Infinity Ward, Absolution features four new, diverse multiplayer

“No matter your play style, whether you’re a sniper from long
range or love close-quarters combat, our team has designed the new
maps in Absolution to be fun for all players,” said Dave Stohl,
Studio Head of Infinity Ward. “And with Attack of the Radioactive
Thing!, the twisted zombies storyline heads into another crazy
setting now in the 1950s, straight from the classic horror movies
of the era. It’s a beachside town completely demolished by a new
type of enemy we hope our fans will love, along with waves of the
undead and all-new weapons and traps to engage with.”
Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, the next action-packed chapter
of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare zombies story, once
again features the return of Willard Wyler, the merciless movie
director villain portrayed with voice and likeness by Paul Reubens
(Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, Gotham). Wyler has trapped the four
protagonists inside an all-new horror film in the style of the
classic, Creature Feature movies from the 1950s. Players will fight
against a new array of zombie enemies across a ravaged beach town
where a government science experiment has transformed the residents
into flesh-devouring zombies and introduced a new biological menace
into the city. Additionally, horror movie icon Elvira, played with
voice and likeness by Cassandra Peterson (Elvira: Mistress of the
Dark, Elvira’s Movie Macabre), will help players survive and give
them gameplay tips and side quests with her unique Elvira style.
New weapons, traps and more, will augment the hallmark Call of Duty
zombies action fans know and love, with Seth Green (Robot Chicken,
Austin Powers) as "the Scientist;" Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors,
Suicide Squad) as "the Rebel;" Jay Pharoah (White Famous, Saturday
Night Live) as "the Soldier;" and Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night
Live, Pizza Mind) as "the School Girl," all making a return to the
ongoing story in this all-new experience.
In addition to Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, Absolution will
also include four new multiplayer maps:
- Bermuda – A shantytown created around
the remnants of a crashed ship, Bermuda allows players to duck,
dive, and wall ride from the fish market to the lighthouse in this
small to medium sized map that’s been water-wasted and
sandblasted.
- Permafrost – Set within the chill of a
frozen city skyline, Permafrost lets players stick to the ground
and pick their plan of attack in one of three main lanes. They will
traverse the map, moving from street side to train station, and
hobo village to wrecked theater house in this small, tight-quarters
map.
- Fore – In Fore, the only thing
miniature about this large map is the golf courses players will be
fighting in. Fore features great visual variety as players swing
around the sights and sounds of areas that brandish magical
forests, giant creamsicles, and elevated castle walls.
- Ember – Located near an old town
castle, Ember is a remake of the Modern Warfare® 3 classic map
Resistance, featuring old world aesthetics retrofitted with modern
technology. The surroundings include lava, gallows and a torture
room, where players will want to stick close to their
teammates.
