Call of Duty: Black Ops III is bringing its third DLC pack, Descent to PS4 later this summer on a timed exclusivity deal that will go live on July 12th. Xbox One and PC will be getting the pack as well, although a date has not been set as of yet.
Descent features four new multiplayer maps and a new Zombie mode that takes place in the alternate universe of a 1940s Soviet Union and is the next chapter of the Origins Zombies storyline titled Gorod Krovi. Players will face off against mechanized zombies and fiery dragons assaults in the crumbling and broken down ruins of Stalingrad.
Here are the details on the new maps, provided by Treyarch:
- Empire: Treyarch adapts its Black Ops III movement system to the Call of Duty®: Black Ops II fan favorite map Raid. The re-imagining of this classic, medium-sized map features an authentic Roman villa that has been "recreated by a modern-day eccentric billionaire," where a classic map structure mixes with the new gameplay mechanics of Black Ops III.
- Cryogen: Located far off the coast in the Dead Sea, an isolated compound holds some of the world's most dangerous criminals in frozen isolation. Sentry towers keep watch over the small map's circular design as frenetic combat is funneled around the prison's cryogenic tubes, where opportunities for wall running attacks abound.
- Berserk: Ancient sentinels from a lost civilization guard the entrance to Berserk, a Viking village frozen in time. Players will fight through blizzards, and control the center bridge as they navigate this medium-sized map's wooden buildings, deadly rocky outcroppings, and tight chokepoints.
- Rumble: Gamers battle amongst larger-than-life mechanized warriors in Rumble, a stadium where giant robots battle to the roar of the crowd. This medium-sized map funnels high-speed combat to the central arena, where players battle their way through fallen mechs and pyrotechnics.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Descent DLC pack can be pre-ordered starting now, at a discounted rate via the game's Season Pass (which costs $50) or as a standalone pack for the retail price of $15.
