Activision Launches New Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare DLC

 | Jul 06, 2017 10:12PM ET

Activision Blizzard Inc. (NASDAQ:ATVI) recently announced the availability of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Absolution on Sony’s (NYSE:SNE) PlayStation 4. This is the third DLC Map pack after Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Sabotage and Continuum.

The Absolution pack comprises four new multiplayer maps namely Bermuda, Permafrost, Fore and Ember. The pack also includes a new zombie chapter – Attack of the Radioactive Thing! – that features Cassandra Peterson as Elvira.

Infinite Warfare Sales Unimpressive

Call of Duty is one of the most significant revenue generators for Activision. The Infinite Warfare was launched in November, last year and was the first game of the franchise set beyond the territories of Earth. Makers Infinity Ward also introduced a new zombie chapter – a cooperative gaming mode – to make the game more alluring.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare received a metacritic rating of 77. However, the zombie mode and favorable rating didn’t helped sales, which were unimpressive compared with prior-year instalments.
