"Experience some of the most thrilling maps in Zombies history in their full HD glory, including Shangri-La, a legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle where the undead lurk within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns; Kino Der Toten, an abandoned cinema packed with swarms of Crawler Zombies and fiery traps; Shi No Numa, a swamp of death in a sweltering jungle; Origins, an abandoned German excavation site, and more!"
— Official Description

Zombies Chronicles is the fifth DLC map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It includes a total of eight different zombies maps from Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, all of which have been remade within Black Ops III's engine and mechanics such as GobbleGum machines in every map and the Der Wunderfizz appearing in some of the maps. Due to change in game mechanics, futuristic Black Ops III-era weapons appear (with some old weapons returning), Double Tap Root Beer was replaced by its improved variant and Widow's Wine has replaced PhD Flopper. In addition, the Ray Gun Mark II has been added to all of the remade maps.

The Zombies Chronicles DLC costs $29.99, and is not included in the Black Ops III Season Pass.

Alongside the maps, Zombies Chronicles also includes twenty vials of Liquid Divinium, two all-new Whimsical GobbleGums, and five new exclusive Zombies Pack-a-Punch weapon camos, all of which are from the Zombies map Der Eisendrache.

As part of its reveal, an entire poster containing significant dates and events of the entire Zombies timeline can be accessed and viewed.

Trivia[]

  • According to Jason Blundell, the poster containing all of the events of the Zombies storyline is actually an entire page from the Kronorium. This can be further confirmed with the words "Excerpt 1023816121016" on the bottom right corner of the page.
    • Doctor Monty's signature can be seen in the top left corner of the page.
  • Any reference of the word Nazi, its flags, or symbols (swastika, SS runes) that were seen in any of the original maps have been removed and replaced with various other symbols used by the German Military.
    • The only exception to this is in the Mission Briefing of Verrückt and the radio in Verrückt in which Doctor Monty recites Verrückt's Mission Briefing.
