SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
The revolution has begun! Call of Duty: Black Ops II Revolution, the first of
four Downloadable Content (DLC) Map Packs for the record-setting Call of Duty:
Black Ops II launches today! From Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI), and their award-winning studio
Treyarch, Revolution delivers an unprecedented amount of new and innovative
"must-play" content, including four radically diverse multiplayer maps from
around the world, as well as a new Zombies map "Die Rise." Revolution also
features a couple of franchise first offerings, including a brand-new Zombies
mode "Turned," which literally turns the tables and allows gamers to play as a
zombie, as well as a new bonus multiplayer weapon, the "Peacekeeper." Revolution
is available today first, exclusively on Xbox LIVE for the Xbox 360 video game
and entertainment system from Microsoft, with other platforms to follow. Fans
can purchase Revolution individually, or pick it up as part of the Call of Duty:
Black Ops II DLC Season Pass discounted* bundle.

"Revolution is packed with a ton of fun," said Mark Lamia, Treyarch`s Studio
Head. "We worked incredibly hard to deliver the most expansive DLC offering in
our studio`s history: from four maps in exciting and dynamic new locations like
skate parks and ski slopes, to being able to play as a zombie, and a new bonus
weapon in multiplayer - Revolution is a wild ride, and we`re excited for Call of
Duty fans to start playing."

Revolutiondelivers an unparalleled amount of variety and content for all types
of Call of Duty: Black Ops II players, featuring four all-new multiplayer maps
set around the globe. "Downhill" is a snowy alpine chateau perfect for hectic
close-quarters combat. "Mirage" is a sand-devastated luxury villa suited for all
play styles, while "Hydro" is a massive hydroelectric dam in Pakistan lined with
long-range vantage points perfect for sniping. And "Grind" is a skate park in
Venice Beach, where players must adapt to the map`s unique ramps, bowls and
curvatures as they try and take cover from enemy fire.

Zombies fans get a terrifying double-dose of undead action in Revolution.
First,the new map, "Die Rise," drops players inside a maze of crumbling
skyscrapers amidst a ravaged Chinese city, where all-new Wonder Weaponry will
play a crucial role as they make a valiant stand against the impending zombie
hoard. Additionally, Revolution`s innovative new Zombies mode, "Turned," flips
this new fan-favorite mode around, allowing players to become the undead and
play as a zombie, offering an entirely new style of bragging rights.

Rounding out the wide breadth of new content in Revolutionis the "Peacekeeper,"
a one-time offering of a new multiplayer weapon planned for Call of Duty: Black
Ops II DLC.

To celebrate today`s launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops II Revolution, Activision
and Treyarch will pit baseball superstars Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants
and Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays against each other in a Grudge Match for
Call of Duty bragging rights. Cain and Longoria will captain teams featuring
development team members, online personalities and fans in an intense
head-to-head battle. Gamers can review highlights on Call of Duty: Black Ops II
