SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Jul. 9, 2019 –
The new community event for Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4
– Operation Apocalypse Z – is available now on Playstation®4,
with other platforms to follow. Operation
Apocalypse Z unleashes hordes of
the undead across the game as it channels the series’ Zombies legacy through
updates across the entire game. The new content includes a fan-favorite
Specialist “Reaper” who makes its Black Ops 4 debut, three Multiplayer
maps, new eerie atmosphere in the Blackout map, and a variety of themed
personalization items and gear to acquire. Additionally, players will return to
Treyarch’s epic Aether story in the new action-packed Zombies Experience, Alpha
Omega.
“We have a team of talented
storytellers that have been helping to craft Zombies experiences for more than
10 years, and we wanted to bring that imagination to every mode of Black Ops
4, which is why we’re excited to put Operation Apocalypse Z
in player’s hands,” said Dan Bunting, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch. “This is a
veteran team that strives to do their best work with each new experience and
this is no exception – Operation Apocalypse Z represents a ton of
creativity and passion from everyone to really immerse fans in our unique world
of the undead.”
“We can’t wait for the Zombies
faithful to experience Alpha Omega, which marks the return of the Aether
story and the opportunity to play as both the Primis and Ultimis crews – it’s a
unique mix of gameplay that has truly been inspired by our community of fans,”
said Mark Gordon, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch. “This map is over four times larger
and features more dialogue than the Nuketown you’ve played before, and combined
with everything else that’s coming in Operation Apocalypse Z,
this is our most exciting season to date.”
Operation Apocalypse Z’s free, new content
includes:
- New Blackout Updates – As the Zombie apocalypse has begun,
sunny skies have departed in favor of something more un-deadly in the main
Blackout map. Zombies have leeched most of the life from the landscape forcing
the alive to take refuge and survive amongst a deep fog and familiar Zombies
sights and sounds. Additionally, the Alcatraz map debuts a nighttime
atmospheric change complete with new Zombie enemies. Coming later in the
Operation, brand-new Zombie-themed Blackout modes will also debut in the game,
including Pandemic and Alcatraz Horde.
- New Specialist – Available now in both Multiplayer
and Blackout, Reaper makes his Black Ops 4 debut. Reaper is
a cutting-edge combat robot with a robust fighting style wielding the Scythe,
a high-powered, two-handed minigun unleashing heavy gunfire. This fan-favorite
Specialist is also equipped with a Radar Shroud that prohibits enemies from
using their minimap and deploys a scrambling device to block out areas on
enemies’ minimap.
- New Black Market Gear – The Black Market has been
restocked with a variety of new Zombie-themed Specialist outfits and
personalization items, weapon camos and gestures for Operation Apocalypse
Z. This includes new weapons like the Reaver C86 Crossbow, Black
Ops III’s Argus Shotgun, Daemon 3XB Mastercraft, MOG 12 MKll and Vendetta
MKll that players can acquire and master.
- New Zombies Features – Operation Apocalypse Z introduces
new Perks and Elixirs across all Zombies maps, providing new variations on
gameplay once they’re equipped and activated.
In addition to the Operation
Apocalypse Z free content, owners of the Black Ops Pass gain access to
more new content, available first on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment
system:
- New Multiplayer Map, Der Schatten – A snowy map set
in a village high in the Austrian Alps that sits in the shadows of the castle
from the Aether story Zombies experience, “Der Eisendrache.” Combat takes place
in a combination of bright and dark areas pushing player to fight in close
quarters.
- New Multiplayer Map, Remnant – A large-sized map
set in the “The Museum of Unnatural History” deep in the Louisiana marshes
where historical relics thirst for chaos and blood. Complete with a portal that
can transport players to opposite sides of the map, Remnant is
structured for mid-ranged combat where longer sightlines flank the exterior of
the museum.
- Remastered Multiplayer Map, Havana – Reimagined from
the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, Havana is a medium-sized
map set in a sunny Cuban city during the Cold War tensions. The map is designed
in a Z-shape resulting in a combination of close and long-ranged firefights.
- New Zombies Experience, Alpha Omega – Continuing the
Aether storyline, Alpha Omega lets players jump in as the original,
fan-favorite Zombies characters from both the Primis and Ultimis cast, playable
together for the first time ever. This allows fans to gain new insight into the
ever-twisting story as the timelines converge. Players will fight off hordes of
new Zombie enemies, solve challenges, and discover new Easter eggs in a wild
experience up to the very end.
