The third DLC release for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will arrive on the PS4 on July 12. It's a timed exclusive, meaning it will be released at a later date on the Xbox One and PC. In Descent, players will recieve 4 new multiplayer maps and a continuation of the Originsl Storyline set in n "an alternate-U.S.S.R. universe." The Zombies Chapter pits gamers against a raging horde or mechanized zombies and the last remnants of Stalingrad. And if that's not enough, there's also a DRAGON to contend with.
Here's how Treyarch describes the new multiplayer maps:
-
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.
Those who purchased the Season Pass for Black Ops III will be able to download Descent for free. Otherwise, the DLC will set you back $15.
The previous DLC content for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 was also a timed PS4 exclusive, with Xbox One and PC users able to download the additonal content a month later.
After escaping the swamps of Zetsubou No Shima, the Origins characters are hurled into an alternate, war-torn Stalingrad riddled with Element 115. Our heroes will face their most dangerous enemies yet among the remnants of a battle between giant mechanized soldiers and ferocious dragons controlled by Group 935. That's right. Dragons.
The Descent DLC Pack includes four new multiplayer maps — Berserk, Cryogen, Rumble, and Empire — and Gorod Krovi, Treyarch’s newest chapter in the Black Ops III Zombies saga.
