Call of Duty Black Ops: Escalation DLC Announced

A new Call of Duty Black Ops DLC has been announced (via Kotaku Australia) and it is slated for a May 3rd, 2011 release date.

There are four new multiplayer maps included in this pack: Hotel, Stockpile, Zoo, and Convoy. There will also be a new zombie map called Call of the Dead.

Escalation would be the second content pack released by Treyarch for Black Ops. First Strike was the first DLC released back in February for the Xbox and PS3. Expect the price of this DLC to be the same $14.99 as Black Ops: First Strike.Here is an advertisement that has since been pulled from retail websites.

Neither Activision nor Treyarch have officially announced the release or development of this content pack. The above image could very well be a fake photo created by a fan.

Whether this is legit or bogus is up to you. I don’t doubt we will see another Black Ops expansion. Sure it took Treyarch months to release a Call of Duty Black Ops demo, but who are we kidding here? A demo does not generate income as releasing an expansion pack.

Black Ops is the hottest game in the world right now, so if you are missing out on all of this then you better start playing the Black Ops demo.
