Activision has unveiled its latest DLC update for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, titled Absolution. The Absolution DLC is the third pack for Infinite Warfare and it will be available July 6 on PlayStation 4.
This time, the new DLC introduces four new multiplayer maps – Ember, Bermuda, Permafrost, and Fore. What's more, Absolution will introduce a new Zombies chapter, "Attack of the Radioactive Thing."
First, Ember is a remake of Resistance from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Adding a touch of future tech, Activision describes Ember's "surroundings include lava, gallows and a torture room, where players will want to stick close to their teammates."
Next, is Bermuda. The description describes it as, "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."
On the opposite end of tropical Bermuda is Premafrost. "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."
Finally, we have a whimsical 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."
On the Zombies side of things, the latest chapter, "Attack of the Radioactive Thing," takes the band of four in another horror film, this time set in the 1950s with new zombie enemies, this time taking place in a quiet beach town ravaged by a government experiment gone wrong.
The next action-packed 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 (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, Gotham). 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 (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 action, 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, Inside Amy Schumer) as “the School Girl,” all making a return from the ongoing story in this all-new experience.
“Our team couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce another wild, twisted zombies experience in Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, which continues the story and adds some awesome new gameplay,” said Infinity Ward Studio Head Dave Stohl. “For our multiplayer fans, we’re delivering four diverse maps that reward the different gameplay styles our community has embraced since the game launched last year. We can’t wait.”
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Absolution DLC Pack 3 arrives July 6 on PlayStation 4 and will eventually come to Xbox One and PC in a later date. Pick it up as a part of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Season Pass or separately for $14.99.
