Call of Duty® XP is now open. The sold-out Call of Duty® fan
celebration kicked-off this morning with a global briefing
featuring the world premiere of Call of Duty®: Infinite
Warfare multiplayer trailer, followed by the announcement that
Activision will release a Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
multiplayer beta starting October 14th, first on PlayStation®4.
Fans who pre-order the game on PlayStation®4 will get first access
to the Beta*, further details to be announced shortly. Activision
also shared that all 16 of the original multiplayer maps will be
coming to Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® Remastered, the
previously announced 10 maps at launch, and the additional six from
the hit original will be made available in December at no
additional cost**.
Activision also revealed that Jackal Assault, the first-ever
Call of Duty PlayStation®VR experience, will be offered later this
year to Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare players on PS4 as a
free, added bonus. Jackal Assault immerses fans in the cockpit and
puts them in control of a Jackal, the personal fighter jet in
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Fans attending Call of Duty
XP will get the chance to play Jackal Assault on-site at the
event.
“There’s a ton of excitement here at Call of Duty XP. This is a
once-in-a-lifetime experience for Call of Duty fans to celebrate
and enjoy everything this franchise has to offer,” said Rob
Kostich, EVP and GM, Call of Duty, Activision. “We’re continuing
the momentum from XP next month as fans around the world will be
able to join us online to play in the Call of Duty: Infinite
Warfare multiplayer beta, which will give fans a chance to play
multiplayer early and will help us to further polish the MP
experience as we head into launch.”
The epic fan-celebration started with the global briefing, which
featured the world premiere of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s
highly-anticipated multiplayer mode, as well as Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare Remastered and new content for Call of Duty®:
Black Ops III. The presentation was streamed live in HD on
www.twitch.tv/callofduty, www.youtube.com/callofduty,
www.callofduty.com and www.MLG.tv/callofdutyxp and will be
available on VOD later this weekend.
Added Kostich, “The Jackal Assault is a cool, fun extension
that’s inspired by Infinite Warfare. We’re excited to not only
share this experience with Call of Duty XP fans this weekend, but
give it for free to all Infinite Warfare PS4 players later this
year.”
