Next Batch of Modern Warfare 3 ‘Call of Duty Elite’ Content Dated for PlayStation 3

If you’ve been patiently waiting for more Call of Duty Elite content to make its way to your PlayStation 3 copy of Modern Warfare 3, Activision community manager Dan Amrich said on his blog that the next content drop is set to release late this month.

The first of the Modern Warfare 3 content drops will be made available on March 29, which offers Call of Duty Elite subscribers the chance to pick up the ‘Overwatch’ map. A release for non-Elite subscribers is expected at a later date.

Following up on the release of Overwatch on PlayStation 3, Amrich reports that the next content drop is expected “on or around” April 12. Said DLC will include the ‘Black Box’ multiplayer maps along with the two new Spec Ops maps, ‘Black Ice’ and ‘Negotiator’.

In case you were wondering about the somewhat vague “on or around April 12” release date, Amrich offered up an explanation, saying:

“Why ‘on or around?’ Because the exact posting time for PSN DLC is up to Sony, since they run and update the PlayStation Store,” Amrich explained. Maybe that updated will be mid-morning, or maybe it will be late in that day; maybe that will make it actually technically the next day if you live in Europe, which would be ‘around 4/12.’

“Activision can’t promise a date because Activision doesn’t update the digital stores itself. I think of it as if Activision is Pepsi and Sony is the grocery store; we deliver the fizzy water, but they actually run the checkout line. Make sense?”
