Titled Awakening, the DLC features four new maps called Skyjacked, Spash, Gauntlet and Rise - more details on each are below:
Skyjacked: High above urban Zurich, Skyjacked is a modernised version of the popular Call of Duty®: Black Ops II multiplayer map Hijacked. Utilising the new core movement system featured in Black Ops III, this map gives players new ways to explore the environment, while still retaining the same fast and frenetic gameplay players love.
Spash: Dive into battle in this abandoned water park, featuring a vibrant and colourful environment, including waterslides, a wrecked pirate ship and a lazy river. Splash encourages an open flow of combat with opportunities for underwater gameplay.
Gauntlet: Delivering three unique environments within one action-packed map, Gauntlet showcases Treyarch's classic three-lane map structure, transporting players into battle through a sprawling jungle, sub-zero arctic zone and rainy urban cityscape.
Rise: A versatile multiplayer map, Rise is set in the snowy outskirts of Zurich in the middle of an ongoing construction site for a massive subterranean Coalescence research campus. With multiple engagement areas throughout this larger map, each section caters to different styles of gameplay.
Awakening also introduces the first chapter of the new DLC Zombies adventure offered within the game, with Der Eisendrache picking up where former DLC The Giant left off.
Set in a chilling medieval Austrian castle during the Second World War, players must embark on a four-part journey with Origin characters Richtofen, Nikolai, Takeo and Dempsey, spanning the DLC season.
"The ancient site on which the castle sits was the scene of unspeakable horror where massive deposits of Element 115 have recently been discovered. Players will discover a variety of exciting plot twists and surprises as they survive waves of the undead."
The DLC map pack is available at a discounted rate via the season pass, which features all four of the packs planned for the year as part of the discounted bundle.
