Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will get DLC in 2015
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the flagship launch for Activision each year and the company needs to show the community that its title will be supported in the long term in order to make sure that sales continue to be generated.
The development team has already said that it has four major downloadable content packs planned for the shooter, the first of which will be offered at an unspecified date early in 2015, at first on the Xbox One and the 360 and then on other platforms.
Gamers will be able to experience some new maps and modes and the Zombie mode will probably also be expanded.
