Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Skylanders Trap Team and Destiny Showcase Blockbuster Lineup
"This year's E3 has been years in the making for us," said
Activision's E3 Slate Includes:
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Developed by Sledgehammer
Games, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare delivers gamers an
immersive and compelling narrative, jaw-dropping visuals and, for the
first time in Call of Duty, exoskeleton gameplay that will
redefine how people play the game. Players become the advanced soldier
enabled with the power of the exoskeleton, an advanced arsenal of
never-before-seen weaponry, new abilities and new gameplay mechanics.
The first Call of Duty to benefit from a three-year development
cycle, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is built
specifically for the next generation consoles. The game takes place in a
future setting that immerses players into an emotional journey with a
new cast of characters poised to set a new bar for the franchise. The
title is scheduled for release on
Destiny - From Bungie, the creators of Halo®, and
Activision, the company that brought you Call of Duty, comes Destiny,
an epic, action-packed adventure set in a familiar but mysterious
universe. Destiny delivers a new way to play
first-person action games in a story-driven universe filled with single
player, cooperative, competitive, public, and social activities, all
seamlessly connected and a vast, persistent universe, creating the
world's first "Shared World Shooter." In Destiny, gamers
become Guardians of the last city on Earth, able to wield incredible
powers and explore the far reaches of our solar system. The game will be
available on
Skylanders Trap Team - Developer Toys for Bob, creators of
the Toys-to-Life™ phenomenon, return with another exciting innovation
with Skylanders
Trap Team. The newest installment to the Skylanders
franchise will reverse the magic of bringing toys-to-life, letting kids
take characters out of the digital world and bring them into the
physical world. In Skylanders Trap Team, Portal Masters
seek out and defeat the most wanted villains in all of Skylands, pulling
them out of the game and into living rooms by capturing them in Traps.
Players can then send villains back into the game where they play as
them to fight for good. Skylanders Trap Team will include
the Traptanium Portal™, a new ring of magical energy that enables kids
to not only bring their Skylanders to life, but also capture villains
using the new Traps. Skylanders Trap Team introduces new
heroes known as Trap Masters and will be available on
