TOM CLANCY’S THE DIVISION® EXPANSION II: SURVIVAL NOW AVAILABLE ON PLAYSTATION®4 

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA December 21, 2016 — Ubisoft has announced that Tom Clancy’s The Division second expansion, Survival is now available on PlayStation®4. Survival is included in the game’s Season Pass but can also be purchased separately for $22.95. The new Survival expansion will also bring support for the PlayStation®4 Pro, by taking advantage of its faster CPU and GPU to render at a consistently high framerate.

As New York is hit by a devastating snowstorm, The Division’s agents hear rumours of a potential cure located in the Dark Zone that could help stem the spread of the pandemic. But their chopper is brought down by the intensifying weather before reaching its destination.

Players must search for the cure in these unforgiving conditions and find a way to extract it from the chaos. They will need to find warm clothes, food water, medicine, and to craft supplies in order to succeed. But they are not alone out there, the fight for resources will be fierce as 23 other players are struggling to survive and to find the cure. Players will also face the Hunter: this new enemy is faster, dangerously well prepared, and perfectly equipped to fight The Division.

In Survival, players will be able to choose to enable either PvP or PvE. In PvP, while the Rogue mechanic does not apply, agents can fight against or cooperate with other players in every corner of New York, even outside of the Dark Zone. As PvP comes with additional risks, it also comes with additional rewards, in the form of a bonus multiplier to the total score. In PvE, players will be able to play in cooperation with other players, and PvP is disabled, even in the Dark Zone.

CALL OF DUTY: INFINITE WARFARE SABOTAGE COMING FIRST TO PLAYSTATION®4 ON JANUARY 31

CALL OF DUTY: INFINITE WARFARE SABOTAGE COMING FIRST TO PLAYSTATION®4 ON JANUARY 31 

First Epic DLC Map Pack Features a Brand New ‘90s Themed Zombies Co-Op Mode “Rave in the Redwoods” and Four Unique Multiplayer Maps 

Season Pass Available Now, Best Value for All Future DLC Map Packs 

Sydney, Australia – December 21, 2016 – Fresh Call of Duty content is coming, as Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. [NASDAQ: ATVI], and Infinity Ward have released new details for the upcoming first DLC Map Pack for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Sabotage. Featuring four intense, new multiplayer maps, each with its own distinctive look and feel, and a new zombies co-op experience called Rave in the Redwoods, set in a ‘90s abandoned lakeside summer camp, Sabotage releases January 31, 2017 first on the PlayStation® Network for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, with other platforms to follow.

Fans can watch a preview of the content in a behind-the-scenes sneak peek here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXTAnlLQz6I.

“We’re excited to introduce a new chapter to our zombies experience, taking players into a spooky 1990s summer camp straight out of the horror films of the decade,” said Dave Stohl, Studio Head of Infinity Ward. “We’re also delivering four new, diverse multiplayer maps, including a remake of the Modern Warfare® 2 classic, Afghan. There’s a tremendous variety of new content that we think every player will enjoy.”

Rave in the Redwoods, the next thrilling chapter of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare zombies experience, continues the macabre narrative while transporting players into a new decade: the 1990s. Willard Wyler, the enigmatic movie director villain, returns and has trapped the protagonists inside another one of his twisted horror films. The four playable characters from the original story also return, but with fresh, over-the-top roles, as they learn more about Wyler’s evil plot while fighting all-new varieties of the undead in an abandoned, lakeside summer camp where zombie ravers have taken over and turned the grounds into a techno-fueled illusion. Rave in the Redwoods is a tense, spooky thrill ride with shocking twists, surprises, and a slew of new Easter eggs for players to discover.

In addition to the Rave in the Redwoods zombies content, Sabotage will also include four new multiplayer maps:

  • Noir – A dark, grimy city map inspired by futuristic Brooklyn at night, Noir is a classic three-lane map set against a backdrop of a dystopian future, filled with cafes and parks surrounding a brutal downtown warzone.
  • Neon – A virtual training center designed for urban warfare, Neon is a unique, digitised battle arena where cars and other structures spawn out of thin air and enemies dissolve into hundreds of pixels when defeated. Middle lane sightlines will cater to long-range players while the outsides of the map allow for quick counter-attacks in close-quarter action.
  • Renaissance – Set in Northern Italy, Renaissance pits players against each other on the narrow streets of Venice surrounded by classic architecture and buildings that promote continuous action through the canals and neighbourhoods of this iconic city.
  • Dominion – A re-imagining of the classic Afghan map from Modern Warfare 2, now set on Mars, Dominion retains all the memorable landmarks and gameplay of the original, anchored by the crashed ship in the center, with a few enhancements designed to take advantage of the new movement system.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Sabotage DLC Map Pack is available for a great value via the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Season Pass, which can be purchased on its own or obtained as part of the Legacy Pro or Digital Deluxe editions of the game. Season Pass gives discounted access to all four Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare DLC Map Packs released during 2017 (discount based on a Season Pass suggested retail price of AUD$64.95 / NZD$69.95, and four individual DLC Map Packs at a suggested retail price of AUD$19.95 / NZD$22.95 each). Season Pass owners will also receive 10 Rare Supply Drops upon purchase plus 1,000 bonus Salvage Credits to craft new prototype weapons.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Sabotage releases on January 31, 2017 first for the PlayStation 4, with other platforms to follow. The game is rated MA15+ for Mature (Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Suggestive Themes).

Have a Hair-Whipping Good Time to 30 Songs from the Peppy 2D Platformer on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita; Wii U™ Edition Releases on December 27

Torrance, Calif. — December 20, 2016 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that the highly-anticipated, crowdfunded action platformer developed by WayForward, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, is now available in North America.

The Wii U™ system “Risky Beats” edition will be available on December 27.

To celebrate the popular indie series’ first full HD release today, the limited “Risky Beats” retail edition of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is packaged with a musical selections CD containing 30 songs from the game’s soundtrack. WayForward launched the digital PS4™ system and Wii U versions today on the PlayStation®Store and Nintendo eShop, respectively, for $19.99. XSEED Games has launched the digital “PS Vita” system release, which is now available from the PlayStation®Store, also for $19.99.

“After 20 years of working on the Shantae series (for Game Boy, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS), this will be her first outing that’s been created for home consoles,” said Matt Bozon, Creative Director at WayForward and creator of the Shantae series. “The dev team has brought Sequin Land to life using an exciting new visual style that mixes 3D environments and hand drawn characters. It’s a labor of love that was funded by fans and developed with fans – but made for everyone to enjoy! On behalf of WayForward and our Backers, we can’t wait to show you what we’ve created together!”

Following three highly successful releases with Shantae, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge, and Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero reacquaints players with the cast of Shantae in full HD. The magical world of Sequin Land is more vibrant than ever with high-definition graphics that retain the charm of the original 2D hand-drawn sprites the series is known for. Shantae, the spirited young half-genie, must once again defend Scuttle Town as the pirate captain and self-proclaimed Queen of the Seven Seas, Risky Boots, plots to steal a newly discovered limitless source of power.

Shantae has previously protected her hometown from all forms of evil including steam-powered pirates, undead evildoers, and militaristic madmen, and is ready to take on Risky Boots with her trademark Hair Whip attack and Belly Dance moves which give her the power to transform into eight different creatures. Non-stop action with immersive 2.5D environments and a new relic system give novice and expert players a uniquely tailored platforming experience. All of Sequin Land becomes a fully explorable world — after conquering massive bosses, the Arcade-style action stages can be revisited to discover new items and secrets based on experience gained.
