Activision and Treyarch have announced a September 26 release date for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Apocalypse DLC pack for PlayStation 3 and PC players.
Apocalypse is the fourth and final Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 DLC pack that was held back from release on PS3 and PC until the Xbox 360 timed exclusive window was scheduled to shut. It includes four multiplayer maps and the final chapter of Origins, the signature Black Ops 2 zombie experience.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Season Pass holders on PS3 and PC will be able to download the Apocalypse pack free of charge beginning September 26. Those without Season Pass will have to fork out $14.99 to acquire it.
Here are the Apocalypse maps to refresh your memory:
- Pod: A failed utopian community from the 70’s has left stacks of dilapidated residential pods nestled into an abandoned cliff side in Taiwan. Its residents long gone, the modernist compound now hosts frenetic combat as players must run atop the pods, as well as navigate their multi-tiered interiors for a strategic edge.
- Frost: Fresh snow meets explosive gunpowder in this snow-capped European city, where the bridge over a frozen canal separates it into two sides, requiring players to employ multi-level traversal strategies to outsmart and ultimately outshoot their enemies.
- Takeoff: Fans of “Stadium” from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops First Strike DLC will find themselves at home on “Takeoff.” Marooned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this remote launch site is all about close-quarters combat, combining tight corners with open spaces for intense encounters.
- Dig: An adaptation of the fan-favorite “Courtyard” from Call of Duty: World at War, where two archeological dig sites in Afghanistan become the perfect playground for combatants eager for hectic, unceasing confrontations. Treyarch, has retained the spirit of “Courtyard” with two major chokepoints, a wide open layout and raised platforms, but has provided fans with a fresh take on the multitude of paths.
