Sydney, Australia – January 30, 2013 – The revolution has begun! Call of Duty: Black Ops II Revolution, the first of four Downloadable Content (DLC) Map Packs for the record-setting Call of Duty: Black Ops II launches today! From Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI), and award-winning studio Treyarch, Revolution delivers an unprecedented amount of new and innovative “must-play” content, including four radically diverse multiplayer maps from around the world, as well as a new Zombies map “Die Rise.” Revolution also includes a brand-new Zombies mode “Turned,” literally turning the tables and allowing gamers to play as zombies; and a new bonus multiplayer weapon, the “Peacekeeper.” Revolution is available today, first exclusively on Xbox LIVE® for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, with other platforms to follow. Fans can purchase Revolution individually, or pick it up as part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC Season Pass discounted* bundle.
“We always strive to give our fans great new content and gameplay experiences,” said Mark Lamia, Treyarch’s Studio Head. “On the multiplayer and Zombies fronts, we’ve delivered the most expansive DLC offering in our studio’s history, with experiences fans have never seen in the franchise before: from four maps in exciting new locations with dynamic environments, to a new Zombies mode of play, to a new bonus weapon in multiplayer – it’s all there and then some.”
Revolution delivers an unparalleled amount of variety and content for all types of Call of Duty: Black Ops II players, featuring four all-new multiplayer maps set around the globe. “Downhill” is a snowy alpine chateau perfect for hectic close-quarters combat. “Mirage” is a sand-devastated luxury villa suited for all play styles, while “Hydro” is a massive hydroelectric dam in Pakistan lined with long-range vantage points perfect for sniping. And “Grind” is a skate park in Venice Beach, where players must adapt to the map’s unique ramps, bowls and curvatures as they try and take cover from enemy fire.
Zombies fans get a terrifying double-dose of undead action in Revolution. First, the new map, “Die Rise,” drops players inside a maze of crumbling skyscrapers amidst a ravaged Chinese city, where all-new Wonder Weaponry will play a crucial role as they make a valiant stand against the impending zombie hoard. Additionally, Revolution’s innovative new Zombies mode, “Turned,” flips this new fan-favourite mode around, allowing players to become the undead and play as a zombie, hunting down other players for an entirely new type of bragging rights.
