‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’ news: Final DLC called ‘Salvation’ to be released, along with a 1.17 patch to fix game’s issues

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" will be getting the final DLC pack launch for Windows PC and Xbox One on Thursday, after getting its PlayStation 4 release. Along with it is a patch that will fix numerous issues and include a "Call of Duty: Zombies" chapter called "Revelations."

According to Charlie Intel, the DLC is called "Salvation," and it includes four maps for the multiplayer. The first one is called "Citadel," which is set in the ruins of a medieval castle. Next up is the map called "Micro," which depicts the map as a picnic where the players as being the size of ants. The map "Outlaw" is the Wild West version of an old map from "Black Ops 2" called "Standoff." And, finally, we've got "Rupture," a map that is a nod to the "Call of Duty: World at War" multiplayer map "Outskirts," albeit portrayed as a high-tech facility.

The Salvation DLC also brings in the final chapter of the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's" Origins Zombies storyline called "Revelations."

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" Salvation DLC was already released on Sept. 6 for the PS4; and now Xbox One and PC will get an Oct. 6 launch. The DLC costs $49.99 with the Season Pass subscription and is available for $14.99 individually on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only.
