Call of Duty XP fan event returns this September

Call of Duty XP, a three-day event filled with Call of Duty-themed attractions, hands-on opportunities and developer panels, is returning this September, Activision has announced.

Taking place in Los Angeles between Friday, September 2 to Sunday, September 4, Call of Duty XP will feature the worldwide reveal and first hands-on opportunity for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered’s multiplayer modes, along with a PlayStation VR experience that puts players in control of “piloting their own Jackal fighter jet”.

Infinite Warfare’s Zombies mode will be playable there, too.

Live-action experiences inspired by the game are promised as well, including Nuketown paintball, Zombies laser tag and a “surprise musical guest”. The last time Activision put this on, that was Kanye West.

Three tiers of tickets are available with prices starting from $49. Pick one of the more expensive tickets and you’ll walk away with a digital code for the Legacy or Digital Deluxe version of Infinite Warfare.

All tickets come with bonus digital content for both Black Ops 3 and Infinite Warfare, including a calling card and weapon camo.
