Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Absolution Coming First to PS4 on July 6th
Activision and Infinity Ward today unveiled the first official details of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Absolution, the third DLC Map Pack for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The map pack features four new multiplayer maps and a new zombies co-op experience called Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, set in a ‘50s era beach town where a government science experiment has gone horribly wrong. Absolution is scheduled to release July 6th, first on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 4, with other platforms to follow.
Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, the next chapter of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare zombies experience, once again features the return of Willard Wyler, the enigmatic movie director villain portrayed with voice and likeness by Paul Reubens. Wyler has trapped the four protagonists inside an all-new horror film, set in the 1950s and in the style of the Creature Feature films of the era. Players will fight 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, 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 action, with Seth Green as “the Scientist;” Ike Barinholtz as “the Rebel;” Jay Pharoah as “the Soldier;” and Sasheer Zamata as “the School Girl,” all making a return from 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.
