Activision and Infinity Ward have released the first details for
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Continuum, the second DLC Map
Pack for 2016’s No. 1 top-selling console video game in the U.S.
(excluding hardware bundle sales), Call of Duty: Infinite
Warfare. Featuring four diverse, new multiplayer maps, and a
new zombies co-op experience called Shaolin Shuffle, set in a ‘70s
era New York disco-zombie fright fest, Continuum is scheduled for
release April 18, first on the PlayStation® Network for the
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, with other platforms
to follow.

“We couldn’t be more excited to deliver a new co-op zombies
chapter with Shaolin Shuffle, with an all-new setting and story,
that continues the wild and increasingly twisted narrative,” said
Dave Stohl, Studio Head of Infinity Ward. “For multiplayer, we’re
creating a diverse set of maps from Turista and Scrap, to Archive,
that cater to various play styles in cool ways and allow fans to
experiment with different rigs and loadouts. And then there’s Rust,
one of our all-time favorite maps from Modern Warfare® 2,
re-imagined and now called Excess to complete the multiplayer
package.”
Shaolin Shuffle, the next thrilling chapter of the Call of
Duty: Infinite Warfare zombies experience, features the return
of Willard Wyler, the mysterious movie director villain portrayed
with voice and likeness by Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday,
Gotham). This time, Wyler has trapped the four protagonists inside
a new horror film, set in the unforgettable 1970s. Players will
face all-new zombie enemies across a variety of disco-era New York
locations, including subways, flashy nightclubs and a martial arts
dojo headed up by the “Shaolin Sister,” played with voice and
likeness by Pam Grier (Jackie Brown, Foxy Brown). In addition to
hallmark Call of Duty action, Shaolin Shuffle introduces four
unlockable kung fu fighting styles, each with its own set of unique
combat moves. Seth Green (Robot Chicken, Austin Powers) as “the
Punk Rocker;” Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Suicide Squad) as “the
Sleazebag;” Jay Pharoah (Saturday Night Live, Ride Along) as “the
Street Poet;” and Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live, Inside Amy
Schumer) as “the Disco Chick,” all return from the ongoing story in
this all-new experience.
In addition to the Shaolin Shuffle zombies content, Continuum
will also include four new multiplayer maps:
- Turista – A plush spa and resort,
Turista is nestled in the middle of a giant skeleton of an ancient
creature. With sniper spots scattered across a majestic, central
waterfall, Turista also boasts tight interiors for fans of
close-quartered combat and a three-lane design that caters to a
variety of play styles.
- Scrap – Set in an abandoned junkyard on
the Moon, Scrap features a combination of extended sightlines and
tactical pathways that reward players who engage in both long and
short range combat.
- Archive – Fast, frenetic engagements
set the pace in Archive, a post-futurist art gallery where tight
engagements contrast with open exterior battlegrounds in this wide
three-lane style map.
- Excess – Perched atop a gilded
penthouse in a sprawling future metropolis, Excess is a small,
circular map re-imagined from the classic Modern Warfare 2 map,
Rust, that retains the intense, fast-paced combat from the
original.
