14 DAY TRIAL // After releasing the Call of Duty: Black Ops Annihilation DLC for the Xbox 360 at the end of last month, Activision and Treyarch have confirmed that PlayStation 3 owners are going to receive the map pack on July 28 for their own platform.
Call of Duty: Black Ops has broken sales records since its release last year and is still extremely popular due to its addictive online multiplayer and the constant stream of maps for the mode that have been released by its development studio, Treyarch.
Now, after the third map pack, called Annihilation, was released for the Xbox 360 at the end of June, the studio, together with Activision, the game's publisher, have confirmed a launch date for the downloadable content for the PlayStation 3.
Owners of the Sony console will be able to purchase the new Annihilation DLC on July 28 from the PlayStation Store, for the already traditional cost of $14.99, on July 28.
In case you forgot about the four multiplayer versus maps included in Annihilation, or the cooperative Zombies level, check out a brief description below, straight from Treyarch itself.
"Take the fight to "Hangar 18," located in the iconic military base Area 51, complete with experimental weapons labs, the SR-71 test hangar, and a disturbingly mysterious autopsy room. Pull up and get cozy with "Drive-In," a close quarters slugfest through a 60's American drive-in theater, classic arcade, and old school snack shack.
"Battle through the construction of a massive secret Soviet missile site in the multilevel "Silo," and then take off to a coastal golf course fit for a dictator in "Hazard," set on the cliffs of Cuba where stocked clubhouses and manicured fairways meet sand traps perfect for setting up ambushes.
"Zombies return with vengeance in the mysterious land of "Shangri-La," a legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle. Never before seen undead creatures lurk within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns. Step carefully through deadly traps and solve the dark secrets buried within the shifting walls of a long last land."
What's more, after the release of Annihilation on July 28, the following weekend will be a special double XP one, in celebration of the new downloadable content for Call of Duty: Black Ops.
