| Black Ops 3 Zombies fans can look forward to more adventures connected with The Giant |
ACTIVISION has shed more light on the Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Season Pass and Zombies mode action that won't be available on Xbox 360 or PS3.
UPDATE ONE: Treyarch have teased a new story expansion for Black Ops 3 Zombies, via The Giant Bonus Map.
Speaking during the Juggernog Edition Unboxing with Activision's Scott Lowe, Treyarch’s Jason Blundell revealed that the main Shadows of Evil storyline looked set to cross paths with the original characters of the Zombies universe.
The Giant is a remake of the map Der Riese found in Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops and includes Dempsey, Nikolai, Richtofen, and Takeo in an expanded plot with Edward Richtofen.
When asked if fans could hope for the original Zombies story to continue past The Giant Bonus Map, Blundell commented: "Absolutely."
"There is a definite story we're telling and with Black Ops 3 and our DLC to come, it allows us to pick up some of the old threads that we left open for a while, close certain loops and open new threads," he added.
"It'll Really give people something to invest in when they play one map and it connects into furthers maps, because of the holistic approach we took in terms of thinking it all at once.
"It means we can put more seeds in."
ORIGINAL: Bo3 has four planned DLCs set to be launched, including re-imagined maps from Call of Duty: World at War and the Call of Duty: Black Ops series.
New Zombies mode chapters will be included in these packs being released in 2016, along with the pre-order Zombies bonus map "The Giant".
"Set in a World War II-era research facility featuring the weapon-upgrading Pack-a-Punch Machine, re-live the chaos of Treyarch's classic "Der Riese" Zombies map, picking up the Zombies story with Dempsey, Nikolai, Richtofen, and Takeo where Origins left off," Activision teased.
However, the Season Pass and "The Giant" Zombies bonus map are not available on Xbox 360, a posting on the Xbox Store has confirmed.
It is expected to be revealed later that the PS3 will also not features a Season Pass.
It should be noted that US retailer Gamestop are only stocking Season Passes for Xbox One and PS4, as of this time.
