Top-Selling Game of 2015 Launches Highly
Anticipated First DLC Map Pack First on PlayStation 4
Awakening DLC Map Pack Features 4 New
Multiplayer Maps, Including the Re-Imagining of Fan Favorite Map,
Hijacked, and an All-New Zombies Adventure with the Cast from
Origins
Call of Duty®: Black Ops III Awakening, the first DLC
pack for the No. 1 top-selling video game of 2015, is available
now, first on the PlayStation® Network for the PlayStation 4, with
other platforms to follow*. The highly anticipated
Awakening, from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), and
award-winning game developer Treyarch, delivers four new, epic
multiplayer maps in addition to an all-new Zombies experience.
Awakening features:
- Skyjacked: High above urban Zurich,
Skyjacked is a modernized version of the popular Call of Duty®:
Black Ops II multiplayer map Hijacked. Utilizing the new core
movement system featured in Black Ops III, this map gives players
new ways to explore the environment, while still retaining the same
fast and frenetic gameplay players love.
- Splash: Dive into battle in this abandoned
water park, featuring a vibrant and colorful environment, including
waterslides, a wrecked pirate ship and a lazy river. Splash
encourages an open flow of combat with opportunities for underwater
gameplay.
- Gauntlet: Delivering three unique
environments within one action-packed map, Gauntlet showcases
Treyarch’s classic three-lane map structure, transporting players
into battle through a sprawling jungle, sub-zero arctic zone and
rainy urban cityscape.
- Rise: A versatile multiplayer map,
Rise is set in the snowy outskirts of Zurich in the middle of an
ongoing construction site for a massive subterranean Coalescence
research campus. With multiple engagement areas throughout this
larger map, each section caters to different styles of
gameplay.
“Treyarch’s commitment to our fans with Awakening, and all
season long, is to keep delivering you the goods,” said Mark Lamia,
Treyarch’s Studio Head. “Great times lay ahead for players of Black
Ops III, with both finely crafted new maps and reimagined
multiplayer classics. And for Zombies fans…your commitment to us
pays off all season long, starting with Der Eisendrache.”
Awakening also introduces the first chapter of Call of
Duty: Black Ops III’s Zombies DLC adventure with Der
Eisendrache picking up where The Giant left off. Set in a chilling
medieval Austrian castle during World War II, players will embark
on an epic 4-part journey with the Origin characters Richtofen,
Nikolai, Takeo and Dempsey, spanning the DLC season. The ancient
site on which the castle sits was the scene of unspeakable horror
where massive deposits of Element 115 have recently been
discovered. Players will discover a variety of exciting plot twists
and surprises as they survive waves of the undead.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Awakening DLC Map Pack is
available at a discounted rate via the Call of Duty: Black Ops
III DLC Season Pass**, which features all four DLC Map Packs
planned for the year, as part of the discounted bundle offered at a
suggested retail price of $49.99. Individual purchase of DLC Map

Ops III is rated M for Mature with Blood and Gore, Drug
