Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 ‘Descent’ DLC Out in July; Has a Giant Dragon

The third DLC pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, called Descent, arrives on the PlayStation 4 on July 12th. It will release a month later on the Xbox One and Windows PC.

The DLC pack adds four new multiplayer maps and Gorod Krovi, the next chapter in the Zombies saga.

 

Here are details on the four new maps:

Empire: Treyarch adapts its Black Ops III movement system to the Call of Duty: Black Ops II fan favorite 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.


Descent is now available for pre-order on PlayStation 4 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.
