Following the release of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" in November 2015, the game's developer has been releasing DLC packs since the beginning of the year. Half of the DLCs are already out and as for the upcoming ones, details have already leaked including the release dates and expected improvements.
According to a Video Games blog listing, all the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" DLCs that Activision is going to release this year are itemized into four packs. The list includes both the date and the affected consoles.
The ones already released include "Black Ops 3" Map Pack 1 (Awakening), which was released on Feb. 2 for PS4 and on March 3 for Xbox One and PC, and "Black Ops 3" Map Pack 2 (Eclipse) released on April 19 for PS4 and on May 19 for Xbox One and PC. The third one is "Black Ops 3" Map Pack 3 for PS4, which was released on Tuesday this week and, which will be released on July 21 for Xbox One and PC.
The remaining DLC pack will be rolled out on Aug. 23 for PS4, and on Sep. 22 for Xbox One and PC. Up to now, gamers have enjoyed playing the first two "Call of Duty" DLC Packs and are waiting for the last two to arrive.
The first pack came with four maps on multiplayer mode, adding in Hijacked, Gauntlet, Splash, and Rise, plus a fresh Zombie Mode map. The second one, on the other hand, came with more maps namely, Spire, Knockout, Roft, and Spire, besides adding a new chapter in Zombie mode.
In the meantime, "Call of Duty: Black Ops" Map Pack 3, which is currently getting released, may include hints for another Zombie Mode along with a specialist in multiplayer selections dubbed Blackjack. Details about it are not clear, and so, "Call of Duty" fans should digest it with skepticism.
Notably, the PS4 versions of all the mentioned "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" DLCs were released before all the other consoles. This, according to Gamespot, owes to the partnership agreement between Activision and Sony.
Before the partnership, all "Call of Duty" DLC content launched first on Xbox platforms, after which Activision, ditched Microsoft and moved on to partner with Sony.
