Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a military science fiction first-person shooter video game, developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. It is the twelfth entry in theCall of Duty series and the sequel to the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 6, 2015. A feature-limited version developed by Beenox and Mercenary Technology that only supports multiplayer modes was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Upon release, the game received positive reviews from critics.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III takes place in 2065, 40 years after the events of Black Ops II, in a world facing upheaval from climate change and new technologies. In response to the drone assaults of Black Ops 2, several countries around the world have developed high-tech air defenses that render conventional air forces virtually useless. As such, most of the warfare between countries is done by covert operatives fighting behind enemy lines. Military technology has progressed to the point where robotics play a major role in combat, and both fully robotic humanoid drones and cyborg supersoldiers have been developed to fight in the battlefield. As a result, there is speculation and fear about an eventual robotic takeover. The game follows a team of black ops soldiers, like previous installments in the Black Ops series.

In the year 1942, in Morg City, resides four individuals: Jessica Rose, Jack Vincent, Floyd Campbell and Nero Blackstone, all of whom have done heinous misdeeds in the past. Jessica, who intends to pursue a career in motion pictures, had an affair with a film producer, but then it was discovered by a photographer of the press, resulting in her inviting the photographer over to kill him. Vincent, who has been a crooked cop for a long period in his career, attempts to stop the mayor of the city from tracking him down, by silencing all his associates who could rat him out. Campbell, a boxer who hasn't fought for eighteen months, sought to defeat his number one contender, Tony King, by any means necessary, leading him to wearing brass knuckles beneath his gloves in their fight. Nero, a formerly successful magician, was caught up in large amounts of debts, accumulated by his wife, prompting him to set up an accident in order to kill his wife and recover her insurance money to pay off all the debts.
At one point, as all four of them gather under the Black Lace burlesque club, they are somehow put to sleep. They then wake up in separate areas of Morg City, each with a "Mark of the Beast" symbol branded on their left hands. They also find the city infested with zombies, and thus are forced to band together to survive. They then discover the voice of the Shadowman, a mysterious figure who offers to help them find redemption. After giving them an artificat called the Summoning Key, He then guides them to performing sacrificial rituals, using people who are associated with each of the characters: Jessica's film producer, Vincent's police partner, Campbell's promoter, and Nero's lawyer. After finishing all the rituals and opening a gateway, the Shadowman reveals himself as a servant of Cthulhu, and disappears, leaving the characters helpless. Above the skies of Morg City, a gigantic tentacle monster now overshadows the city. The four then set out to perform more rituals, eventually attracting the attention of the Shadowman, who attempts to thwart their plans. However, they trap him within a sacrificial ritual, which kills him, allowing them to summon a giant Gateworm. The four then work together once more to destroy the giant Gateworm, sending a large energy beam upwards into the sky and destroying the tentacle monster. As they go to retrieve the Summoning Key, the German scientist Edward Richtofen appears out of a portal and grabs the key, thanking them for their effort, before leaving through said portal.
Following their battle against the undead outbreak in the excavation site in France, the three Allied soldiers: Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, and Takeo Masaki, along with Richtofen, arrived in Agartha and learned from Samantha Maxis about the state of her universe. Richtofen then set out to change the future by traveling to different dimensions and killing his other selves, despite the others not wanting him to alter the other timelines' established continuity. After several attempts, they arrive in another timeline, in the Der Riese facility, only moments after Samantha and her father, Doctor Ludvig Maxis, were teleported away by this timeline's Richtofen. Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo attempt to convince this Richtofen to follow his plans and awaken their other selves, but are interrupted by the Origins timeline's Richtofen, who appears out of a teleporter, and kills his other self. The four then find themselves fending off the zombie horde together once more. As the fight goes on, the characters find themselves affected by Element 115, and their personalities begin to mix with those of their original counterparts: Dempsey becomes more aggressive and loud-mouthed, Nikolai talks about drinking more often, Takeo constantly speaks of his honor and his loyalty to the Emperor of Japan, while Richtofen shows signs of hearing voices and going insane. They also discover hidden radio recordings of Dr. Maxis, as well as other alternate versions of Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo speaking of their dimension-traveling experiences. Eventually, the group activates a beacon within the facility, allowing Dr. Maxis from another dimension to locate them.
