New court documents have emerged revealing that the pair have added two counts of fraud to their their $36 million (£22m) complaint against the studio, Gamespot reports.
Last year, West and Zampella took legal action against Activision claiming breach of contract and unpaid bonuses relating to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
The report also states that a lawyer representing the outed studio heads said that they are seeking to void the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between themselves and Activision, making them co-owners of the Modern Warfare brand.
Earlier this month, a court gave Activision permission to push forward with a $400 million (£259m) suit against West, Zampella and EA, alleging that the three parties had "conspired" to sabotage its Call Of Duty franchise.
West and Zampella now run EA affiliate Respawn Entertainment, a studio they established following their departure from Activision.
