Modern Warfare Gets 16 Maps and Infinite Warfare Gets A Beta
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.
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.
The epic fan-celebration started with the global briefing (see video above), 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.
Call of Duty XP represents the biggest celebration of the largest console gaming franchise in the world; and is hosted by Activision. The event takes place at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., today through September 4.
Inside, the arena is filled with fans eager to cheer on their favorite teams in the Call of Duty World League Championship, presented by PlayStation 4, as teams attempt to survive four days of intense competition playing Black Ops III, and vie for their share of the $2 million prize pool, the biggest prize purse in Call of Duty history.
Call of Duty XP precedes the year’s most anticipated entertainment launch on November 4th when Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, along with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered**, release worldwide on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is available in the Digital Deluxe and Legacy Editions of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
Beta starts October 14, 2016 on PS4 system; other platforms TBA.
