Epic, Highly-Anticipated First DLC Pack Offers
Fans New Multiplayer Maps, War Mode Mission and Nazi Zombies
Experience
Global Call of Duty Community Event Featuring
New Content, New Gear and Return of Fan-Favorite Game Modes
Continues for Fans
Players can join the Resistance starting today as Call of
Duty®: WWII – The Resistance, the first DLC pack for the No. 1
top-selling console video game of 2017 in North America, is out
now, available first on PlayStation®4. Packed with new multiplayer
content, The Resistance DLC pack delivers three new Multiplayer
maps and an all-new War Mode multiplayer mission themed to reflect
the spirit of the citizen soldiers who fought for freedom during
World War II. The DLC pack also features The Darkest Shore, the
terrifying new chapter in the twisted Nazi Zombies saga. In
addition, this first DLC pack from Call of Duty: WWII, lands during
The Resistance community event (January 23 through February 27), a
five-week celebration that features new gear, game modes and Supply
Drop content available to all players.
In The Resistance DLC pack, players will fight in iconic World
War II locations, from Paris to Prague, all centered around
historic uprisings in three new Multiplayer maps and an all-new
high-octane War Mode map.
Valkyrie – Located in the Masurian
Woods, East Prussia, this map was inspired by The Wolf’s Lair – The
Fuhrer's Eastern-front headquarters during Operation Barbarossa –
the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. This is a medium-sized map
with multiple overwatch positions and mounted machine guns.
Anthropoid – Based in Prague,
Czechoslovakia, this map is inspired by Operation Anthropoid – the
famous assassination attempt on a high-ranking German officer
during World War II. This map is divided by a river, with
long-flanking paths that can be used by snipers for ranged
attacks.
Occupation – In this remake of a
classic Call of Duty® map, players battle through the streets and
shops of German-occupied Paris during WWII. Nearby homes and
storefronts lend defensive positions for ambush and recovery.
Operation Intercept – Outside of St
Lo, France, the next War Mode experience, developed in partnership
with Raven Software, leads you on an urban rescue mission to save
Resistance fighters being transported by train. The first objective
on the Allied side is freeing the fighters, followed by the
destruction of key communication equipment, and ends with stopping
a train.
The Resistance DLC pack also features the newest horror-filled
chapter in the co-operative Nazi Zombies saga, The Darkest Shore.
Only days after the horrific disaster of Mittelburg, the crew has
received intel that suggests Doktor Straub is on an island just
north of Germany. Blanketed in fog, this island is surrounded by
enemy air and sea power – and crawling with the Undead. Marie,
Drostan, Olivia and Jefferson will need to battle all this and more
to uncover the mysteries hidden within.
As part of The Resistance community event, which kicked off on
Jan. 23 and runs through Feb. 27, all Call of Duty: WWII players
will have access to the new “Resistance Division.” The new
Resistance Division embodies the skills and experience of citizen
soldiers from across Europe, and features the new Tactical Knife
Skill, a new Division-specific 9mm SAP Pistol, as well as perks
that can alter the tide of battle, such as the ability to scramble
enemy maps.
The Resistance community event offers players new Supply Drop
content and new weapons and uniforms used in Resistance uprisings
across war-torn Europe during World War II. Fans can also
participate in new game mode events, including the limited-time
return of Prop Hunt and Demolition game modes, along with rotating
2XP playlists across Multiplayer, War Mode and Zombies. Resistance
Supply Drops can be earned for free simply by playing Call of Duty:
WWII during the event. Players can return to Headquarters each week
of the event for a free Resistance Supply Drop, as well as receive
special Orders and Contracts that grant new weapons, Supply Drops,
XP boosts, Armory Credits and more. Players can also purchase
Resistance Supply Drops using Call of Duty Points in-game currency.
The Resistance community event features all-new, limited-time
Resistance-themed Collection Rewards.
