More On: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

Four new multiplayer maps and the opening chapter in the Zombies saga will hit the PS4 as a timed exclusive on April 19th. Eclipse, the latest DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, will include a re-imagining of the classic Banzai map in these four offerings:

  • 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

Eclipse will cost around $15, and is part of the Season Pass which nets all 4 planned DLC packs for a total of $49.99. Eclipse will follow on other platforms in the future, although nothing concrete has been announced it's typically a month later, so mid-May is a good guess. However, Eclipse and other subsequent DLCs will not be made available to last-gen platforms. Sorry PS3 and Xbox 360. Take a look at the Prologue trailer for Eclipse below.
