Apocalypse Confirmed As Next & Final Black Ops 2 Map Pack

Yesterday we brought you the story regarding a mysterious trailer released by Treyarch that hinted at the next and final DLC pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Well Treyarch and Activision have now released the details following the ‘Origins’ trailer tease and we have all the details for you.

The final DLC pack will be called ‘Apocalypse’ and it will include four new competitive multiplayer maps and a new zombie’s map. As always with Call of Duty content, Apocalypse will launch on the Xbox 360 first, arriving on August 27th for 1200MSP and then will follow shortly afterwards on other formats (usually around a month later). This content will be available to all Black Ops 2 Season Pass holders at no extra cost.

Below are the official details for the new maps, including the new zombies map:

• Pod: A failed utopian community from the 70’s has left stacks of dilapidated residential pods nestled into an abandoned cliff side in Taiwan. Its residents long gone, the modernist compound now hosts frenetic combat as players must run atop the pods, as well as navigate their multi-tiered interiors for a strategic edge.
• Frost: Fresh snow meets explosive gunpowder in this snow-capped European city, where the bridge over a frozen canal separates it into two sides, requiring players to employ multi-level traversal strategies to outsmart and ultimately outshoot their enemies.
• Takeoff: Fans of Stadium from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops First Strike DLC will find themselves at home on Takeoff. Marooned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this remote launch site is all about close-quarters combat, combining tight corners with open spaces for intense encounters.
• Dig: An adaptation of the fan-favourite Courtyard from Call of Duty: World at War, where two archaeological dig sites in Afghanistan become the perfect playground for combatants eager for hectic, unceasing confrontations. Treyarch, has retained the spirit of Courtyard with two major chokepoints, a wide open layout and raised platforms, but has provided fans with a fresh take on the multitude of paths.

The new zombies map will see players pitted in a “Dieselpunk-stylized World War I-era France” and will see the return of Tank, Nikolai, Takeo, and Rictofen. Below are the official details of the new zombie map:

Apocalypse also reveals Origins, the most horrifying and imaginative Zombies experience to date. Players will be deployed to Dieselpunk-stylized World War I-era France where they will encounter the return of the four original heroes from the very first Zombies map, Tank, Nikolai, Takeo, and Rictofen, as well as hordes of zombies that have overrun trenches and fields, as well as the ruins of a mysterious and ancient location.

Unleashed after the Germans unearthed the mysterious “Element 115,” this next chapter in the Zombies legacy will explore the saga’s origins as players reunite with an unlikely band of soldiers that come together to defeat the greatest evil the world has ever seen, using a period-specific arsenal that includes Wonder Weapons that harness supernatural powers, a diesel-drone and Mark IV tank, as well a new perk machine and power-ups – and that’s just the start. Players will need all the help they can get to succeed in defeating the undead, as well as evading an unprecedented 1,000-foot tall robot abomination. In this stylized undead adventure, they’ll need every advantage if they have any hope of surviving one of Treyarch’s deepest Zombies experiences to date.
