Call of Duty: Black Ops III will add to its downloadable content later this month on April 19 with new DLC 'Eclipse', available first on PlayStation 4.

Four new multiplayer maps will be added to the game through 'Eclipse', as well as a brand new Zombies experience, immersing players in an undead World War II pacific theatre.

Mark Lamia, Studio Head at Treyarch comments: "The incredible amount of engagement and response to Black Ops III from our fans continues to inspire all of us at the studio.

"Eclipse continues to demonstrate our commitment to delivering the most exciting gameplay experiences possible with each DLC pack. We are pushing ourselves at every turn to craft new and unique ways to play."

The four new maps come in the form of Spire, Rift, Knockout and Verge, the last of which is a re-imagining of the Call of Duty: World at War classic Banzai.

Descriptions for the maps read:

Spire: Spire takes Multiplayer combat to a futuristic sub-orbital airport terminal set high in the clouds. Multiple levels and open areas promote intense, mid-range combat around a clean, high-tech civilian environment. Watch your step, because one wrong move could send you plummeting back through the stratosphere.

Rift: Head to the core of a harsh futuristic military complex, set high above an active caldera. Rift funnels and forces tight, intense engagements, where the only way through is forward. Utilise the unique core movement opportunities to outsmart and outplay enemies as you traverse the suspended rail system.

Knockout: Housed in a traditional Shaolin Temple with a retro twist, Knockout sets the stage for a bloody Kung Fu tournament. This mid-sized map showcases a sharp contrast between the mid-range engagements of the traditional exterior architechture and the tight close-quarters of an eclectic 1970's styled interior.

Verge: In this re-imagination of the classic Call of Duty: World at War map, Banzai, Verge drops Multiplayer combat into the centre of a distant post-apocalyptic future, where two warring factions are entrenched in a constant battle. Take control of the key bridge, fortresses, tunnel systems and waterfalls as you engage in high-speed action through this medium-sized map.

The Zombies addition, Zetsubou No Shima is also detailed:

The Origins characters continue on their mission to stop the zombie apocalypse not only in this universe but in all universes. Our heroes find themselves stranded on a remote Pacific island which is home to the Division 9 facility: a secret biological research lab whose experiments with Element 115 and its effects on human, animal and plant biology has created horrors beyond belief. Zetsubou No Shima features a foliage-rich island map including new terrifying zombie enemies, a variety of innovative transport mechanics, more devastating traps and classic Zombies side quests.

'Eclipse' will come to next-gen platforms as well as PS4 at a later date.
