Though the map was first announced as part of special Collector Editions and would only accessible to Season Pass owners, now players may purchase “The Giant” at their leisure for $5.99 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and PC. “The Giant” is the second Zombie map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and the eighteenth map overall in the mode.
The map, a remake of the “Der Riese” Zombies map, takes the player to a research facility “featuring the weapon-upgrading Pack-a-Punch Machine,” according to the Steam description.
The map picks up the story of Origins characters Tank Dempsey, Edward Richtofen, Nikolai Belinsky, and Takeo Masaki as they fight the swarms of the living dead.
The multi-platform software developer Treyarch kicked off Zombies mode in 2008 with Call of Duty: World at War. The game mode has grown into what some say is the best thing about the first-person shooter series.
