Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening DLC available March 3rd on Xbox One

[Spider]

Microsoft has updated the Black Ops 3 Season Pass listing on the Xbox One store to announce that the first DLC pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Awakening, will be available on Thursday, March 3rd on Xbox One. (Note: PC release date should be same day, but we are awaiting confirmation from Activision regarding a PC release date; please stay tuned.)

Awakening DLC pack brings four multiplayer maps — Rise, Splash, Gauntlet, and Skyjacked — and a new Zombies map, Der Eisendrache.

Multiplayer 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 artic 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.
 

Zombies: 

Der Eisendrache, the first chapter of Call of Duty: Black Ops III‘s Zombies DLC adventure will take players on an epic journey with the Origin characters Richtofen, Nicolai, Takeo, and Dempsey. Set in an eerie medieval castle built upon an ancient site of unspeakable horror, massive deposits of Element 115 have recently been discovered, delivering inspired new gameplay and – in Zombies tradition – a variety of exciting plot twists and surprises that fans will have the opportunity to discover for themselves.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening DLC is available now on PlayStation 4 and is coming March 3rd to Xbox One (PC release date TBA, stay tuned). Awakening DLC is available for $14.99 or is included with the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Season Pass. Awakening DLC and the Season Pass are not available on PS3 or Xbox 360.
