You know that new Call of Duty: Black Ops expansion that's due to hit Xbox 360 next week? In a press release announcing Call of the Dead, Treyarch said it set out to create a zombie experience gamers have never played before. The studio started by crafting a storyline inspired by iconic Night of the Living Dead writer/director Romero -- the Grandfather of the Zombie himself who will also star in the level.
This is Treyarch's tribute to the legendary George Romero, who truly defined the zombie genre and whose incredible work has been such an inspiration to our team." says Dave Anthony, Call of Duty: Black Ops Director. "It was an absolute honor to work with such an amazing and talented cast whose passion and energy brought their characters instantly to life. Fans are going to love this.

In this epic tale of survival inspired by legendary writer and director George A. Romero, a group of four fearless explorers fight for their lives amidst an army of bloodthirsty Russian zombies. The story begins with our heroes stranded in the frozen wastelands of a forgotten Siberian outpost. On the hunt for the origins of the enigmatic Element 115, they head for the site of an ancient meteorite impact crater but their ship mysteriously runs aground. In the midst of a horrific snowstorm, our intrepid adventurers inadvertently unleash an unearthly horde of ravenous Zombies. From the island's deserted lighthouse to a shipwrecked ocean liner and a precarious zip-line in between, it's kill or be killed. And with shiploads of zombie Russian soldiers, scuba divers and sailors that rise out of the frozen ground and icy waters it's not going to be easy, especially considering the deadly surprise that one particular (and somewhat notable) Zombie has in mind.
Escalation is set to launch on Xbox Live on May 3 for 1,200 Microsoft Points or $15. Activision has yet to announce when the map pack will make its way to the PlayStation 3 and PCs.
