Call of Duty: Black Ops III Eclipse DLC Hits PlayStation 4 Tomorrow

Written by Brandon Hofer on April 18, 2016

News: Activision has released a new trailer showcasing the next piece of downloadable content that is going to be available for Call of Duty: Black Ops III.

The second downloadable pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops III hits PlayStation 4 tomorrow but Activision has released a new trailer to whet your appetite while you wait. In addition to four new multiplayer maps, this new Eclipse DLC features an all-new Zombies experience that immerses players in an undead World War II Pacific theatre.

“The incredible amount of engagement and response to Black Ops III from our fans continues to inspire all of us at the studio,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head, Treyarch. “Eclipse continues to demonstrate our commitment to delivering the most exciting gameplay experiences possible with each DLC pack. We are pushing ourselves at every turn to craft new and unique ways to play.”

The four new maps that you will get with this new Eclipse DLC will include:

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. Utilise 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 centre 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.

Eclipse also sets the stage for Zetsubou No Shima, the all-new entry in the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies storyline that spans the four DLC Map Packs for Black Ops III this year. The Origins characters continue on their mission to stop the zombie apocalypse not only in this universe but in all universes. Our heroes find themselves stranded on a remote Pacific island which is home to the Division 9 facility: a secret biological research lab whose experiments with Element 115 and its effects on human, animal and plant biology has created horrors beyond belief. 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.

Take a look at the new trailer that was released today showing off the new maps, along with another trailer that shows off some of the new zombie content and tell us what you think. Will you be downloading Call of Duty: Black Ops III Eclipse when it arrives on PlayStation 4 tomorrow?
