According to a press release, Call of Duty: Ghosts players on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC can finally get their hands on Devastation, the second of four planned DLCs this year, on May 8th. A month after its release on Xbox platforms.
The DLC includes four small-to-medium sized maps for the multiplayer mode, a "Ripper" SMG/Assault Rifle, and the second episode of Extinction's four part episodic narrative.
Here's a description of the four new multiplayer maps in detail:
·Ruins: A multi-level Mayan temple with verticality suited for long-range weapons and underground pathways perfect for close-quarters showdowns. Skilled players that find and complete the map's unique Field Order will have the ability to become one of Hollywood's most formidable action film stars and the galaxy's ultimate hunter, the deadly Predator. As the Predator, players will brandish its dual wrist blades and shoulder-mounted plasma cannon, as well as be able to utilize the creature's keen hunting abilities to track down enemy players.
·Collision: The mangled remains of a cargo ship that's crashed into a New York City bridge. The map's tight corridors – made-up of burnt-out vehicles and demolished shipping containers – create a space perfect for run-and-gun players.
·Behemoth: Players battle atop a massive excavation platform in South America with long sight lines ideal for long-range weapons, while the confined interiors of the platform's control rooms make for intense SMG and Shotgun encounters.
·Unearthed: A reimagined version of the fan-favorite map "Dome" from Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3. "Unearthed" is full of new secrets and Cryptid artifacts for players to discover in this compact, versatile map, great for all play types.
The press release also gave a synopsis of the second episode of Extinction's four part episodic narrative called Episode 2: Mayday.
In the aftermath of the events at the Nightfall Program facility in the Alaskan wilderness, the Quick Reaction Force boards a mysteriously abandoned Chinese research vessel adrift in the South Pacific Ocean. Armed with multiple, mod-able versions of the Venom-X weapons that harness the power of Cryptid technology, players will pursue Captain Archer in an attempt to uncover what's become of Dr. Cross, all while battling against a new Cryptid enemy called the "Seeder," and culminating with players facing-off against a massive, 400-foot tall Cryptid beast from the deep – the "Kraken."
Additionally, the Ripper will have SMG and Assault Rifle configurations. If you are a season pass holder, you can access the Ripper now in all multiplayer maps. Check out the trailer of the DLC that we posted early on.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Devastation DLC will be available on PS3, PS4, and PC on May 8th at $14.99. However, it is already available for purchase on Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms.
