'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare': 'Havoc' DLC to launch Jan. 27, to pack Exo Zombies

The first DLC pack for "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" is geared up and ready to take off. Sledgehammer has announced that "Havoc" will finally be downloadable to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms come Jan. 27. 

The DLC will pack Exo Zombies, which players have been dying to see, plus an all-new set of multiplayer maps for more cutthroat action. Players are in for a bloodthirsty ride after a DNA bioweapon brings a pack of voracious mutants into being. These new breeds are after the underground Atlas research facility and everyone in it. 

According to GameSpot, four untrained and inexperienced survivors must face the mutants. It features John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan and Jon Bernthal.  Meanwhile, the game studio has not shared the complete details about the maps to come but GameSpot offered a detailed listing of the multiplayer maps.

The first one is dubbed "Core," which takes players to the Gobi desert in a derelict of a nuclear fusion plant. Players can set off decontamination drones and kill opponents either up close or from an outlying position, whichever way they want it. Gamers can also go "Urban," which has a mega structure called the Dallas Ward 3 as a battlefield. Then there's one called "Sideshow," which add the horrors of a dilapidated motel in Wyoming eerily named Devil's Tower in the massive killing mission.  Lastly, players can trudge through the "Drift" in a ski resort called Rocky Mountains. The arctic locale doubles as an apposite inferno, where a full-scale warfare is best staged. 

A hot, new assault rifle called AE4-Widowmaker will be made available for players to be equipped in ravaging through the ramped up action. The "Havoc" DLC is priced at $15. It will be included in the game's Season Pass, which costs $49.99. It will go along with the other three packs Sledgehammer is set to release — "Ascendance," "Supremacy," and "Reckoning." PS4, PS3 and PC players would have to wait until the end of February to enjoy the new goodies.
