'Call of Duty: Black Ops 3' Awakening DLC: New Trailer Teases 'Skyjacked' DLC Map
Video game publisher Activision has teased "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" fans with a new trailer for the game's upcoming Awakening DLC. The video previews one of the maps included in the expansion pack.
The new trailer (below) was posted to "Call of Duty's" YouTube channel on Friday, Jan. 22. It shows a short footage featuring the new map Skyjacked. Confirming previous rumors, the map is a remake of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's" Hijacked map, taking the high-end yacht out of the seven seas and turning it into a futuristic flying ship hovering over urban Zurich.
As mentioned, Skyjacked is part of the upcoming Awakening DLC, which features four new multiplayer maps. In addition to Skyjacked, the expansion pack includes Rise, Splash, and Gauntlet maps. Based on a promotional image (above) for the DLC, Rise appears to be set in a large construction zone covered in snow, Splash in a water park complete with pools and slides, and Gauntlet looks to be set in several or randomly selected biomes.
