On the heels of a leaked GameStop promotional poster showing a new map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops, Activision officially announced the Annihilation DLC pack today.
This is the third map pack to be released for Black Ops, matching the number received by Treyarch's previous CoD title, World at War. It'll include four new competitive multiplayer maps carrying the names seen in the leak: Drive-In, Silo, Hazard, and Hangar 18. It also includes a new Zombies "experience" called Shangri-La, described by Treyarch boss Mark Lamia as "an exotic and mysterious map filled with deadly traps, dark secrets and innovative gameplay that will challenge even the most daring Zombie hunters."
As with the previous two map packs, it'll be coming to Xbox 360 first, presumably at the same 1,200 Microsoft Points ($15) price. It's scheduled for a June 28 release, followed by a double XP weekend event starting on July 1. PlayStation 3 and PC versions will follow a later time; no specific date for either platform was specified.
