always about the community and fans and we want to make sure that everybody who wants to play Black Ops III can," said Puryear.
He also remained confident if the game’s hype is justified, highlighting the various innovations that Black Ops III brings to the table:
“Of course! Right? I mean look at it, the team has worked 3 years to pour their hearts and soul to deliver a product that will push on single-player campaign with four-player co-op on next-gen. We’re really pushing the system in the machine and hardware.
“If you look at all the innovations that we’re doing on multiplayer and really adding this combat loop, progression system, specialists characters. So, there is just so much content on the disc and then when we roll out our zombies I think you’ll see that we’ve got 3 games in 1. So, as far as the content and the experience we’ll get out of this, we think is absolutely by far the best.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is due out in November for PS4, PS3, PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360. Be sure to check out details on the game’s Zombies mode here.
