Call of Duty: Ghosts to receive ‘Onslaught’ DLC on January 28

Add as a preferred source on Google

The first salvo of downloadable content for Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Ghosts is set to arrive on January 28 for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, the developer confirms on Twitter. The Onslaught pack includes four new multiplayer maps, a couple of new guns, and the first add-on “episode” – called Nightfall – for Extinction, the game’s “kill all the aliens with guns” survival mode. A post from the developer on Instagram offers a brief look at what we’re guessing is Nightfall. The pack will be available for other systems in the coming weeks, although a specific date was not released. 

The name of the Extinction episode and details of the rest of Onslaught‘s contents comes from a reportedly leaked GameStop poster, spotted by a Twitter-using COD fan, advertising the new content (via Charlie Intel). According to the poster, the four new maps are: Bayview, Containment, Fog, Ignition. For weapons, you get the new Maverick assault rifle and Maverick sniper rifle.

Microsoft is now testing a way to get around that requirement, allowing players to use their Android phone or iPhone as a virtual gamepad. The game runs on the television, while your phone takes care of the controls.

The feature is part of two new Xbox Cloud Gaming previews, and there's an interesting difference compared to what Sony offers with its PS5.
