Four New Diverse Multiplayer Maps, Including the Re-imagining of
the Call of Duty: World at War Classic, Banzai
All-New Terrifying Zombies Experience Sends
Players to the Shores of the Pacific In Next Chapter of Epic
Zombies Saga
Call of Duty®: Black Ops III Eclipse, the second DLC pack
for the No. 1 top-selling console video game of 2015, Call of
Duty: Black Ops III, is set to release on April 19, first for
the PlayStation 4 with other next-gen platforms to follow*. In
addition to a thrilling array of four new multiplayer maps,
Eclipse features an all-new Zombies experience that immerses
players in an undead World War II Pacific theater.
“The incredible amount of engagement and response to Black Ops
III from our fans continues to inspire all of us at the studio,”
said Mark Lamia, Studio Head, Treyarch. “Eclipse continues to
demonstrate our commitment to delivering the most exciting gameplay
experiences possible with each DLC pack. We are pushing ourselves
at every turn to craft new and unique ways to play.”
Eclipse comes packed with four new multiplayer maps:
Spire, Rift, Knockout; and Verge, a re-imagining of the Call of
Duty®: World at War classic, Banzai.
- 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 also sets the stage for Zetsubou No Shima, the
highly-anticipated, all-new entry in the Call of Duty: Black Ops
III Zombies storyline that spans the four DLC Map Packs for
Black Ops III this year. The Origins characters continue on their
mission to stop the zombie apocalypse not only in this universe but
in all universes. Our heroes find themselves stranded on a remote
Pacific island which is home to the Division 9 facility: a secret
biological research lab whose experiments with Element 115 and its
effects on human, animal, and plant biology has created horrors
beyond belief. Zetsubou No Shima features a foliage rich island map
including new terrifying zombie enemies, a variety of innovative
transport mechanics, more devastating traps and classic Zombies
side quests.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops III Eclipse DLC Map Pack is
available at a discounted rate via the Call of Duty: Black Ops
III DLC Season Pass**, which features 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
