Called Uprising, the pack will be released first on Xbox Live on April 16th for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) and offers four multiplayer maps along with a new Zombies story called Mob of the Dead, which features “some of Hollywood’s most iconic mobsters” including Ray Liotta, Chazz Palminteri, Joe Pantoliano and Michael Madsen.
In the four new Multiplayer Maps, (Magma, Encore, Vertigo, and Studio, a reimagining of the classic map Firing Range)
Magma
Lava carving through a modern Japanese village leaves rivers of fiery damage in its wake, providing players with dangerous terrain, compromised cover, and frenetic firefights for survival.
Encore
Multiplayer gameplay picks up after the concert has ended in Encore. Following a bustling London music festival, the central stage provides players with a key vantage point that overlooks the surrounding areas of the amphitheater and its main tents.
Vertigo
High above the clouds atop a mega skyscraper in India, players must battle across a VTOL landing pad and through the transportation terminal, bringing new dimensions of verticality to every battle.
Studio
The Call of Duty: Black Ops fan-favorite, Firing Range has been re-imagined as a Hollywood backlot, allowing players to take cover in a wide variety of classic move sets.
Mob of the Dead
Mob of the Dead tells the story of “four prohibition-era mobsters, Billy Handsome (Liotta), Al ‘The Weasel’ Arlington (Pantoliano), Salvatore ‘Sal’ DeLuca (Palmentiri) and Michael ‘Finn’ O'Leary (Madsen) serving time in Alcatraz Prison, only to discover that being behind bars is the least of their problems. With plans to break out of Alcatraz foiled by the rise of the undead, the quartet of inmates will have to lean on their mob-derived skills with firearms, blunt instruments and improvised weaponry as they battle the zombies infesting and overrunning the island.” Mob of the Dead will introduce a new “Purgatory” feature that “sends players into the afterlife” if they become a victim of the Zombies.
