Two weeks ago, Activision finally confirmed that the next Call of Duty Black Ops 3 DLC pack, called Descent, was going to be released during July on PlayStation 4 in all regions, with the PC and Xbox One release coming the following month. And the day has finally come for PS4 Black Ops 3 players to enjoy some brand new multiplayer maps and more additional content.
The Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Descent DLC pack is now available for purchase and download on PlayStation 4 in all regions. Like the previous pack, Descent includes four new multiplayer maps and a new Origins Zombie experience called Gorod Krovi, which features dragons and plenty of zombie infantry. As already mentioned, Descent is expected to release on PC and Xbox One next month.
The four new multiplayer maps included in the Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Descent pack are called Empire, Cryogen, Bersek and Rumble. The Empire map is a re-imagining of the Black Ops 2 Raid map so fans of the previous CoD game by Treyarch will definitely appreciate its inclusion.
Empire: Treyarch adapts its Black Ops III movement system to the Call of Duty®: Black Ops II fan favourite map Raid. The re-imagining of this classic, medium-sized map features an authentic Roman villa that has been “recreated by a modern-day eccentric billionaire,” where a classic map structure mixes with the new gameplay mechanics of Black Ops III.
Cryogen: Located far off the coast in the Dead Sea, an isolated compound holds some of the world’s most dangerous criminals in frozen isolation. Sentry towers keep watch over the small map’s circular design as frenetic combat is funneled around the prison’s cryogenic tubes, where opportunities for wall running attacks abound.
Berserk: Ancient sentinels from a lost civilization guard the entrance to Berserk, a Viking village frozen in time. Players will fight through blizzards, and control the center bridge as they navigate this medium-sized map’s wooden buildings, deadly rocky outcroppings, and tight chokepoints.
Rumble: Gamers battle amongst larger-than-life mechanized warriors in Rumble, a stadium where giant robots battle to the roar of the crowd. This medium-sized map funnels high-speed combat to the central arena, where players battle their way through fallen mechs and pyrotechnics.
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Descent is now out on PlayStation 4 in all regions. A precise release date for the PC and Xbox One version has yet to be confirmed.
