His inclusion in Ghosts was confirmed in the full trailer for “Devastation” earlier this week, Polygon reported .
Infinity Ward’s Instagram tease showed an invisible Predator; the new trailer shows the Predator in all of his uncloaked glory likely in the new multiplayer Ruins map based on a Mayan temple.
The trailer also shows a brief glimpse of the four new multiplayer maps: Behemoth, which is in a South American excavation site; Collision, in a container ship; Ruins; and Unearthed, which is similar to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s Dome map.
“Devastation” also features “Mayday,” the second chapter in Call of Duty: Ghosts’ four-player co-op story mode, “Extinction.” The trailer shows a variety of monsters you will fight in “Mayday,” including a 100-foot-tall Kraken and a wall-crawling creature known as the Seeder.
The expansion also introduces a new two-in-one weapon called the Ripper. It includes two different possibilities: An SMG with medium- to short-range capability, and an assault rifle with long-range possibilities. The DLC is currently available only on Xbox platforms, where Ghosts’ DLC season pass holders already received access earlier this month.
“Devastation” is part of Ghosts’ $49.99 season pass, and is available to non-season pass holders for $14.99 separately. It will be exclusive to Xbox 360 and Xbox One for an unspecified amount of time.
The new content has brought Call of Duty: Ghosts back to the front of gamers’ and retailers’ minds, and GameStop is one company trying to use the mindshare to move more copies of the popular game, GameSpot reported .
The retailer announced a special sales promotion focused around the game: From today through April 6, all GameStop stores in the United States will offer new copies of Ghosts for Xbox One and Playstation 4 for $40, and will offer the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions for $30, both slightly below Amazon’s prices.
Additionally, the first ten customers across the nation who buy Ghosts or the season pass will receive a special paracord bracelet for free. Also, customers who bring in the below coupon will receive an extra 30 percent of in-store credit for any item traded in toward the purchase of Call of Duty: Ghosts .
Call of Duty: Ghosts launched in November 2013, and as a launch title for the Xbox One and PS4 to massive success. Early on, it was the most played title on the new consoles, Inquisitr reported.
