Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 plotting big update for returning fans

Black Ops 3's Nuk3town is sure to peek fan interest

TREYARCH are plotting a big update for those Call of Duty fans buying Black Ops 3 in November.

 

Having completed the public beta on PS4, Activision have announced what bonuses fans can look forward to later in the year.

Reportedly the biggest beta on PlayStation 4 to-date, delivering the most downloads, gameplay sessions, and hours of gameplay to-date, according to Activision and PlayStation, plans for the return of the Nuketown Map have been officially unveiled.

A reimagined version of the popular multiplayer map is set to be included in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

However, there are no plans for the same map to appear on either the PlayStation or Xbox 360 versions.

Nuk3town for Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be available exclusively for GAME customers only who pre-order for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

"Set in the year 2065 and optimized for Black Ops 3’s new momentum-based, chained movement system, Nuk3town is all about the close-quarters, fast-paced combat fans have come to expect," the official announcement revealed.

Activision has confirmed that Nuk3town will be available on day one as a downloadable bonus map (as an in-box download code) for anyone who purchases Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
