Acclaimed Studio Team at Infinity Ward to
Deliver Timeless Hero’s Journey, Immense Multiplayer Action and
Original Zombies Experience
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Legacy and

Remastered for the Ultimate Fan Package
Call of Duty® is returning to its roots for a classic, epic
battle of two armies unlike anything seen before in the
record-setting series. Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare will
launch worldwide Friday, November 4, immersing players in a war
story that, for the first time in franchise history, extends beyond
the reaches of Earth into the vast expanse of our solar system.
Published by Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI), and led by Infinity Ward,
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will also be available as the
Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition, which includes the return
of the full campaign and 10 multiplayer maps from the famed Call of
Duty® 4: Modern Warfare®, released in high-definition brilliance as
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®
Remastered*.
Infinite Warfare and the Infinite Warfare Legacy
Edition, featuring Modern Warfare® Remastered, will be
available for PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox
One, and PC.
“This year, we’re both honoring the heritage of Call of Duty
while taking players to incredible new heights," said Eric
Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “Call of Duty: Infinite
Warfare is a bold, new vision from the studio that created
the original Call of Duty and Modern Warfare, and an adventure on
an insanely epic scale that only Call of Duty could deliver.
And Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is one of the
most beloved games of all-time, reborn for a new generation. We
have lovingly remastered it with a whole new level of graphical
fidelity and realism that wasn’t possible when the original was
released. It’s going to be a great year for Call of Duty
players.”
“With Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, we are
taking Call of Duty to places fans have never experienced in the
series,” said Dave Stohl, Studio Head of Infinity Ward. “On one
hand, this game is the kind of gritty, boots on the ground,
visceral war story that Call of Duty is known for. On the other,
its future setting takes players on a journey of epic scale and
proportions, providing incredible gameplay innovations and new
experiences for our fans. This is a grand scale, old-school,
all-out war in an epic new-school setting. And it’s going to be a
hell of a lot of fun.”
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare puts storytelling front
and center in a rich, immersive narrative. Infinity Ward breaks new
ground by exploring the weight of leadership and its
responsibilities. In a desperate time of overwhelming adversity,
the player, as Captain of their own warship, must take command
against a relentless enemy. Experienced soldiers are thrust into
extraordinary circumstances that will test their training and
reveal their true character as they learn to lead and to make the
hard decisions necessary to achieve victory. The game also
introduces stunning, never before seen environments, new weaponry,
and inventive player abilities to Call of Duty. The entire campaign
– from boots-on-ground combat to piloting high speed space-fighters
– occurs as a near seamless experience with few visible loading
times, and delivers the hallmark, blockbuster franchise moments
that fans love.
For online action, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
promises to strike with maximum impact in a world where every
second counts as it delivers the future of warfare. The game’s
Multiplayer mode features an evolution of Call of Duty’s movement
system with an emphasis on front-line engagement. Additionally,
Infinite Warfare will introduce an original cooperative
Zombies mode that takes players on a wild ride through a new
storyline with unique gameplay features and mechanics. More details
about multiplayer and the new zombies experience will be announced
at a later date.
One of the most critically acclaimed titles in the series,
inspired by overwhelming community interest, Call of Duty 4: Modern
Warfare is being remastered for current generation consoles.
Executive produced by Infinity Ward and developed by Raven
Software, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered* puts
players into a modern-day action-thriller filled with the
heart-stopping moments that made it one of the most
critically-acclaimed games of all-time.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered boasts vibrant
current generation visuals, with fully improved texture resolution
and detail, high-dynamic range lighting, lit and shadowing VFX
particles, revamped animation and audio, stunning sound, and much
more. Fans will relive the full, iconic campaign as they’re
transported around the globe with Capt. Price, Gaz and Soap across
all the missions from the original game, including “All Ghillied
Up,” “Charlie Don’t Surf,” and “Crew Expendable.” Players will also
experience the online multiplayer mode that redefined Call of Duty
by introducing killstreaks, XP, Prestige and more, and battle
head-to-head in 10 fan-favorite maps from the original multiplayer
mode, including classics such as “Crash,” “Backlot” and
“Crossfire.”
“The original Modern Warfare raised the bar on video games and
forever will be remembered as one of the best. It’s an honor to be
developing the remaster and we are committed to faithfully
remastering this classic for Call of Duty fans,” stated Brian
Raffel, studio head of Raven Software.
