'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' Havoc DLC: Exo Zombie And 4 New Maps Detailed Ahead Of January 27 Release Date [VIDEO]

The holiday season demonstrated the lasting power of the largest franchise in the shooter genre as the latest "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" became the biggest video game release of 2014. Now, the latest reports from Activision reveal that a substantial new DLC will be available very soon.

The zombie mode has quickly become one of the most popular game modes in the "Call of Duty" franchise. However, the latest "Advanced Warfare" did not offer a Zombie mode outright. Instead, Activision and Sledgehammer Games announced an all-new Exo Zombies game mode that will be available in the upcoming Havoc DLC.

The first "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" Havoc DLC featuring the Exo Zombie gameplay was unveiled last month. In the DLC, the privateer Atlas company successfully released its Manticore bio-weapon, which cause the exposed victims to become zombies. The new Havoc DLC also offers a new assault rife called the AE4-Widowmaker as well as four new multiplayer maps, including Core, Drift, Sideshow, and Urban.

The description for the four new "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" multiplayer maps are as follows:

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 motel'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 overwatch position 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.
