Call Of Duty: World At War

London, UK – 13th November, 2008 – Check your gear and get ready to move out to your nearest retailer, as Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and developer Treyarch prepare to unleash Call of Duty: World at War in retail stores nationwide tomorrow.

Call of Duty: World at War takes players to a grittier WWII than ever before – from facing down Imperial Japanese Banzai charges and guerilla tactics in the Pacific – to exacting ruthless revenge as you beat back the enemy all the way to the steps of Berlin one bloody inch at a time. In addition to introducing franchise-first four-person cooperative gameplay, Call of Duty: World at War serves up a host of new enemies/tactics and a cache of weapons, like the flamethrower. The highly-anticipated title also delivers deep multiplayer action that features squad and vehicular combat, as well as a lush audio landscape set in 5.1 surround sound, accompanying cinematically-intense, high-definition graphics.

“Our goal from Day 1 has been to make sure that Call of Duty: World at War re-defines players’ expectations of World War II first-person action,” said Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia. “From cooperative gameplay to a multiplayer that combines vehicle and squad combat, along with a host of new weapons, settings and enemies, we’ve left no stone unturned to make this the best experience possible.”

For the first time in the franchise, Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-op, bringing fresh meaning to the “No One Fights Alone” mantra. Call of Duty: World at War co-op features up to four-players online, or two-player local split-screen, allowing gamers to experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The title also incorporates traditional multiplayer components such as challenges, rankings and online stats into the co-op campaign for deeper re-playability and advanced gameplay.

Call of Duty: World at War is rated 15 by the BBFC and is available from 14th November on Xbox 360™ and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, the Windows® PC and the Nintendo® Wii™. Call of Duty: World at War is also available for the Nintendo DS™, developed by n-Space, and is rated 16+ by PEGI.
