SANTA MONICA, Calif.,
Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Call
of Duty® gamers leave earth's atmosphere today with the release
of Rezurrection, the fourth downloadable content pack
on Xbox 360® for the best-selling first-person-shooter title,
Call of Duty®: Black Ops.
Rezurrection's stellar payload features the
never-before-seen Zombie frag-fest Moon, as well as four
remastered levels from Zombies past, an enhanced Zombies soundtrack
and new Moon theme.
Moon features outrageous new weapons, futuristic gear and
hordes of low-gravity undead beasts, delivering Black
Ops' most expansive, visceral, and otherworldly Zombies
experience yet. Meanwhile, bolstered with the firepower and visual
splendor of Black Ops, players can relive the
nightmare of "Nacht der Untoten," escape the Zombie madness in the
asylum of "Verruckt," battle back the undead Imperial Army of "Shi
No Numa," and pull the plug on "Der
Riese," the zombie factory that started it all.
"Our Zombies fans are so incredibly engaged with us in the
ongoing development of the franchise, and we're excited to deliver
them our first all-Zombies content package," said Treyarch Studio
Head, Mark Lamia.
"Rezurrection is Zombies nirvana, with four of our
best Zombies experiences, topped off with the awesome, all-new
level Moon."
Once Rezurrection is downloaded, Black
Ops will make available a free Zombies soundtrack with
three tracks never before available for purchase, and a free Moon
theme. For our fans who purchased the Black Ops Hardened or
Prestige Editions and have already downloaded the Classic Zombie
pack with re-mastered maps, the pack can be redownloaded to get
Rezurrection with Moon; and Black
Ops will make available the soundtrack and theme for
free.
Additionally, the team at Treyarch has once again partnered with
avid Call of Duty fans and rock superstars, Avenged
Sevenfold, to feature their classic track, Nightmare, in the
"Moon" level of the Rezurrection map pack.
To mark the release of Rezurrection and help kick
off the first ever Call of Duty fan celebration, Call
of Duty XP, this September 2-3, the team will host Double XP over
the Labor Day holiday weekend from
Friday, September 2 through
Monday, September 5th.
