Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare ‘Havoc’ DLC release date announced

If you've been patiently waiting for the next content drop for Activision's latest Call of Duty game, Advanced Warfare, you won't have to wait much longer, that is, if you're an Xbox gamer. The first DLC pack titled Havoc, will drop on January 27th exclusively on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and will come with four all new maps, as well as the much anticipated mode, Exo Zombies.

Havoc will be available for $15 individually, or will come as part of the Season Pass that can be purchased for $49.99. Opting for the Season Pass will allow you to get all four of the upcoming DLC packs for $10 cheaper than they would be individually.

Here is the description of the four multiplayer maps directly from Activision.

  • Core: Deploy to the Gobi desert where the ravaged ruins of a nuclear fusion plant set the stage for a high-octane warzone. Take down enemies through the wreckage in long-range combat or get up-close and personal in the tunnels surrounding the central turbine. Activate decontamination drones using the map-based scorestreak to help clean out the competition.
  • Urban: Prepare yourself for brutal, high-speed combat in Dallas Ward 3, a future mega structure, funneling players into a close-quarters free-for-all. This modular compound's verticality unleashes the exoskeleton's capabilities. Stay focused during the timed event as blast doors alter the map's flow and sightlines.
  • Sideshow: In the shadow of Devil's Tower, Wyoming, this abandoned inn's open layout amplifies its creep factor. Blast your way through the clown inn with close-quarters battles or use long-range site-lines from the mining facilities and natural terrain. Use the map-based scorestreak to activate the lights, music, and magic of the clown marquee and rain down a barrage of rainbow smoke-trailed cannonballs.
  • Drift: An idyllic ski resort high in the Rocky Mountains is transformed into a festive high-altitude playground, perfect for an all-out firefight. Make your way to the highly contested over watch in the glass observation deck or take a ride on the carousel to deliver 360 degrees of carnage. Players can use the map-altering timed event to their advantage as an avalanche of snow and debris disorients players, intensifying the battle.

As is now standard for Zombie modes in Call of Duty games, the mode will come with an all-star celebrity cast, consisting of John Malkovich (In the Line of Fire, RED, Burn After Reading), Bill Paxton (Aliens, Titanic, Edge of Tomorrow), Rose McGowan (Planet Terror, Scream), and Jon Bernthal (Fury, The Walking Dead). They'll be playing four employees of the Atlas corporation, trying to survive a zombie outbreak thanks to a DNA bioweapon. Jon Bernthal (Shane in The Walking Dead) should have no problem taking these hoards on.

Will you be recruited by the first DLC when it drops in two weeks, or are you skipping out on Activision's latest expansion to their most popular franchise? Let us know!
