‘Call Of Duty: Ghosts’ Final DLC Is ‘Nemesis,’ Hits Xbox Next Week

Call of Duty: Ghosts for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One will wrap up its run of DLC next week with Nemesis, Activision announced Thursday. The last piece of content brings four new small to medium multiplayer episodes including one remake, plus an all new episode for the story-based Extinction co-operative mode.

Nemesis will be released to Xbox LIVE on August 5th for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions of Call of Duty: Ghosts. The PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC release will follow approximately a month later. It will be available as part of the Season Pass package or sold separately for $14.99.

Call of Duty: Ghosts hasn’t been received as well as previous entries in the series, but Infinity Ward has tried unique gimmicks for the maps such as the inclusion of Michael Myers and the Predator, plus being able to trigger special events. Nemesis lacks the surprise movie cameo but does include some sort of blizzard monster. The maps also include gimmicks like a minecart running amok and a VTOL jet that hovers around attacking enemies.

“First off I want to thank every one of our fans. The dedication of our players is overwhelming. The whole team at Infinity Ward is really excited about the release of the Nemesis and we think it’s a great way to close out what’s been a really fun DLC season,” said Mark Rubin, Executive Producer at Infinity Ward. “DLC is a great way to unleash creative new content that is often the direct result of community feedback and interaction. So thank you again to the millions of people who play Call of Duty: Ghosts every day and keep the feedback coming!”

Multiplayer Maps:

“Goldrush is set in an abandoned gold mine in the Southwest United States, where an intricate network of cavernous tunnels and perilous shafts create the ideal setting for medium to long range combat, while two mine carts race along the abandoned tracks offering players a fast way to traverse the map. Players who complete the unique field order on Goldrush will unleash a howling pack of wolves that will descend upon their enemies.

“Subzero” drops players into a frigid Canadian submarine base that has been hastily evacuated, with control room, submarine pen and research facilities all left eerily empty. Built around the traditional three-lane design, this medium-sized map harbors a mysterious terror that will decimate your enemies upon completion of the map’s unique field order.

In “Dynasty,” players are transported to a lakeside Chinese village surrounded by picturesque mountains, vivid gardens, and spectacular architecture – a serene environment that is anything but Zen-like. Multiple pathways crisscross the village in this medium map with a variety of elevation and numerous back alleys that create flanking routes. The unique field order on “Dynasty” allows players to call in an air strike of vertical takeoff fighter jets, while one lingers behind to give you unmatched air superiority.

“Showtime,” a sadistic reimagining of the smallest map in Call of Duty® history, the fan favorite map from Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare® “Shipment.” In the futuristic arena of “Showtime,” blind corners and narrow pathways provide momentary reprieve from the outright mayhem within the central square comprised of several shipping containers. Tight confines call for shotguns and SMGs. Survive long enough to be rewarded with one of three killstreaks: lethal automated gun turrets at key locations on the map, an air drop with multiple care packages or a deadly gas attack that forces the action back into the center of the arena.”

Extinction:

“Episode 4: Exodus. Following the CIF Unit’s harrowing escape from the alien underworld and the successful recovery of Dr. Cross and the cortex, the team has flown in to fight off the Cryptid army’s siege of the last bastion of human resistance. Your mission is to get key personnel to safety by restoring power to the shuttle and launching the shuttle to a low earth orbit space station. “Episode 4: Exodus” gives players unprecedented control of their escape route – choose your path, gather new intel, craft new weapons – and introduces the deadliest of enemies with a range of lethal powers, including mind control and psionic attacks – the Ancestors. As the battle for our survival draws to a close, the fate of mankind is in your hands.”
