Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Gets Its First DLC Pack On Groundhog Day

Peter Paltridge · Dec 21, 2015

They said it would happen, and it has come to pass: Playstation 4 owners now hold the upper hand when it comes to Call of Duty DLC packs. The first expansion pack for Black Ops 3, titled Awakening, was formally announced by Activision today, and for at least 30 days, it'll be a PS4 exclusive.

As is typical, players will get four new maps, Gauntlet, Splash, Rise and Skyjacked. Here's Activision's description of each:

Gauntlet: Grounded in a military training facility, Gauntlet plays up the core philosophy of Treyarch's classic three lane map structure with distinct variety in visuals and gameplay. Each of the three primary lanes has a unique environment as players battle through a sprawling jungle, sub-zero artic zone and rainy urban cityscape.

Splash: Set in an abandoned water theme park, this vibrant and playful map delivers an imaginative environment complete with waterslides, a wrecked pirate ship and a lazy river ride that winds through a fantastical forgotten city. Splash is designed to drive an open flow of combat, including plenty of opportunities for underwater gameplay.

Rise: Set in the snowy outskirts of Zurich, Rise is a Coalescence Corporation construction project for a massive subterranean research campus. The design of the map caters to a mix of classic Call of Duty cover combat alongside strategic core movement opportunities, with each section of the map offering distinctly different styles of gameplay.

Skyjacked: Set on a security VTOL in the clouds over urban Zurich, Skyjacked is a reimagined version of the popular Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer map Hijacked, and retains the same fast and frenetic gameplay from one of the most popular maps in Call of Duty history, but with a twist. Skyjacked gives players the opportunity to explore the map in a variety of new ways thanks to the all-new core movement system in Black Ops 3.

Call of Duty Black Ops 3: Awakening goes live February 2, 2016 for Playstation 4 systems, with XBox One players getting it one month later. (Black Ops 3 DLC will not be released for PS3 and XBox 360.) Check out the behind-the-scenes video below to see these maps for yourself....
