Check Out Black Ops III’s Biggest New Multiplayer Map, Rise

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s “Awakening”, the first DLC pack for Activision’s highly-touted first-person shooter, is now available on PlayStation 4.

Below are the details for each of the new multiplayer maps, as well as the new Zombies adventure. With vibrantly colored water-slides, a wrecked pirate ship, and a lazy river ride through a fantastical forgotten city, players can also expect to take advantage of underwater combat opportunities. Gauntlet showcases Treyarch‘s classic three-lane map structure, transporting players into battle through an urban jungle, a sub-zero artic zone, and a rainy urban cityscape. With multiple engagement areas throughout this larger map, each section caters to different styles of gameplay.

“Treyarch’s commitment to our fans with Awakening, and all season long, is to keep delivering you the goods”, said Mark Lamia, Treyarch’s Studio Head, in a statement. In addition to that, Awakening will offer up the first chapter of a new Zombies campaign, called Der Eisendrache.

Starting today at 10:00 AM PST / 1:00 PM EST, Treyarch is rewarding Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s multiplayer and zombies players with twice the amount of normal experience points by beginning a Double XP event that’s set to last throughout the weekend. Beneath the medieval fortress, a huge reserve of Element 115 has been discovered, forcing you to overcome wave after wave of the undead.

While there hasn’t been any word on when it will arrive for the PC and Xbox One versions of the game, those who do have it on PlayStation 4 can obtain the update patch that is a whopping 9.4 GB worth of data.

Call of Duty publisher Activision recently revealed a couple of videos detailing the upcoming maps from Black Ops’ Awakening expansion.
