Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s Second DLC Revealed

Activision and Treyarch have announced Call of Duty: Black Ops III's second expansion. The expansion is titled Eclipse and is set release on April 19 for PS4, with a release on Xbox One and PC to follow in May. This is due to the PS4 having a timed-exclusivity deal between Sony and Activision. Like the first add-on, February's Awakening, Eclipse comes with 4 new maps multiplayer and a  Zombies map. The new multiplayer maps are called Spire, Rift, Knockout, and Verge. Verge is a reimagining of Call of Duty: World at War map Bonzai. Here are the official descriptions for the new Black Ops III maps:

  • 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. Utilize 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 architecture 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 center of a distant post-apocalyptic future, where two warring factions are entrenched in 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 new Zombies map is Zetsubou No Shima, which continues the story of the Black Ops Origins characters. Activision said “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”. You can watch the opening cut scene for the map below. You can get Eclipse by for $15 or by getting the $50 DLC pass for Black Ops III. What do you think of this DLC pack ? I'm really excited to see what the zombie's map is all about. 





UPDATE 5/5/16 - Eclipse comes to Xbox One player on May 19.
