Just like Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s gameplay materials for February’s Awakening, Eclipse is primed to contain four separate multiplayer maps, as well as a brand new Zombies map. The new areas for the title’s online multiplayer are called Spire, Rift, Knockout, and Verge, with Verge being a re-done version of the Bonzai map in World at War, and the new Zombies content is called Zetsubou No Shima.

As found below in Activision’s and Treyarch’s official descriptions for Black Ops 3’s new multiplayer spots and Zombies materials in Eclipse, fans will be receiving what looks a bit like retreads of previous ideas from the franchise, as there’s another map in the sky and yet another military complex added. However, at least players can take solace in the fact that Zetsubou No Shima will be give them a continuation to Der Eisendrache’s story with the Origins characters in Zombies.

For those interested in what’s planned on being offered above, Black Ops 3 fans can purchase Eclipse as a standalone product for $15, or go all-in on the rest of the title’s DLC in the Season Pass for $50. If folks consider themselves to be an avid player of the FPS and wish to keep up with all of the online content in order to remain a worthy competitor, the best decision would be to go with the latter offer, as it will save $10 in the long run.

While all Black Ops 3 fans will be receiving every piece of the DLC on current generation platforms, Activision recently announced the Awakening map pack’s PS3 release date, which could indicate Eclipse’s availability on Sony’s last-gen system. However, the publisher failed to mention Xbox 360 in the declaration, meaning that fans playing Black Ops 3’s multiplayer on Microsoft’s older console could simply be stuck with the title’s base materials.

At any rate, it’s safe to say that plenty of fans are going to purchase Eclipse once it becomes available, for with Black Ops 3 being 2015’s top-selling game, there is a huge segment of the gaming market that will undoubtedly wish to extend the shelf-life of the title for as long as possible, even if it means getting seemingly repetitive materials. Hopefully, though, developers could stumble across our 2016 wishlist for the series, and heed our suggestions to avoid releasing stale content in the future.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is out now and is available for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
