First Black Ops 3 DLC: What You Need to Know
Activision and Treyarch confirmed the first Black Ops 3 DLC this weekend as we learn about the Awakening Black Ops 3 map pack — coming first to PS4 and then to other systems at a later date. This is what you need to know about the first Black Ops 3 DLC pack for PS4, PC and Xbox One including the potential release date, what it includes and other key details.
Speaking at PSX 2015 this weekend Activision revealed four new Black Ops 3 maps for multiplayer and one for Black Ops 3 Zombies that you will get to play in 2016. We also learned that there is a new Black Ops 3 patch coming later this month to fix some problems and balance out the game.
This is what you need to know about Awakening, the first Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 DLC that arrives in 2016.
The Awakening Black Ops 3 map pack release date is not listed, but the odds are very good that it will arrive on the PS4 on January 26th.
Gamers will need to deal with a flip-flop in timed exclusivity which puts it on PS4 first. The PC and Xbox One Black Ops 3 DLC release date will arrive a month later in February, if this timeline holds up.
New Black Ops 3 Maps
In the presentation we learned that there are four new Black Ops 3 maps for the multiplayer experience. These include one remake, and three additional maps that may draw inspiration from older maps.

Skyjacked Black Ops 3 map.
Skyjacked appears to be a remake of Hijacked, from Black Ops 2. With the new thrust jumping in Black Ops 3, we could see a more vertical take on the map that includes wall running options.
The Black Ops 3 map Rise looks like a night map that may include snow. Some users suggest this could be a Silo remake, but it’s not a certainty. There are some similarities with a construction look and feel.

This could be a very fun vertical Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 map.
You’ll notice that one of the new Black Ops 3 maps looks like three maps in one. This could be a map that shifts the location throughout the level. We’ve seen this in other games with a volcano and an avalanche forcing users to switch to a new side.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 maps are in a simulation, which could be how you play three maps in one.
This may include some styling from older maps or it could be completely new. the only thing we feel confident in expecting is that this will deliver a varied level of game-play.

Even though we know little about the Splash Black Ops 3 map, it is one we want to play.
In the Splash Map we expect a completely new experience. We’ve seen Call of Duty maps set in entertainment areas before with Grind from Black Ops 2, and Splash looks like it will take us to a waterpark.
Hopefully it is more fun than the Aquarium map that shipped with Black Ops 3.
