When You’re Ready to Upgrade
Time to earn the Mask, as Call of Duty: Ghosts is here to
define the next console generation. Now available worldwide, the
all-new title ushers in the next generation of Call of Duty. From
Activision and its award-winning studio Infinity Ward, the
developer that brought players the original Call of Duty and the
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® series, Call of Duty: Ghosts
features a new, intense story, and new innovations in multiplayer,
all brought to life by a next generation engine that delivers a
full package of entertainment as only Call of Duty can.
“The launch of Call of Duty has become a pop-cultural event
shared by millions around the globe. We consider this a huge honor
and it drives us to exceed our fans’ expectations each and every
time,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing Inc.
“Call of Duty: Ghosts delivers on this promise with an epic
thrill ride which takes the franchise to new heights on both
current and next gen consoles. The teams at Infinity Ward, Raven
and Neversoft have poured their hearts and souls into making this
the must have gaming experience of the next generation. And of
course, none of this would be possible without the most passionate
fans in the world. Today is for them.”
In Call of Duty: Ghosts, for the first time ever in the
series, gamers play as the underdog against an enemy that has
superior numbers and firepower. The story opens with a strike from
the ODIN (Orbital Defense Initiative) space station, a weapons
platform which was designed to protect us. An intense firefight in
space turns the most powerful weapon ever devised against us, and
the attack reshapes the world as we know it. As your home lies in
ruins and everything around you is destroyed, you and your brother
come across the remnants of a group of elite soldiers, shrouded in
mystery, known only as the Ghosts. Together you must not only
defend what’s left, but also take the fight to the enemy before
they complete the destruction and end our way of life. Co-written
by Stephen Gaghan, the Academy Award® winning writer, Call of
Duty: Ghosts is a stunning leap forward for the blockbuster
franchise.
“From Day One, we’ve set out to create the next generation of
Call of Duty with Ghosts,” said Mark Rubin, Executive
Producer, Infinity Ward. “With an all-new single player story, our
best multiplayer game yet, character customization, squads mode and
an all-new Extinction mode that lets you battle it out against
aliens, this game is the complete entertainment package. We’re
excited today is finally here and can’t wait for our fans all over
the world to start playing.”
Call of Duty: Ghosts delivers an unparalleled online
multiplayer experience, empowering fans to customize their soldiers
and squads as male or female characters for the first time,
bringing over 20,000 possible character combinations. With seven
new multiplayer modes, 14 maps out of the box, a new Squads mode
for up to six-player cooperative play, over 30 new weapons,
including a new Marksman Rifle weapon class, and over 20 new
Killstreaks, it’s the complete online experience on both next gen
and current gen systems.
Call of Duty: Ghosts also introduces Extinction, a
completely new co-op game mode featuring a unique blend of
fast-paced survival gameplay, base defense, player customization
and class leveling. Teamwork and communication are essential when
playing Extinction, as your team faces an alien menace that has
overrun an isolated Colorado town and the team must eliminate the
threat via any means necessary.

PlayStation®3 who plan on picking up the Xbox One or PlayStation®4
can play today and upgrade seamlessly to the next generation when
