Activision has just confirmed yesterday’s rumors — Call of Duty: Black Ops is getting a third map pack, and it’s headed to Xbox Live on June 28.
According to a press release sent out by Activision early this morning, the third map pack, titled Annihilation, will add four new competitive maps — Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo and Hazard — as well as a fifth map for zombie mode called Shangri-La.
“With Annihilation, Black Ops fans will get four exciting and unique multiplayer settings with Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo and Hazard,” said Treyarch boss Mark Lamia. “Players will also enjoy an all-new Zombies experience, Shangri-La, an exotic and mysterious map filled with deadly traps, dark secrets and innovative gameplay that will challenge even the most daring Zombie hunters.”
To celebrate the occasion, Treyarch will be holding a double XP weekend starting on July 1.
As was the case with the previous two map packs, Annihilation will be a timed Xbox 360 exclusive with a PlayStation Network and PC release due out about a month after.
