Call of Duty: Black Ops – Annihilation DLC announced

Call Of Duty: Black Ops
Call Of Duty: Black Ops. There's a new map pack coming, but this isn't it.

Just a quick note to let you know that the third Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC pack has been announced. Entitled Annihilation it'll feature four multiplayer maps – Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo and Hazard – as well as a zombie experience named Shangri-La. According to Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia, the latter is set on, "an exotic and mysterious map filled with deadly traps, dark secrets and innovative gameplay that will challenge even the most daring Zombie hunters." I don't know, we have some pretty daring zombie hunters among the Gamesblog readership...

The pack will hit Xbox Live on June 28 as a timed exclusive. PlayStation 3 owners can expect it a month later. For some reason best known to Bobby Kotick, Activision isn't releasing any screenshots until 6pm (you see, this is what I mean by the obsessive drip-feed of information), but I'll update the story when I'm allowed to show them.

By the way, Activision will also be holding a Double XP weekend, starting Friday July 1. I might even get up to rank 20 at this rate!
