Third DLC Pack for Call of Duty: Advanced
Warfare Delivers Four New Multiplayer Maps Taking Players Across
the Globe
Bruce Campbell Joins Next Chapter of the
Fan-Favorite Exo Zombies Saga, with All-Star Hollywood Cast of John
Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan and Jon Bernthal
Prepare for a globetrotting Call of Duty® DLC experience like no
other, against the backdrops of several of the greatest monuments
around the world in Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare
Supremacy. On June 2, the third DLC pack for Call of Duty:
Advanced Warfare from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq:ATVI), and
Sledgehammer Games, will be available first on the Xbox Live online
entertainment network for Xbox One and Xbox 360 games and
entertainment system from Microsoft, with other platforms to
follow.
From the famed steps of Parliament in London, to the snowy
confines of the Kremlin in Moscow, players will experience a
diverse landscape of multiplayer mayhem, including the return of
one of the most iconic multiplayer maps in Call of Duty history,
“Highrise,” which first debuted in 2009’s Call of Duty®:
Modern Warfare® 2, now transported to the year 2054.
“Set against iconic landmarks, Supremacy takes players
across the world in some of our most exciting maps to date. New and
exciting vertical routes give players unique ways to dominate the
battle through both the exo movement set and the new Exo Grapple
ability. We are also thrilled to reimagine one of the most popular
Call of Duty maps ever, Modern Warfare® 2’s Highrise, with exo
and grapple gameplay for fans to enjoy,” said Michael Condrey,
Co-Founder and Studio Head, Sledgehammer Games.
“This is not only the four new multiplayer maps, but the
continuation of the popular Exo Zombies saga. We’re huge fans of
Bruce Campbell, and to be able to add him to the already great
roster of performers in Exo Zombies takes this to a new level,”
said Glen Schofield, Co-Founder and Studio head, Sledgehammer
Games.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Supremacy includes four
new, action-packed multiplayer maps, all featuring the new Exo
Grapple mechanic, which adds a layer of fun and strategy to the
experience.
- Parliament: Docked on the River
Thames, this military cargo ship delivers a view of the London
cityscape along with a fast-paced combat experience. Mixed
site-lines provide opportunities for all styles of play to dominate
this medium-sized map. Players can take control of the map-based
scorestreak to unleash a barrage of missiles that annihilate
enemies.
- Kremlin: Gamers must prepare for
intense combat outside Russia’s presidential palace in the new map
Kremlin, as they navigate the worn-torn buildings of Red Square in
this medium-sized, three-lane map. Secure elevated positions to
give the team a strategic advantage, or use exoskeleton
capabilities to avoid being caught in the minefield that activates
mid-match.
- Compound: Players take combat
preparation to the limit in an Atlas training facility hidden away
in the Colorado wilderness, as they’ll have to be quick on the
trigger in this small, symmetrical map, which funnels high-speed
combat through tight corners to the main tower structures.
- Skyrise: Players deploy to an Atlas
Skyscraper overlooking the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Based on
the fan-favorite, Highrise, from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by
Infinity Ward, this map brings new exoskeleton mechanics to the
classic multiplayer layout. Gamers must dominate the power
positions in the center of this small-to-medium sized map to
control the key navigation points.
The popular Exo Zombies saga continues in the all-new episode,
Carrier. Following the end of the last episode, Infected, Bruce
Campbell (Army of Darkness, Burn Notice) steps in and joins the
battle-hardened cast of John Malkovich (In the Line of Fire, RED,
Burn After Reading), Bill Paxton (Aliens, Titanic, Edge of
Tomorrow), Rose McGowan (Planet Terror, Scream), and Jon Bernthal
(Fury, The Wolf of Wall Street). In Carrier, the four are trapped
on an Atlas aircraft carrier. Carrier features advanced new
weaponry, enemy Atlas Strike teams, Sentinel support squads, and a
host of new zombie enemies.
