mode Zombies in Spaceland. The new mode takes zombies to a fresh
era in a thrilling 1980s themepark setting, sure to frighten and
delight zombies’ fans, in a truly unique experience you have to see

The Call of Duty fan experience also showcases content from the
story campaign in award-winning studio Infinity Ward’s newest
title. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare breaks new ground in
storytelling by exploring the weight of leadership and the
responsibilities that come with it in an emotional,
character-driven narrative. Players are thrust into wartime
leadership as Captain Reyes, a Tier 1 Special Operations
soldier, takes the helm of the Retribution, one of Earth's last
remaining warships. In a time of unthinkable hardships, Reyes must
lead the remnants of coalition forces against a relentless enemy in
a war that stretches across our solar system to terrains beyond
Earth.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare introduces new weaponry,
unique player abilities and stunning all-new settings to
the Call of Duty franchise. In addition to a riveting
single player story campaign, and a radical co-operative zombies
experience: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare: Zombies in
Spaceland, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will also
unveil a robust multiplayer mode at the upcoming Call of
Duty fan celebration, Call of Duty® XP, in
September. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is in
development for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Call of
Duty: Infinite Warfare is not yet rated by PEGI.
