Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening DLC Drops February 2, Check Out The Official Reveal Trailer

Before breaking for the holidays, Call of Duty developer Treyarch dropped the official launch date and reveal trailer for Black Ops 3’s first downloadable content add-on, Awakening, arriving early next year.

According to the studio, Awakening lands first on PlayStation 4 on February 2 and will eventually make its way to Xbox One and PC at a later date — likely one month later. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 players are out of luck. Like map packs for previous Call of Duty games, Awakening comes with four new multiplayer maps and a new installment in an ongoing Zombies saga.

In the video above, Multiplayer Game Director Dan Bunting described a few of the new locations.

Gauntlet – A military training facility with three distinct paths running through three very different environments: dense jungle, thick snow, and rainy city streets.

Splash – A playful, vibrant map set in an abandoned water park with lots of opportunity for underwater traversal and combat.

Rise – A construction facility in Snowy Zurich. Bunting called it a classic and competitive Call of Duty map that he hope will be adopted into the eSports season.

Skyjacked – A reimagining of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’s Hijacked, rebuilt to encompass Black Ops 3’s new movements mechanics.

Director of Zombies Jason Blundell called Der Eisendrache the first chapter in an “epic time-traversing Zombies odyssey that will unfold over the course of Black Ops 3’s four DLC packs in 2016.” It’s set in a medieval castle surrounded by dark forces and also introduces four new Mega Gumballs.

You can check out some of the first off-screen gameplay footage of the new content in the trailer above. Awakening goes for $15 but is included in the Black Ops 3 Season Pass.
