News: Some details are starting to emerge about what we will find in the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops III beta along with a new trailer.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is being released in a few months but before then is the multiplayer beta. The beta is set to take place a little later this month on both Xbox One and PS4 with PS4 gamers getting early access. If you have a PlayStation 4 you can begin playing the beta next week on August 19 while Xbox One gamers will have to wait until August 26th to jump in.

When you jump in to the beta you will have access to three maps, having been built from the ground up specifically for the new momentum-based chained movement system. The maps that will be available include:

Hunted - This big game hunting lodge is situated beneath a waterfall in the lush mountains of Ethiopia, where rugged terrain opens up to long sightlines and a stealthy underwater pathway.

Combine - Set in the remote Egyptian Sahara, this vertical farming and sustainability research facility plays fast and frenetic with tight interiors, an open middle and a dangerous flank path.

Evac - An abandoned emergency evacuation zone atop an overgrown rooftop in the middle of Singapore’s flooded quarantine zone.

With those maps comes a plethora of game modes that you will be able to try out. They will include modes such as Team Deathmatch, Demolition, Kill Confirmed, Capture the Flag, Search and Destroy and more.

You will need to pre-order Call of Duty: Black Ops III to gain access to this beta. Check out the trailer below that was released to coincide with this announcement and tell us what you think. Are you excited to try out the Call of Duty: Black Ops III beta?
