The biggest entertainment franchise in the world is out, and that now means Activision is free to push out large amounts of content for fans of the game. Those who opted to join in on the Call of Duty Elite service will get the added bonus of gaining early access to a large portion of that content, offering yet another perk to the subscription-based platform.
“The mammoth launch of Modern Warfare 3 and the breakout success of Call of Duty Elite were just the beginning. Call of Duty Elite provides an 'always-on’ connection to our fanbase, and the MW3 Content Season is the ultimate way to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the Call of Duty community and provide tremendous value to Call of Duty Elite premium members,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.
“With the Call of Duty: MW3 Content Season for Call of Duty Elite we are delivering on our promise of more new content, more often, and with more variety than ever. With three studios collaborating on the first season, the breadth and depth of material on tap is truly extraordinary. It’s rare you can successfully execute both quantity and quality, but thanks to the expertise of our developers, the reach of Call of Duty Elite and the passion of our fans, we intend to deliver.”
Activision is planning a series of ‘content drops’ in the form of several new multiplayer maps, new Co-op missions and game modes. The planned 9-month season will also offer tournaments, prize redemption opportunities and other perks throughout the duration.
The first ‘drop’ is planned for January 24 for Xbox Live. PSN users should have that content “at a later time.”
