For those excited about Call of Duty’s Infinite Warfare’s first DLC pack, owners of the PS4 version will get to experience it first. Scheduled for release on January 31, Sabotage DLC will bring in Rave in the Redwoods, a 1990s-themed zombies co-op mode.
“We’re excited to introduce a new chapter to our zombies experience, taking players into a spooky 1990s summer camp straight out of the horror films of the decade,” Dave Stohl, the studio head of Infinity Ward, shared. Further describing Call of Duty’s upcoming game mode, its official website noted the following.
“The Zombies in Spaceland characters have escaped the deadly theme park only to find themselves trapped in another of Willard Wyler’s horror films. Rave in the Redwoods throws players into an abandoned camp-turned rave party packed with terrifying Zombie enemies and classic 90’s style.”
Coming alongside Rave in the Redwoods game mode are four new multiplayer maps – Noir, Neon, Renaissance, and Dominion. Noir is a classic three-lane map of a dark, grimy and abandoned city inspired by futuristic Brooklyn while Neon is described by Venture Beat as “a virtual training center designed for urban warfare.”
Renaissance, the third map from Call of Duty’s Infinite Warfare Sabotage DLC, is set in Northern Italy, providing an “intense urban combat zone funneling fast-paced gameplay through a small, split figure eight design,” according to the official site.
Dominion, the last of the four new multiplayer maps, is a remake of the classic map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 called Afghan. “It is now set on Mars, but 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, Venture Beat explained.
Sabotage, which reportedly weighs 7.8GB, is the first of the four Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare DLC map packs slated to arrive throughout this year. The other forthcoming DLCs, just like Sabotage, can be purchased individually. COD players can also opt to avail a Season Pass for the game that will give them discounted access to all the map packs.
