Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 ‘Salvation’ DLC brings classic maps back and new zombie missions

Aww yes!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is about to get some new maps with the Salvation DLC, as well as some Zombie-themed missions. The new maps will bring two new additions and two returning maps from World at War and Black Ops 2.

Here's a glimpse into the zombie side of things, according to the press release:

"In Revelations, we meet up with the Origins characters after they've taken an epic journey through space and time–all of their struggles lead to this very moment. In this, the final chapter of the Zombies experience, Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo, and Nikolai finally come face to face with the mysterious Doctor Monty in The House. Confronted by an ancient evil, our heroes must fight the zombie horde once more in the final battle to save their immortal souls."

The Salvations DLC is heading to the PlayStation 4 on September 6th, 2016, the releasing on the rest of the platforms after an exclusive period. 

Here's a breakdown of the four maps:

  • Citadel: 

    • Once home to a powerful medieval army, this ancient castle now sits broken and abandoned. Tight corners force close-quarters engagements, while the moat and drawbridge allows for unique player movement opportunities in this mid-sized map. The last trespassers didn't make it out alive–maybe you'll have a better shot.
  • Micro: 

    • What's better than a BBQ on a hot summer day? A miniaturized war zone that takes place on a well-stocked family picnic table, that's what! Navigate this bite-size battlefield for a larger-than-life experience.
  • Outlaw: 

    • Gear up for a showdown in Outlaw; a western-style reimagining of the fan favorite map Standoff from Call of Duty: Black Ops II. This rough-and-tough medium-sized map brings classic engagements, flanking routes and strategic positions for long and medium ranged combat.
  • Rupture: 

    • The Call of Duty: World at War classic Outskirts is reimagined as a high-tech facility, designed by a futuristic society desperate to repair the Earth's atmosphere.

Salvation is priced at $15 for the standalone purchase or as part as the $50 Season Pass.
