Activision has announced that the first DLC pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Awakening, is coming to PlayStation 3 on Tuesday, April 5th. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening DLC brings four multiplayer maps – Rise, Gauntlet, Skyjacked, and Splash – and new Zombies map, Der Eisendrache.

Multiplayer Maps:

  • Gauntlet: Grounded in a military training facility, 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, 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 multiplayer map Hijacked, and retains the same fast and frenetic gameplay from one of the most popular maps in 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

Zombies:

  • Der Eisendrache, the first chapter of ‘s Zombies DLC adventure will take players on an epic journey with the Origin characters Richtofen, Nicolai, Takeo, and Dempsey. Set in an eerie medieval castle built upon an ancient site of unspeakable horror, massive deposits of Element 115 have recently been discovered, delivering inspired new gameplay and – in Zombies tradition – a variety of exciting plot twists

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening costs $14.99 and can only be bought as a separate download on PS3 as the Season Pass is not available on last-gen platforms. Players that do purchase Awakening on PS3 will receive an Awakening static theme for free.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening DLC is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC and is coming April 5th to PS3.
