Gamers are being given a brand new glimpse into upcoming Zombies DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops III in this new Awakening trailer, allowing a look into Origins characters Richtofen, Nikolai, Takeo and Dempsey.

Embarking on a 'suicide mission', the four characters go to an enemy research facility built upon an archaic site which holds 'unspeakable horror'.

Recently massive deposits of Element 115 have been discovered on the site, which all leads to new and 'inspired' gameplay for players, with a variety of plot twists and surprises to allow Zombies tradition to continue.

The Awakening DLC Pack will also include four new multiplayer maps, one of which is a reimagining of an old fan favourite.

Details have been given on the four new maps:

  • Gauntlet: Grounded in a military training facility, Gauntlet 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 arctic 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, Rise 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 Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer map Hijacked and retains the same fast and frenetic gameplay from one of the most popular maps in Call of Duty 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 Black Ops III.

Awakening will first become available on PlayStation 4 on February 2, with other next-gen platforms following shortly after.
