CALL OF DUTY: WWII ‘UNITED FRONT’ DLC PACK LAUNCHES TODAY

Call of Duty: WWII ushers in Summer Gaming Sessions with Three Exciting

New Multiplayer Maps, an All-New War Mode Mission ‘Operation Supercharge,’ and Nazi Zombies saga update ‘The Tortured Path’

June 27, 2018 – Starting today, Allied forces retaliate as players come together to fight the enemy in Call of Duty®: WWII – United Front, available now, first on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. With today’s release of the third expansion pack for Call of Duty: WWII, players will experience three new Multiplayer maps that take place in iconic and historic World War II locales, an all-new War Mode Multiplayer mission set in North Africa and the newest Nazi Zombies saga chapter, The Tortured Path, where players must attempt to slow the Axis advance of the Undead.

Market Garden – One of the largest airborne operations in the European Theatre, players must maintain control of an Allied mansion base. Set in the Netherlands, this fast-paced map brings intense tight-quarters combat with gunfights waiting around every corner. At the centre of the map is a once-opulent mansion, now devastated in shambles.

Monte Cassino – Join the Italian campaign in this new Multiplayer map that takes place at a critical site of historic Allied assaults. Nestled below a mountaintop monastery, this war-torn village offers rich verticality with rooftop vantage points and sneaky flank paths along the cliffs. Players will need to stay on their toes while they traverse this map, as threats can come from anywhere.

Stalingrad – Based on the largest confrontation in World War II history, this medium-to-large-sized map features two main bases located on opposite sides of a demolished industrial district. Snipers can focus on securing key perches to control the map’s centre, while run-and-gunners can sneak through the underground sewers to flank behind enemy lines.

Operation Supercharge – Named after the Second Battle of El Alamein, Allied Forces must push the enemy across Africa and away from their southern defensive position in this all-new War Mode mission. Allies must air-drop into Tunisia and push into a Nazi-occupied village to capture key supplies, then cripple the enemy by detonating a key transport bridge. Players then make the final knock-out blow by capturing entrenched Axis fortifications.

The United Front DLC pack also features the co-operative Nazi Zombies saga update, The Tortured Path. As Allied forces crumble under the relentless advance of the Final Reich, General Rideau decides to take one last, dangerous gambit: to personally lead a small, unmarked caravan across the 2,000 miles of smoldering, infested land that stands between Berlin and the Allied-controlled port of Malaga. From there, he and his crew face a treacherous voyage across icy southern waters and U-boat blockades in a mission to transport the remaining pieces of Emperor Barbarossa’s legendary sword to the edge of the world. Players must uncover the lost forges of ancient Thule, make the sword whole again, and also deliver a final death to the Undead in this all-new Zombies experience.

Call of Duty: WWII – United Front DLC pack is available now, first on PlayStation®4 system for a suggested retail price of AUD$19.95 / NZD$22.95. United Front DLC Pack is also included in Call of Duty: WWII DLC Season Pass*, featuring all four DLC Packs planned for the year, as part of the discounted bundle offered at a suggested retail price of AUD$64.95 / NZD$69.95 – a discount of $15 off the individual purchase of all four DLC Map Packs (discount based on four individual DLC Map Packs at a suggested retail price of $20 each).

• Battlefield-Clearing Attacks: Powerful area-of-effect attacks, including the visually-stunning Balder’s Vengeance, let the gunner mow down hordes of enemies without breaking a sweat.
• Big-Ass Guns: This class is defined by the arcannon—a huge weapon with huge damage potential. Why settle on small when you can go big?
• Summoned Constructs: With her ability to place turrets and constructs around the battlefield, the gunner never has to fight alone. It’s like having a party with you wherever you go!
• Heavy Armor: With huge guns and heavy armor, the gunner is a tank. Fight with ranged attacks or hit hard from up close. The ability to mix up attacks keeps enemies guessing until they’re blown away.

The gunner is now available for TERA console players and is 100% free. For more details on the new class please visit tera.enmasse.com, and follow the game on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

26^th June, 2018 – Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch is now compatible with Nintendo Labo, Nintendo’s new line of interactive make, play, and discover experiences. Grab the handlebars and race your way to victory using the Toy-Con Motorbike from the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit*. After installing a free software update** for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, available today, you’ll be able to select the Motorbike as a compatible controller from the main menu. You can watch the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – now compatible with Nintendo Labo! trailer on the official Nintendo Australia YouTube channel.

Players can now play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in TV mode using the Toy-Con Motorbike, or insert the Nintendo Switch console directly into the Motorbike’s dashboard to play it on-the-go. Whether using Toy-Con Motorbike or any of the other supported controllers, additional driving options such as Smart Steering and auto-accelerate are available to help newcomers get back on track. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the first game outside of Nintendo Labo software to receive Toy-Con support, and more titles will be compatible with Nintendo Labo in the future.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, familiar characters from the Super Mario series compete in races set around the world of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. Start your engines, put the pedal to the metal, and get ready for the kind of thrilling racing action that only Mario Kart can provide. Find out more at the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe website.

Meanwhile, the search for Australia and New Zealand’s greatest Nintendo Labo creations and customisations has begun with the launch of the Nintendo Labo Creators Contest for Australia and New Zealand. Whether you’re a master inventor or a creative spirit, anyone can take part and have a chance to win some amazing prizes, including a special Nintendo Switch system. For this contest, entrants can submit their creations in two different age categories:

• Kids: In this category, children aged 11 and under can submit an original Toy-Con creation or customisation. You can even get some help from a parent or guardian.
• Teens / Adults: For kids at heart, aspiring Toy-Con creators and decorators aged 12 and above can submit their creations in this category.

Creators in either category are tasked with either submitting a new, original Toy-Con project using Toy-Con Garage, a mod of an existing Toy-Con, or your own uniquely decorated Toy-Con. All submissions will be reviewed based on spirit, creativity and construction quality. Got an idea for your own original Toy-Con creation? Grab some cardboard sheets, dive into Toy-Con Garage and see where your creativity takes you. Or break out the pens, paints, stickers, stencils and anything you can find, and show us your one-of-a-kind customised Toy-Con designs.

Submissions will start on the Nintendo Labo website on 19^th July and close on 7^th September, but entrants can start preparing right now. The overall winner in each category will receive a very special prize: a special Nintendo Switch system designed to look like cardboard. Finalists will receive a Joy-Con Pair customised with the same design. More details can be found on the Nintendo Labo website.

Nintendo Labo is a new line of interactive make, play and discover experiences designed to inspire creative minds and playful hearts alike. Together with the Nintendo Switch system, the Nintendo Labo kits provide the tools and technology to make fun DIY creations, play games with your creations, and discover how Nintendo Switch technology shapes ideas into reality.*** Find out more at the Nintendo Labo website.
