Downloadable Content (DLC) with <b><i>Call of Duty\u00ae: Black Ops II Uprising<\/i><\/b> on 17 April.\u00a0 The game\u2019s second, epic DLC pack of the year from award-winning studio Treyarch and Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.activision.com\/\">ATVI<\/a>), will be available first, exclusively on Xbox LIVE\u00ae for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft beginning on 17 April, with other platforms to follow.<b><i>\u00a0 Call of Duty: Black Ops II Uprising<\/i><\/b> will include four

itself again,\u201d said Mark Lamia, Treyarch\u2019s Studio Head.\u00a0 \u201cIn addition to creating four amazing new multiplayer maps, the Studio has been hard at work on the Zombies front to surpass what we accomplished with\u00a0 \u2018<i>Call of the Dead<\/i>.\u2019\u00a0 What they\u2019ve done this time around is nothing Zombies fans have seen before \u2013 and if you don\u2019t believe me, just wait until you get into Purgatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following tradition of the original <b><i>Call of Duty: Black Ops<\/i><\/b> fan-favourite Zombies mode \u201c<i>Call of the Dead<\/i>,\u201d <b><i>Call of Duty: Black Ops II Uprising<\/i><\/b>\u2019s wildly creative new \u201c<i>Mob of the Dead<\/i>\u201d Zombies experience finds the four prohibition-era mobsters, Billy Handsome (Liotta), Al \u201cThe Weasel\u201d Arlington (Pantoliano), Salvatore \u201cSal\u201d DeLuca (Palmentiri), and Michael \u201cFinn\u201d O\u2019Leary (Madsen) serving time in Alcatraz Prison, only to discover that being behind bars is the least of their problems.\u00a0 With plans to break out of Alcatraz foiled by the rise of the undead, the quartet of inmates will have to lean on their mob-derived skills with firearms, blunt instruments and improvised weaponry as they battle the zombies infesting and overrunning the island.\u00a0 In order to survive, players must work their way through the steel cells and aging concrete buildings while fighting off a multitude of zombified prisoners and guards trapped on the island with them.\u00a0 Additionally, if a player becomes an unfortunate victim, \u201c<i>Mob of the Dead\u2019s<\/i>\u201d new feature known as \u201c<i>Purgatory<\/i>\u201d sends players into the afterlife.\u00a0 This new twist on Zombies gameplay is ripe with its own set of objectives, and offers fans a truly new and unique experience.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Uprising<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i>also<i> <\/i>delivers another four new, exotic and diverse multiplayer maps set around the globe for fans to jump into.\u00a0 \u201cMagma\u201d is a modern Japanese village with volcanic eruptions carving multiple paths throughout the town.\u00a0 \u201cEncore\u201d takes place in the aftermath of a deserted London music festival and leaves numerous opportunities for run-and-gun, close quarters combat. \u201cVertigo\u201d is a futuristic high rise in India housing a
