KontrolFreek® Takes on the Undead in Call of Duty® Collaboration
Glow-in-the-dark Performance Thumbsticks celebrate the new Call of
Duty®: Infinite Warfare ‘Zombies in Spaceland’ Mode
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In collaboration with Activision Publishing, Inc. and developer Infinity
Ward, U.S. based Performance Gaming Gear™ company, KontrolFreek®,
has released its first ever glow-in-the-dark product, KontrolFreek Call
of Duty®: Infinite Warfare ‘Zombies in Spaceland’ CQC
Performance Thumbstick™. The limited-edition Performance Thumbstick™ is
specifically designed for use with the newly announced Zombies in
Spaceland mode that will be featured in Call of Duty: Infinite
Warfare, releasing on November 4, 2016.
The Zombies in Spaceland Performance Thumbsticks feature an
intense, glowing yellow-on-black color scheme ideal for late-night
gamers and hardcore zombies fans. The Zombies in Spaceland CQC
Performance Thumbsticks snap onto standard PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
analog sticks, raising the height by 6.1mm. The mid-rise height is
perfect for the short-to-medium-range combat typical of Call of Duty
Zombies and allows players to make smoother, more accurate movements on
their controller. Covered with tactile ridges on the top and outside of
each thumbpad, the Performance Thumbsticks help control thumb movements
and increase grip.
Co-developed with Infinity Ward, the Zombies in Spaceland
Performance Thumbsticks’ limited-edition packaging highlights sections
of the Spaceland theme-park while the thumbsticks themselves feature
Angry Mike, one of the alien mascots from the “Octonian Village”, the
alien-themed section of the Spaceland theme park.
“We wanted to ‘wow’ our fans with this new product release, and the
Zombies in Spaceland thumbsticks simply nails it,” said Ashish Mistry,
President and CEO of KontrolFreek. “We knew that pairing the Zombies
brand with a high intensity, glow-in-the-dark design would create a
unique experience for our customers, which is what they’ve come to
expect from KontrolFreek.”
The Zombies in Spaceland Performance Thumbstick was developed in
conjunction with Infinity Ward and is the second Call of Duty
thumbstick released by KontrolFreek in 2016. Earlier this year,
KontrolFreek released KontrolFreek
Call of Duty® FPS Freek® S.C.A.R. (Special Combat
Air Recon) to celebrate the announcement of Call of Duty:
Infinite Warfare.
The Zombies in Spaceland CQC Performance Thumbsticks for PlayStation 4
and Xbox One are available for a limited time. The thumbsticks have a
suggested retail price of $17.99 and will be sold exclusively in the
U.S. through GameStop PowerUp Rewards, online at KontrolFreek.com and
through other international online and retail partners.
