Citadelle des Morts Preview: Chaos in Avalon

The Citadelle des Morts intro cinematic is out, and while I was already excited for more Zombies after Black Ops 6’s launch, my hype is now at fever pitch for the new map update. It’s been a while since I’ve written on Shutter Paw–I’ve been dipping my toes in some…

Black Ops 6 Zombies: First Impressions and Feedback

Black Ops 6 is phenomenal. I’ve spent countless hours playing around with all three pillars since launch and have barely scratched the surface. Given the live service element, I’m saving a full critique until the first additional Zombies map is released, but I still wanted to get some initial thoughts…

Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Blog About a Blog

If it wasn’t clear, it should be now: Treyarch is listening to the community more than ever. Despite a short turnaround from reveal to launch, Treyarch has acknowledged and addressed much of the feedback for Black Ops 6’s release. Yesterday’s blog post delivered valuable information about Zombies, including a deep…

Into the Intel II: The Chaos Story, Mr Peeks, and the Dark Aether Villains

Following the first Into the Intel, which covered Project Janus, the relationship between Aether and Dark Aether, and some thoughts on MWZ pre-finale, I’m back with further musings about the mysteries of Zombies. First up, something Black Ops 4 fans haven’t stopped talking about since it was discovered. Chaos Control…

Concord and the Game of Survival

PlayStation has dominated the headlines this week, and for good reason: Astro Bot is a triumph! Currently rated at 94 on Metacritic, the game proves that smaller-scoped titles can be massive successes if you trust the development team to deliver on its vision. Flip the record over, however, and we…

Look At This Esthtuk Zortuk

With the (excellent) Black Ops 6 beta live, bits and pieces of leaked information are making the rounds on Twitter. One thing that has caught the eye of many Zombies players is a potential “Classic Mode.” All we have is the name; we must make zero assumptions here. For all…

The Panic of Liberty Falls

The last three weeks were lovely while they lasted. The air of positivity around Black Ops 6 Zombies has returned to the usual nonsense. Unfortunately, I’m not surprised. Let me be clear: you are allowed not to like the game. If you have issues with it, you are free to…

Richtofen Returns; Liberty Falls

The word “cinema” gets thrown around a lot these days. It’s been repurposed as an adjective to signify the quality of something, commonly a scene in a movie or video game. I’m guilty of using “cinema” to describe anything I deem fit. Like most modern linguistic trends, it started as…

Modern Warfare Zombies Finale: Fishing in Shadows

The finale to Modern Warfare Zombies could easily have been lost amongst the hype of Black Ops 6. Many had given up on the mode due to its different take on the Zombies formula and sparse updates, but ultimately, it was worth the wait. I’m not just referring to the…

Into the Intel I: Project Janus, The Aether, and MWZ

One of my favourite things about the Dark Aether story has been the return of mystery to Zombies’ storytelling. As exciting (and beautiful) as the Zombies Chronicles timeline was in Black Ops 3, it ended up sucking a lot of the air out of the room. We got too many…
