Totenreich is on the way, and Black Ops 7’s third post-launch map may have delivered the game’s best intro cinematic yet. It combines the action of Astra Malorum with the character focus of Paradox Junction to create a 90-second spectacle that delights and poses questions in equal measure. The crew…
Blood Reaver (Early Access) Impressions
With Call of Duty Zombies fast approaching its 20th anniversary, it’s no surprise that “Zombies-like” games have started popping up. The horde-shooter mode has inspired multiple generations of players — so much so that some fans who grew up with it have decided to develop their own interpretations. I was…
Jason Blundell: Down but Not Out
It’s always strange seeing so much Zombies-related coverage in the news, but it’s been one of those weeks. Jason Blundell’s new studio, Dark Outlaw Games, has been shuttered by PlayStation after a year and some change.

Crisol: Theater of Idols Review – Low Price, High Potential
There’s always an air of caution when a new publisher arrives on the scene and promises the world. Take Embracer Group, for instance: a conglomerate that has had more negative headlines than successful games. Blumhouse Games had a different plan. It aimed to replicate the success of its older sibling,…
Black Ops 7 Zombies: Paradox Junction Preview
I’m still fully invested in the Dark Aether story, despite its higgledy-piggledy storytelling over the past few years, but one thing has been clear for a while: we need answers. Not to the extent of a Zombies Chronicles-style timeline, but resolutions to at least some of the threads that have…
Approaching The Junction
I originally hoped to have an article on the forthcoming Paradox Junction map, as well as some of my thoughts on the Black Ops 7 Zombies story, live tonight. Unfortunately, as has become common for Zombies, plans change. Here’s an amalgamation of the latter half with my added thoughts on…
