All-New Descent DLC Pack Features Four Intense
Multiplayer Maps Set in Exotic Locales and the Next Chapter of the
Origins Zombies Story Gorod Krovi
Descent, the third DLC pack for Call of Duty®: Black
Ops III, the best-selling console video game on next generation
platforms*, is available today, first on PlayStation 4 with other
next-gen platforms to follow**. Published by Activision Publishing,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ATVI) and developed by Treyarch, Call of Duty®: Black
Ops III Descent, takes players across the globe to four new
multiplayer locales and an all-new Zombies experience in the
classic Origins saga.
“From the beginning of development, Treyarch has been committed
to delivering the most epic gameplay experiences we have ever
created. Descent continues to make good on that promise, while
answering the community’s requests for a re-imagining of Raid, the
beloved multiplayer map from Call of Duty®: Black Ops II,” said
Mark Lamia, Studio Head, Treyarch. “In addition to four amazing
Multiplayer maps, the Zombies team is flat out bringing it with our
newest chapter, Gorod Krovi, harkening back to Treyarch’s roots,
with a twisted Stalingrad experience.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Descent comes packed with
four new multiplayer maps that offer fans non-stop run and gun
action in a cryogenic penitentiary, a Viking hamlet, a robot
death-match arena and a contemporary reconstruction of an ancient
Roman estate:
- Empire: Fan favorite map Raid returns,
re-imagined in this classic, medium-sized map as an authentic Roman
villa, where a classic map structure mixes with the new gameplay
mechanics of Black Ops III.
- Berserk: A Viking village frozen in time
enlists players to fight through blizzards, for control of the
center bridge. This medium-sized map features wooden buildings,
deadly rocky outcroppings, and tight chokepoints.
- Cryogen: Located far in the Dead Sea, this
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 and wall running
attacks abound.
- Rumble: Gamers battle amongst
larger-than-life mechanized warriors in this medium-sized map,
which funnels high-speed combat to the central arena, where players
battle their way through fallen mechs and pyrotechnics.
Descent transports players to an alternate-timeline of
Stalingrad in the newest twisted chapter of the Origins Zombies
storyline, Gorod Krovi. Players face-off against a swarm of
mechanized zombie soldiers and avoid hell-fire from aerial dragon
assaults, all in the midst of a raging battle within the remnants
of Nikolai’s motherland. Gorod Krovi delivers a harrowing Zombies
experience, filled with horrifying new enemies, exciting new
gameplay mechanics and an epic set of undead-annihilating
weapons.
