Another superior experience missed out for Wii U fans?
Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U has, for the most part, been well received across the board. But there’s something Wii U owners are constantly being deprived of: add-on content and DLC (Downloadable Content) packs. Let’s look at what Activision has failed to deliver to Wii U owners of CoD:Ghosts thus far.
On August 18th, 2013, we asked Activision if the Free Fall Dynamic Bonus Map would be released for the Wii U version of Call of Duty: Ghosts. Their response was “We design our content for ALL of our fans to enjoy – we hope everything will work out, no news just yet tho.” By placing emphasis on “all,” it appeared as if Wii U owners would be able to enjoy what was being offered on other platforms. Unfortunately, Wii U fans didn’t get that piece of content.
A few months later, on October 29th, the Call of Duty: Ghosts Clan System — a feature that provides in-game integration, offering a more meaningful experience and connection between players on different consoles such as Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC — was also confirmed to be skipping past Wii U. Activision community manager Dan Amrich confirmed that the Wii U wasn’t “supported” in the Clan’s official documentation. Wii U fans didn’t get that piece of content either.
Today, the first DLC pack, titled Onslaught, was given a release date of February 27th for the PlayStation Network and PC. It was previously released for the Xbox 360/Xbox One last week, on January 28th. According to the official Call of Duty: Ghosts blog, there was no mention of Wii U receiving the new DLC. We’ve contacted Activision, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward in an attempt to confirm release details for Wii U owners, but it’s looking like Wii U owners won’t receive this piece of content.
Here’s the preview for the Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught DLC Pack.
