Epic, Highly-Anticipated First DLC Pack Offers Fans New Multiplayer
Maps, War Mode Mission and Nazi Zombies Experience
Global Call of Duty Community Event Featuring New Content, New Gear
and Return of Fan-Favorite Game Modes Continues for Fans
SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Players can join the Resistance starting today as Call of Duty®:
WWII - The Resistance, the first DLC pack for the No. 1
top-selling console video game of 2017 in North America, is out now,
available first on PlayStation®4. Packed with new multiplayer content, The
Resistance DLC pack delivers three new Multiplayer maps and an
all-new War Mode multiplayer mission themed to reflect the spirit of the
citizen soldiers who fought for freedom during World War II. The DLC
pack also features The Darkest Shore, the terrifying new chapter
in the twisted Nazi Zombies saga. In addition, this first DLC pack from Call
of Duty: WWII, lands during The Resistance community
event (January 23 through February 27), a five-week celebration that
features new gear, game modes and Supply Drop content available to all
players.
In The Resistance DLC pack, players will fight in iconic
World War II locations, from Paris to Prague, all centered around
historic uprisings in three new Multiplayer maps and an all-new
high-octane War Mode map.
Valkyrie - Located in the Masurian Woods, East Prussia, this map
was inspired by The Wolf's Lair - The Fuhrer's Eastern-front
headquarters during Operation Barbarossa - the Nazi invasion of the
Soviet Union. This is a medium-sized map with multiple overwatch
positions and mounted machine guns.
Anthropoid - Based in Prague, Czechoslovakia, this map is
inspired by Operation Anthropoid - the famous assassination attempt on a
high-ranking German officer during World War II. This map is divided by
a river, with long-flanking paths that can be used by snipers for ranged
attacks.
Occupation - In this remake of a classic Call of Duty® map,
players battle through the streets and shops of German-occupied Paris
during WWII. Nearby homes and storefronts lend defensive positions for
ambush and recovery.
Operation Intercept - Outside of St Lo, France, the next War Mode
experience, developed in partnership with Raven Software, leads you on
an urban rescue mission to save Resistance fighters being transported by
train. The first objective on the Allied side is freeing the fighters,
followed by the destruction of key communication equipment, and ends
with stopping a train.
The Resistance DLC pack also features the newest horror-filled
chapter in the co-operative Nazi Zombies saga, The Darkest Shore.
Only days after the horrific disaster of Mittelburg, the crew has
received intel that suggests Doktor Straub is on an island just north of
Germany. Blanketed in fog, this island is surrounded by enemy air and
sea power - and crawling with the Undead. Marie, Drostan, Olivia and
Jefferson will need to battle all this and more to uncover the mysteries
hidden within.
As part of The Resistance community event, which kicked off on
Jan. 23 and runs through Feb. 27, all Call of Duty: WWII players
will have access to the new "Resistance Division." The new Resistance
Division embodies the skills and experience of citizen soldiers from
across Europe, and features the new Tactical Knife Skill, a new
Division-specific 9mm SAP Pistol, as well as perks that can alter the
tide of battle, such as the ability to scramble enemy maps.
The Resistance community event offers players new Supply Drop
content and new weapons and uniforms used in Resistance uprisings across
war-torn Europe during World War II. Fans can also participate in new
game mode events, including the limited-time return of Prop Hunt and
Demolition game modes, along with rotating 2XP playlists across
Multiplayer, War Mode and Zombies. Resistance Supply Drops can be
earned for free simply by playing Call of Duty: WWII during the
event. Players can return to Headquarters each week of the event for a
free Resistance Supply Drop, as well as receive special Orders and
Contracts that grant new weapons, Supply Drops, XP boosts, Armory
Credits and more. Players can also purchase Resistance Supply Drops
using Call of Duty Points in-game currency. The Resistance community
event features all-new, limited-time Resistance-themed Collection
Rewards.
