Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s Absolution DLC will debut on July 6, first on Playstation 4.
The new set includes four different new multiplayer maps. Actress Cassandra Peterson returns to her iconic role as Elvira in the new Zombie adventure “Attack of the Radioactive Thing!”, set in the monstrous 1950s.
June 29, 2017 – Activision and Infinity Ward revealed the first details of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Absolution, the third map pack for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the top-selling console game in the US in 2016 (excluding bundle sales with equipment). The DLC includes four new and varied multiplayer maps, as well as a new Zombie co-op adventure, Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, set in a 1950s seaside town where a government experiment goes horribly wrong. Absolution will debut on July 6, first on PlayStation Network for PlayStation 4, with other platforms expected to follow.
“Our team is wildly excited to bring another wacky and twisted zombie adventure with ‘Attack of the Radioactive Thing!’ that continues the story and adds a new element to the gameplay,” said Dave Stohl, head of Infinity Ward. “Multiplayer fans will get four different maps that offer a variety of gameplay experiences that our community has appreciated since launch last year. We can not wait!”
Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, the next action-packed zombie mode chapter in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, sees the return of Willard Wyler, the enigmatic malevolent director with the voice and appearance of Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, Gotham). Wyler has trapped the four protagonists inside an all-new monster-filled horror set in the 1950s. Players will face hordes of new zombies in the streets of a devastated seaside town where a government experiment has turned humans into carnivorous beasts and brought about a new biohazard. In addition, horror icon Elvira, played by Cassandra Peterson (Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Elvira’s Movie Macabre), will help players survive with gameplay tips and side quests in her unique style. New weapons, traps and more will spice up the well-known Call of Duty action, with actors such as Seth Green (Robot Chicken, Austin Powers) as “The Scientist”; Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Suicide Squad) as “Rebel”; Jay Pharoah (White Famous, Saturday Night Live) as “Soldier”; and Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live, Inside Amy Schumer) as “Schoolgirl”, all returning to the ongoing story in this all-new adventure.
In addition to Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, the Absolution bundle also includes four new multiplayer maps:
- Bermuda – A slum built around the remains of a shipwreck. Bermuda lets players dodge, dive and wall-run from the fish market to the lighthouse in this small to mid-game map ravaged by waves and heat.
- Permafrost – As a cityscape frozen in frost, Permafrost allows players to stay grounded and choose one of three attack paths. They will move around the map from the street to the train station, and from the homeless settlement to the ruined theater hall, fighting primarily at short distances.
- Fore – The only miniature things in this huge map are the golf courses where players will fight. Fore offers a great visual variety that everyone will feel as they move between the thickets of magical forests, huge sweet treats and giant walls of castles.
- Ember – Located near an old castle, Ember is a reimagining of the classic Resistance map from Modern Warfare 3, with an old-fashioned look modernized with technology. The environment includes lava flows, gallows and a torture chamber, where players will definitely want to stay with the team.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Absolution will be available starting July 6, first on PlayStation 4, with other platforms expected to follow. The game is rated PEGI 18 (adults only).
