Call of Duty®: WWII is available now digitally and at global retailers worldwide. The most anticipated multi-platform game of this holiday according to Nielsen Game Rank™, marks Call of Duty®’s return to where the franchise first began, World War II.  The new title takes players to the frontlines of the greatest military conflict ever known, through a personal story of heroism and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood, in the fight to save the world from tyranny. 

Activision’s Call of Duty: WWII also delivers a boots-on-the-ground multiplayer experience with new community-engaging features as well as a terrifying cooperative mode, Nazi Zombies. 


“Call of Duty: WWII is the right game at the right time for our fans. Returning the franchise to its gritty, boots on the ground, military roots was a big opportunity and a big responsibility. We were determined to deliver an unforgettable World War II experience, and I think we have,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision. “Our teams at Sledgehammer and Raven not only captured the epic scale and authentic atmosphere of the most brutal war ever fought, they also brought a hell of a lot of innovations—from a whole new way to play multiplayer with War Mode, to a new social space with Headquarters, to a jump-out-of-your-chair-scary Nazi Zombies mode. Whether you’re a long-time player, or totally new to the franchise, this is the game that will bring all of our fans together.”

“Call of Duty: WWII has been incredibly personal for us, with members of the Sledgehammer Games team and cast directly connected to World War II veterans. From the start, we committed ourselves to recreating the setting and locations as well as years of research to make sure we captured the spirit and tone that players will experience,” said Glen Schofield, Co-Founder and Studio Head of Sledgehammer Games. 

“Being a part of taking Call of Duty fans back to World War II has been an unforgettable privilege for all of us” added Michael Condrey, Co-Founder and Studio Head of Sledgehammer Games. “The stories of sacrifice, comradery, and selflessness demonstrated by the men and women of The Greatest Generation inspired each of us to do the very best work of our careers. We kept these humble heroes at the forefront of developing the game and we proudly share it with the Call of Duty community in their honor.”

Call of Duty: WWII is loaded with an incredible amount of content, and delivers a variety of new ways for all players to connect, compete and engage as a community across the unique modes of play.  The Call of Duty: WWII story campaign immerses players into an intense journey filled with gripping action and epic battles.  Players follow the story of Ronald “Red” Daniels, a member of the US 1^st Infantry Division, who joins British forces and the French Resistance, and battle across the beaches of Normandy, to the liberation of Paris and ultimately into Germany.

Call of Duty®: WWII multiplayer is a fast-paced, grounded and action-packed mode set in some of the most iconic locations in World War II’s European theater with an arsenal of iconic weapons and equipment to suit different play styles and innovative ways to experience the mode, including:

• War Mode: Developed in partnership with Raven Software, allows players to compete against each other as Allies and Axis forces in team-driven, objective missions.
• Divisions: Redefines create-a-class system for how players develop their WWII Multiplayer Careers by enlisting in five iconic divisions, including the first to the fight Airborne Division, sharpshooting Mountain Division, the versatile Infantry Division, heavily-equipped Armored Division, and the Expeditionary Division armed with incendiary rounds and shotguns.
• Headquarters: An evolving, shared social space for players to connect with fans and friends.

 
Nazi Zombies is an all-new, cooperative zombies mode that thrusts players into a dark and terrifying, new and unique storyline set within a mythical and mystical World War II universe.  Players embark on a chilling journey through a snowy Bavarian village in Germany, which holds a twisted secret to an unimaginable and monstrous power.

Today, Ubisoft^® announced that For Honor^® Season Four, Order & Havoc, will launch simultaneously across all available platforms on November 14^th. Order & Havoc will bring ample free new content to For Honor including the brand-new 4v4 Tribute mode, two additional heroes, two extra maps as well as new customisation items and gameplay updates. In anticipation of the launch of Season Four, For Honor will offer a free weekend from November 9^th – 12^th simultaneously across all available platforms which will include all content up to Season Three.

New Tribute mode and Dominion Ranked

Tribute introduces a brand new way to play the game, in which teamwork and communication are more important than ever. In this new objective-based mode players fight for control of three Offerings scattered throughout the map and aim to bring them to their teams’ Shrines and secure victory. Upon the presentation of an Offering, each Shrine grants the entire team a unique buff, forcing players to make strategic choices on where to place their Offerings. In addition to this new mode, For Honor competitive play will continue to expand with the introduction of Ranked Dominion mode later on within the season, allowing players to team up with friends and compete online for glory and in-game rewards.

New Maps and New Heroes

Two new maps, Market Town and The Gauntlet, enter into the fold. With the addition of two new dangerous warriors, each faction now boasts a full roster of six unique heroes:

·        Aramusha (Samurai Hybrid) – Wielding dual katanas, the Aramusha use their blades for both offence and defence. Navigating the battlefield carefully, they are capable of dodging and attacking quickly. The Aramusha capitalise on the mistakes of their opponents and punish them with a never ending flow of fast attacks in every direction.

·        Shaman (Viking Assassin) – Equipped with a hatchet and a dagger, Shamans utilise these two different weapons with quick and deadly precision. They are fierce and aggressive warriors who are strongest when on the offensive. Pouncing on their opponents like wild beasts, Shamans become more deadly as their opponents bleed out onto the battlefield.

As in previous seasons, the new heroes will be immediately available free for season pass holders on November 14^th, while all other players will be able to unlock them on November 21^st for 15,000 Steel.

WELCOME TO THE WILDLANDS

UBISOFT^® PREMIERES ‘WILDLANDS’ – THE COMPANION FEATURE DOCUMENTARY TO TOM CLANCY’S GHOST RECON^® WILDLANDS –

RELEASING 1^ST NOVEMBER, 2017, ON AMAZON INSTANT VIDEO, AMAZON PRIME AND iTUNES 

Today, Ubisoft^® premieres a ground-breaking documentary, which is set to offer one of the most revealing insights to date into the drug trade in South America, and the battle to contain it. Scheduled for global release today on major digital platforms - Amazon Instant Video, Amazon Prime, and iTunes - the feature-length film, titled “Wildlands”, will showcase the real stories that have served to inspire the fictitious characters and themes explored in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon^®  Wildlands, the acclaimed videogame release from Ubisoft.

The documentary explores the real-life stories of key figures, who have been at the centre of the war on drugs over the last thirty years. Viewers will accompany narrator Rusty Young, author of New York Times best-seller, Marching Powder, as he meets the people who have been involved in shaping the cocaine trade in South America - many of whom are telling their stories for the first time. Travelling from Bolivia, and up through to the United States, he finds himself immersed with fascinating stories of characters from both sides of the law - from the coca farmers, through the drug supply chain, to the Special Forces soldiers fighting the war on drugs - to get a raw snapshot of drug trafficking and production in South America over the past 30 years.

Originally slated for launch in March 2017, the release date for Wildlands was postponed, enabling further exploration of all key regions of South America, where the cocaine trade has left an indelible mark.

Viewers can now finally piece together the jigsaw of the cocaine trade from its original inception by a handful of opportunistic Colombian smugglers, to the blood-soaked global empire that it has now become.

Developed in partnership with Chief Productions, Wildlands captures the stories of some of the most influential voices on the subject. For the very first time, these diverse characters are brought together to give a broad perspective on a global crisis. Bolivia, Colombia and North America form the landscape for this complex story of the battle between law enforcement and criminal organisations seeking to monopolise a multi-billion-dollar illegal industry.

Director Colin Offland described the process involved in gathering the compelling and visceral source material; “We spoke to the people who know the drug trade better than anyone else - iconic characters, from either side of the law, who have defined this continent’s notorious image. The war on drugs is a complex one and we give viewers unprecedented insight into the people who have shaped this landscape, enabling a better understanding of a global issue which affects us all.”

“When we finished the original edit, we felt that there were a few loose strands connecting the past to the modern-day cocaine trade and it was a key decision to delay the launch and protect the integrity of the story that we wanted to tell. For the first time as a viewer, you can see an abridged, true depiction of the birth and proliferation of the cocaine trade.”

Wildlands introduces the compelling, unbelievable, and often devastating life stories of several individuals, including: George Jung: The man known for hooking North America on cocaine. George Jung was a major player in the cocaine trade during the 1970s and 80s and was immortalised by Johnny Depp in the movie ‘Blow’; Adam Newbold: A former Navy SEAL with over 20 years’ combat experience, Adam has worked throughout South America; Tomas McFadden: Reformed drug trafficker, and subject of “Marching Powder”, reveals the tricks of his trade, which saw him become a prolific smuggler, until the day he was arrested with 5kg of cocaine at La Paz airport – leading to a lengthy stay at the notorious San Pedro Prison.

Alongside these individuals, Wildlands introduces traffickers, smugglers, money launderers, informants and the law enforcers that help shape this complex jigsaw.

Developed by Ubisoft Paris*, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is a tactical military shooter, set in an expansive South American open world, where players take the role of “Ghosts” – members of a fictional elite special ops unit. The launch of the documentary coincides with Ubisoft’s launch of the much-anticipated feature of Player vs Player team deathmatch in the free expansion, Ghost War. Ghost War is a 4-versus-4 team experience that builds on the tactical squad play from the main game, where strategy is equally as important as skill. Using one of the 12 distinct classes, each with their own varied characteristics, weapons, perks and customisation options, players will engage with enemies across eight unique maps. Ghost War also integrates new PvP mechanics, including suppressing fire and sound markers, to create a strategic and intense team-based multiplayer mode.
