Invasion DLC Pack Delivers Four New MP Maps and the Next Chapter in Extinction’s Four-Part Episodic Storyline

More Unique Field Orders Debut in New DLC Pack, Including The Death Mariachi, Anubis – the Half Jackal/Half Human Protector of the Dead and Ghost Pirates

London, UK – 29th May, 2014 – Call of Duty® fans should mark their calendars and prepare for Invasion, as Activision and Infinity Ward today revealed the third massive DLC Pack for Call of Duty®: Ghosts. Launching 3^rd June first, exclusively on Xbox Live for Xbox One and Xbox 360, Call of Duty®: Ghosts Invasion delivers four new multiplayer maps from unique locales around the world, each with hidden secrets and unique Field Orders. Invasion also includes “Episode 3: Awakening,” the next thrilling chapter in Extinction’s four-part episodic narrative taking players deep into an alien underworld to discover the truth behind the Cryptid attack.

Invasion is available a la carte or as part of the Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass, which gives fans access to all four epic Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Packs** planned for release in 2014 – Onslaught, Devastation, Invasion and Nemesis.

Invasion’s four new small-to-medium-sized multiplayer maps feature the fast-paced gameplay Call of Duty fans crave, each one donning a distinct look, feel and unique killstreak. “Departed” is a medium-sized map set in a rural Mexican town during the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration. The colourfully decorated streets, vendor carts and storefronts provide ample cover for run-and-gunners and players that complete the map’s unique Field Order will unlock the Death Mariachi killstreak. Armed with dual-wielding pistols, the Death Mariachi settles scores, with each kill turning enemy players into another member of the band and a temporary squad mate.

“Pharaoh” is the abandoned archaeological site of an ancient Egyptian palace. Players will have to be on the lookout for collapsing monuments and urns full of flesh-eating scarabs, among other surprises in this multi-level map. Inside the palace, gamers will battle through multiple chambers ideal for close-quarters combat and short-range weapons, all under the watchful eye of Anubis, the half-jackal/half-human, protector of the dead, who will handsomely reward players who unlock this map’s Field Order.

Invasion’s third map, “Mutiny,” transports players to a remote Caribbean island harbouring an eerie pirate hideout complete with abandoned trading posts and prison cells. Speed and stealth are a must as players navigate the narrow and intertwining pathways. However, let ye be warned that gamers taking up positions on the pirate ship moored in the centre of the map will become vulnerable to enemy fire from the numerous flanking routes created by the map’s horseshoe shaped dock. Players that unlock “Mutiny’s” Field Order will find themselves escorted by two ethereal ghost pirates, who will happily send enemy combatants down to Davey Jones’ locker on their behalf.

Invasion’s fourth multiplayer map is a refreshed version of the fan-favourite map from Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2, “Favela.” Since its original release, the Brazilian shantytown has seen substantial change. Buildings once under construction are now complete, while others have crumbled into a state of disrepair. Players must avoid falling to their death as they traverse the map from one building to the next, with ramshackle scaffolding creating varied pathways between structures and enemy snipers taking advantage of the long sightlines. Players who complete the Field Order in “Favela” will be able to call in heavy air support from a nearby Y-8 Gunship to bring the rain with a 105mm cannon, a 40mm auto-cannon and a 25mm cannon.

Anchoring the Call of Duty: Ghosts Invasion DLC Pack is the next instalment in the game’s Extinction mode episodic narrative, “Episode 3: Awakening.” In Awakening, the team descends into the perilous alien underworld to strike at the subterranean fortress of the Ancestors – the mysterious puppet-masters behind the Cryptid invasion. Armed with a range of new hi-tech weapons and equipment, the team must penetrate a series of defensive barriers to reach the Ark and unlock the secrets of the Ancestors’ psychic powers. As the final battle draws closer, the fate of the Earth and the future of the human race hang in the balance.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Invasion will be available 3^rd June first, exclusively on Xbox Live for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, with other platforms to follow. Call of Duty: Ghosts is rated PEGI 16. Call of Duty: Ghosts Invasion is published by Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq:  ATVI) and developed by Infinity Ward.

Gripping, Otherworldly Tale
Precarious situations quickly befall Kei and his group of friends as they soon find themselves inexplicably whisked away to a mysterious weapon shop. There they meet an undertaker whose payment for strange, otherworldly weapons may require more than they’re willing to offer! As they progressively delve further into the "Inner Realm," a spiritual plane that is connected to our "Outer Realm," it becomes apparent that the two worlds are more than just connected: the events of one affect the other!

Intense, Risk-Reward Battle System
Each turn, players will find themselves challenged to balance the use of each character’s MIND. MINDs are spiritual beings who act as shields and are generally more powerful than the characters themselves, but should a character run out of Mind Points while using one, they will be left temporarily vulnerable. Continue your MIND onslaught against the strange spirits of the Inner Realm, or take a more defensive stance and recharge your Mind Points? The choice is yours, but choose carefully!

Hauntingly Atmospheric World
All manner of demons, spirits, and creatures of Japanese mythology await you in the unsettlingly dark dungeons of the Inner Realm. Music with a ghostly tinge accompanies you on your journey as you leave the familiar behind. Always prepare for the worst, because in Mind Zero you never know what sort of vicious demons could be lurking nearby!

•    Dual audio support: Japanese and English!
•    30-50+ Hours of gameplay: uncover the
     secrets of the Inner Realm!
•    Conveniently speed up battles on the fly.
•    Open Gallery Mode to unwind: listen to music and
     check out the myriad pieces of art you’ve unlocked.

Mind Zero is rated Teen (T) by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. For more information, visit www.esrb.org.
