Activision Reveals E3 2016 Video Game Lineup

Activision has released a new press release earlier today that reveals what video games they plan on highlighting during this year’s E3 event. However, this is E3 which means anything can happen with new announcements and reveals set for the center stage during a press conference or two.

For the most part, there will be a heavy influence with their latest Call of Duty title, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare this year, but some of the other titles included in the list are Destiny’s latest expansion, Destiny: Rise of Iron and Skylanders Imaginators. Check out the official descriptions about the video games down below.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Award-winning studio Infinity Ward breaks new ground in storytelling, by exploring the weight of leadership and the responsibilities that come with it in an emotional, character-driven narrative.  Players are thrust into wartime leadership as Captain Reyes, a Tier 1 Special Operations soldier, who takes the helm of the Retribution, one of Earth’s last remaining warships. In a time of unthinkable hardships, Reyes must lead the remnants of coalition forces against a relentless enemy in a war that stretches to new terrains beyond Earth.

Infinite Warfare introduces new weaponry, new player abilities and stunning new settings to the Call of Duty franchise.  In addition to a riveting single player campaign, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will also deliver a robust multiplayer mode, and a unique cooperative zombies experience.  More details will be released at the upcoming Call of Duty fan celebration, Call of Duty® XP, in September.  Visit www.callofduty.com for the latest news. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is in development for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.  Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is not yet rated by the ESRB.

Destiny

From Activision and Bungie comes Destiny: Rise of Iron, the next highly- anticipated large expansion in the Destiny universe. Guardians must rise to the challenge, take their place as the next generation of Iron Lords and join forces with a legend from humanity’s Golden Age to defeat a plague of unstoppable evil once and for all.  The game will feature a collection of fresh content including an all-new setting on Earth called The Plaguelands, a brand-new six-player Raid, a new cooperative three-player Strike, more quests, weapons, gear, competitive multiplayer maps, a Light level increase, a new mutated enemy faction of the Fallen, and more.  The expansion launches on September 20, 2016 and will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold, required for some features) and requires Destiny game and The Taken King (includes Expansions I & II), sold separately.
