Attack of the Radioactive Thing Confirmed as IW Zombies DLC 3

Attack of the Radioactive Thing Confirmed as IW Zombies DLC 3

Posted in infinite warfare

Lee Ross has confirmed that the third DLC zombies map for Infinite Warfare will be called "Attack of the Radioactive Thing". The new map follows on from the previous entry, "Shaolin Shuffle", taking the IW zombies mode back to the 1960's era and the horror movie genre.

With all the understandable excitement over Zombies Chronicles, many Call of Duty Zombies fans will no doubt have forgotten about Infinite Warfare for the time being. For those who have the Season Pass or are simply fans of what Infinity Ward are doing with their twist of the zombies mode, then the new map called "Attack of the Radioactive Thing" will be on the radar.

Continuing the story of Willard Wyler, the new map takes the characters back several decades to the 60's and the classic horror era. Indeed we saw from the ending cutscene for Shaolin Shuffle that the next map would be darker, possibly with black and white elements, and with more horror aspects then we came to enjoy in Rave in the Redwoods.

A recent teaser image also showed what appeared to be the door to a haunted mansion, with a bats head symbol on the door - presumably a reference to vampires and other classic creatures you would associate with horror movies.
