The newest downloadable content for the PlayStation 4 version of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" now has an official release date.

According to the video trailer, the maps in the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" Awakening DLC will include an area called Gauntlet. It is reportedly a map that is based around a military facility location that has several different environments. Then there is a map called Splash, which is based on a colorful area that used to be an old waterpark.

Another map that comes with the new DLC is called the Rise, which is a snow-capped abandoned construction facility. Lastly, the other map that is included in the upcoming downloadable content is called the Skyjacked, which is a reimagined version of the old Hijacked map from "Black Ops 2."

The upcoming expansion pack will also come with a brand new zombie map dubbed as Der Eisendrache, which will be included in a new zombie gameplay arc.

"Since Black Ops III launched last month, the response from our community has been incredible in every way," Treyarch Studio Head Mark Lamia said in a press release. "With Awakening, the studio is focused on creating a wide variety of gameplay experiences for our fans in Multiplayer and Zombies that will keep players coming back for more."
