Zombies dudes and dudettes rejoice. Activision Publishing, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ATVI), and Infinity Ward today unveiled ‘Zombies in Spaceland,’ the
undead survival co-op mode launching on November 4 with Call of
Duty®: Infinite Warfare. Immersing players in an all-new 1980s
setting with a most excellent soundtrack from the era, Zombies in
Spaceland transports fans into an original, action-packed storyline
where they’ll fight as one of four classic ‘80s characters, and
battle the living dead in a space-themed amusement park full of
deadly zombies, fun attractions and much more.

“Call of Duty and zombies in particular has such an incredible
history with passionate fans, which inspired us to take all the
co-op action that has made the series so great and fuse it with one
of our favorite decades in pop culture: the ’80s,” said Brian
Bright, Project Director at Infinity Ward. “Zombies in Spaceland is
an all-new zombies experience where day-glow meets fright nights.
It’s accessible for new players, but also has a deep layer of
progression, brimming with easter eggs and various game features
that will be a blast for hardcore zombies fans. We can’t wait for
fans to go hands-on this fall.”
Zombies in Spaceland tells the story of four aspiring actors who
come upon a mysterious movie theater for an audition. They’ve been
invited by director Willard Wyler, portrayed with voice and
likeness by Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, Gotham), who was
once the shining star of the horror genre. Unbeknownst to the
actors, they will be transformed into characters and transported
straight into Wyler’s film to fight against waves of zombies in a
space-themed amusement park set in the ‘80s.
Fans play as one of four ‘80s archetypes: the jock, the nerd,
the valley girl and the rapper. The characters are voiced by a
seasoned cast of comedic actors, including Seth Green (Robot
Chicken, Austin Powers), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Suicide Squad),
Jay Pharoah (Saturday Night Live, Ride Along) and Sasheer Zamata
(Saturday Night Live, Inside Amy Schumer). Additionally, players
will encounter an enigmatic DJ in the theme park, portrayed with
voice and likeness by David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider, Baywatch),
who will be an invaluable resource as they try to get out of this
horror movie alive.
