Zombies Are Headed to ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’
After skipping the last four games, I finally broke down last week and grabbed a copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. I haven’t touched the multiplayer yet, but I recently finished the campaign and found it to be considerably more impressive than the series’ latest efforts. I’ve been waiting to try out its wave survival mode, because it’s hardly worth it if zombies aren’t in there.
In just a few short weeks, Advanced Warfare will get that much-needed dose of ghoulish action when the Havoc DLC pack arrives, bringing my undead friends with it.
Included in the pack will be four new multiplayer maps, a new weapon, and the first chapter in what sounds like an episodic co-op survival mode called Exo Zombies, that pits John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan and Jon Bernthal against militarized ghouls.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare‘s Havoc DLC is scheduled to hit Xbox One on January 27, with PS4 and PC releases following later on.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
