Kevin Smith Set for New Call of Duty Zombies DLC
Activision and Infinity Ward this week revealed a new trailer for the Zombies DLC for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Sabotage. You can also check out a new trailer for the upcoming DLC in the player below. This new DLC will also star geek legend Kevin Smith. There’s also a poster image you can check out below as well.
The new Zombies DLC is a 90-themed co-op mode that features Ike Barinholtz, Seth Green, Jay Pharoah, Sasheer Zamata, Paul Reubens, and Kevin Smith. Rave in the Redwoods will continue the narrative of the Infinite Warfare Zombies experience, and it will feature a new storyline where they have to fight as one of these four classic 90s characters and face a variety of the living dead in an abandoned lakeside summer camp with many twists and turns.
Smith portrays himself with both his voice and likeness for the DLC. He’s been thrust into a horror film helmed by Willard Wyler, the enigmatic movie director villain played with voice and likeness by Paul Reubens. Now, Smith has been left for dead in the movie, but through a series of creepy events, he can help players attempt to escape the campgrounds where zombie ravers have taken over and turned the site into a techno-fueled nightmare.
Kevin Smith stated: “I told my buddy Jason (Mewes) I was going to be in Call of Duty and he wept tears of joy. I used to play Pitfall just because I wanted to be that thin little man jumping over crocodiles, something I could never be in the real world, so ever since I was a little kid I always dreamed of being in a video game.”
Additionally, the Sabotage DLC includes the four multiplayer maps:
- Dominion – A re-imagining of the classic Afghan map from Modern Warfare® 2, now set on Mars, Dominion retains all the memorable landmarks and gameplay of the original, anchored by the crashed ship in the center, with a few enhancements designed to take advantage of the new movement system.
- Renaissance – Set in Northern Italy, Renaissance pits players against each other on the narrow streets of Venice surrounded by classic architecture and buildings that promote continuous action through the canals and neighborhoods of this iconic city.
- Noir – A dark, grimy city map inspired by futuristic Brooklyn at night, Noir is a classic three-lane map set against a backdrop of a dystopian future, filled with cafes and parks surrounding a brutal downtown warzone.
- Neon – A virtual training center designed for urban warfare, Neon is a unique, digitized battle arena where cars and other structures spawn out of thin air and enemies dissolve into hundreds of pixels when defeated. Middle lane sightlines will cater to long-range players while the outsides of the map allow for quick counter-attacks in close-quarter action.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare – Sabotage will be available on January 31. The DLC will hit the PlayStation 4 first, and then it will be available on other platforms later on.
