Predator Leaping into Call of Duty
A short teaser video from the official Call of Duty Instagram page shows a distinctly Predator-esque level, with a distinctly invisible threat hunting the player. Although it’s not expressly said that Predator will be making an appearance in the next set of DLC maps, which the video is a teaser for, it’s pretty obvious. The description even has the quote “If it bleeds…” in it.
Predator – best known as the monster from the classic 1987 movie of the same name, and for a series of increasingly bad sequels and spin-offs – isn’t a newcomer to gaming, and has actually been in dozens of titles over the last 25 years.
Still, it’s hard to complain. Done properly, it’s going to add a new part to Call of Duty’s multiplayer, moreso than the “cameo” last month.
As well as the Predator inspired Ruins, there are also three other maps in the Devastation pack – Unearthed, Behemoth and Collision. expect more information on those, and on exactly what Predator will be capable of, very soon.
Fans of the bonus Extinction game will be happy to know Devastation will also include a third episode. Entitled Mayday, it will continue where the last new episode left off.
Devastation, Predator and all, will be available to purchase on Xbox One and Xbox 360 from April 3rd. Other platforms will get the DLC about a month afterwards.
