Last week, Activision deployed the first details about Call of Duty: WWII‘s second expansion, The War Machine DLC Pack. More recently, the publisher gave fans a sneak peek at the upcoming add-on content in a new trailer:
Tensions escalate in DLC Pack 2 for Call of Duty: WWII — The War Machine. Join the Allies and stop the powerful Axis advance in three new Multiplayer maps that illustrate the might and global reach of the Axis War Machine. Strike back and take part in the Allied invasion of Sicily in “Operation Husky,” the all new objective-based War Mode mission. Plus, experience the latest Nazi Zombies chapter: “The Shadowed Throne.”
To complement the trailer, Activision’s Editorial Manager, Kevin Kelly, took a turn at the keyboard of the PlayStation Blog, and delivered a few additional details on “Operation Husky”:
Operation Husky takes its historical cues from the real-life Operation Husky, the codename for the Allied invasion of Sicily, that took place in July of 1943. This operation wrestled control of Sicily away from Axis powers and put into motion a course of events that opened up the Mediterranean Sea lanes for the first time since 1941. It also toppled Italian leader Benito Mussolini from power and paved the way for the Allied invasion of Italy.
As an Allied participant in Operation Husky in Call of Duty: WWII, you’re a soldier in the town of Ragusa, Sicily. Your mission is to retrieve key intel to initiate a bombing of enemy forces.
Or you might find yourself on the flipside of that equation as an Axis soldier, trying to stop the Allied advance, as they try and complete their mission.
There are three key objectives for the Allies to complete before they can declare victory, so let’s take a look at what they are.
PS4 players will be able to download Call of Duty: WWII‘s The War Machine DLC Pack on April 10. PC and Xbox One players will get the chance to download the expansion sometime in May.
