Activision dropped a tidbit for e-sports fans at its Call of Duty Championship tournament in Los Angeles today. The video game giant released the next trailer for its Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare — Exo Zombies Infection co-op expansion. The downloadable content (DLC) pack is the second part of the Exo Zombies experience and will be available with the Ascendance DLC pack on March 31 through Xbox Live.

Activision is trying much harder to preserve its Call of Duty community, which generally draws something like 40 million players a month. It’s part of a plan to cement Advanced Warfare among hardcore fans and e-sports enthusiasts, who can keep the game alive for long after it ships. Overall, e-sports attract something like 70 million spectators worldwide.

After being overrun at the Atlas research facility, the four heroes in Exo Zombies Infection must fight for survival at a Burgertown franchise. Exo Zombies stars the voices and likenesses of actors John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan, and Jon Bernthal. The Call of Duty Championships wrap up today at the Event Deck of the L.A. Live complex in downtown Los Angeles. As of January, Call of Duty has sold more than 191 million units worldwide.
