Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 Release Date Details, Review & Maps
This is what you need to know about the Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release date and what you can count on inside the Black Ops 3 DLC 2 map pack. We also share the latest on how you may use contracts to unlock the 10th Black Ops 3 specialist.
The PS4 Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release date arrived on April 19th. The PC and Xbox One Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release date was May 19th.
The Xbox One Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release time arrived in the middle of the night and the PC Black Ops 3 DLC 3 release in the middle of the day.
Now that the Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC release is here for the PS4 and Xbox One, we want to walk through the important details that gamers need to know — including our Eclipse DLC review — and talk to buyers who are trying to decide if they want to buy the new maps.
After some initial problems loading the DLC, most gamers are able to access it by rebooting the Xbox One completely. If you have any issues, you can check out the troubleshooting section below including what to do if you are a season pass owner that sees a price on the Xbox One DLC 2 map pack.

We know what four of the new Black Ops 3 DLC 2 maps look like and where the Zombies Black Ops 3 DLC 2 experience takes place.
What you need to know about the Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC release date.
The Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC 1 arrived in February and March. Users who bought it alone can upgrade to the Season Pass to get all of the DLC packs.
Here is a closer look at the Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release details for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 Release Date & Time
The Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release date was May 19th on Xbox One and PC, after an initial arrival on PS4 in April.
You can now install the Eclipse DLC on Xbox One, but not on PC yet.
Sony offers a 30-day exclusivity window for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 DLC, which is why PS4 players gained access to the DLC early and other gamers had to wait.
We saw the Xbox One Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release time arrive shortly after 3 AM Eastern, about in line with the PS4. The PC Black Ops 3 DLC 3 release time came at 1 PM Eastern, 10 AM Pacific.
Sony includes a free dynamic Black Ops 3 DLC 2 theme that offers a look at the Ztsubou No Shima map on your PS4 dashboard. PS4 owners can go to store to buy Eclipse and get this new theme.
Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 Size
The Xbox One Black Ops 3 DLC 2 size is 7.92GB, which will take a while for you to download. This is slightly larger than the PS4 DLC 2 map pack that clocked in at 6.9GB. This difference may be due to added elements the fix issues or simply differences between consoles.
The Xbox One Black Ops 3 DLC 2 map pack is huge.
On Twitter David Vonderhaar announced that the maps are coming as a standalone download, not connected to a Black Ops 3 update. This is a change from the Awakening DLC, but it is not clear if we will still see a new Black Ops 3 update after the tweets from the PC Development Director at Treyarch.
We expect a similar PC Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 size when it shows up on Steam and the Xbox Store.
There is no Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 DLC 2 pre-load for Eclipse for Xbox One and PC. When the PS4 Eclipse Pre-load started Season Pass owners in the UK and other territories could not pre-load.
Although the PS4 was able to pre-load there was no option to pre-load the PC and Xbox One Eclipse DLC in May.
With our PS4 on rest mode and the DLC pre-ordered we turned it on in the morning to find that the Eclipse DLC was installed. You may be able to do the same thing on your PS4 now, or even remotely using the PlayStation App to pre-order.
https://twitter.com/DavidVonderhaar/status/721556780396863488
You should expect a long wait as you download the Eclipse Black Ops 3 maps if you aren’t able to pre-load. Be sure to start this download as soon as possible, since even fast connections may take some time to download a 7.9GB file.
Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC Download Problems
If you cannot download the Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 map pack or play the new maps you need to try a few options that can help you get access to your new maps and Zombies.
If you do not see the Eclipse DLC 2 map pack in the Xbox Store or in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 store, you need to turn your Xbox One completely off and then wait about 15 seconds and reboot. This should fix most of the issues.
If you own the season pass, you will not be double charged.
Some users, including us, see a price for the Eclipse DLC 2 map pack, even though we have a season pass. Activision is aware of this issue. If you do have the season pass, you can click on the buy option and you will not be charged extra.
If you are having trouble finding the Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC add-on you can use these directions on the Xbox One.
- If you purchased the DLC in-game, you may need to completely exit the game to complete the download.
- Clear the cache or delete the game data on your console.
- If the DLC doesn’t download successfully or is unplayable, try downloading the DLC again.
- Be sure that your Xbox Live account allows you to download content.
On the PC you can try;
- Exit Steam.
- Navigate to your Steam directory (C:\Program Files\Steam\) or (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\) and delete the AppCache folder.
- Restart Steam and launch your game.
When in doubt you need to close the Black Ops 3 game and restart your console to fix most issues.
Black Ops 3 DLC 2 Review
After spending the last two weeks playing the new maps, this is our succinct Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 review. While I played on PS4, the overall experience should be the same on the Xbox One and PC.
I am a fan of all the new Black Ops 3 maps, but my favorites are Knockout and Spire. The visuals on Knockout are beautiful and varied and it plays well on many game modes.
Spire is just the right size for Kill Confirmed and while challenging is not as hard as Verge while playing Domination. I love the wallrun options on this map, even if landing in the center lobby is a very quick way to die.
Playing Domination on Verge is an exercise in frustration. The map looks great and it is fun for many game modes, but if you play domination you will likely want to throw in the towel on B flag if you aren’t the first to get it — unless you have a good team.
At first I hated Rift in Black Ops 3, but then I learned the layout better and where you could wall run around your opponents. After two weeks this is a map I enjoy seeing come up — especially for hardpoint.
I played these on the PS4 in the Bonus playlist that includes all the new maps and a variety of game modes. This uses Core rules across the different modes. The maps are in the general rotation, but I rarely found a new Black Ops 3 DLC 2 map in Hardcore Kill Confirmed.
The only way I would improve the experience is to include a special Hardcore bonus playlist of the new maps. Ultimately this is a fun map pack, and I don’t regret my Season Pass purchase.
Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 Maps
There are four Black Ops 3 DLC 2 maps in this Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC map pack. We provide an explanation and screenshots of each in the slides at the bottom of this post.
The slides at the bottom of the post include Eclipse Black Ops 3 gameplay videos as well as walkthrough videos. You can use both of these to see how the map plays and to explore the maps virtually.
- Verge – Remake of Bonsai from World at War
- Spire – Futuristic Space Airport
- Rift – Futuristic Military Complex on a Volcano
- Knockout – Shao Lin Temple Recreation on a Private Island
This offers one remake, that is upgraded to take advantage of the new movement system and three brand new maps. Several are bright and inviting, while one is dark and a little off-putting.
Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 Zombies – Zetsubou No Shima
Below and in the slides you will see more new Zombies Zetsubou No Shima gameplay.
https://youtu.be/GcRULIBgWFQ
The Black Ops 3 DLC 2 release will deliver a new Zombies experience that Jason Blundell of Treyarch calls “fundamentally disturbing” thanks to the atmosphere and artistry that goes into creating this map. We now have a better look at the Ztsubou No Shima trailer.
Treyarch announced the Zombies Black Ops 3 DLC contains four episodes that span the full Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Season Pass, and Zetsubou No Shima is the latest.
A familiar cast starts on a boat on the way to an island in Feudal Japan, and that is where things get crazy.
Use the slides below to get a closer look at the new Black Ops 3 maps and Zombies. We’ll update this with gameplay as soon as we have it.
Verge Map - Eclipse Black Ops 3 DLC 2 Remake | ||||||||
 | ||||||||
The first new Black Ops 3 DLC 2 map is Verge. This is a remake of Bonsai from World at War, and it is more than a new coat of paint. Below you will see a variety of Verge map gameplay featuring Domination and Uplink game modes. Treyarch updates the map to use the new movement mechanics. There is a bridge and a lot of verticality in the map that allows players to move around with jumping and wallrunning. You will not see a map that is a carbon copy of Bonsai. Early gameplay videos compare the map to Mad Max and commenters say it has a Borderlands vibe to it. This takes place in a desolate wasteland set in a post apocalyptic future where two forces fight over water. Most of the action takes place in the middle of the map where a narrow bridge runs. You can see this in the videos above and below where you also see that there are tunnels and water to fight in. In all the Verge gameplay videos we watched there were interesting points that led to a lot of kills, as players quickly discovered how to surprise the enemy in spawns and places to camp in the area near the water. There are buildings you can go into to hide or to get an overwatch positions and a lot of cool detials inside these hideouts. There are a lot of flanking opportunities that will allow you to to get behind the enemy, or you can choose to fight through the center, if you are brave and or foolish enough. | ||||||||

Andy Bennett

play der eisendrache and you can find Electric Cherry in the Wunderfizz
Mob is only one Treyarch game old, it is to new to be remade and that would not make sense.

Some people don’t have the money or there parents won’t let them buy these new maps why don’t you just let everyone play them. Not everyone is rich like you bo3.❤️Bo3

Because everyone has to make money. Hardworking individuals earn their money and their payoff allows them to do the things they want. If you expect to get everything handed to you you’re going to be very disappointed for the rest of your life.

The same thing happened to nuk3town, I don’t to suffer after spending 50 bucks.
Andy Bennett
04/13/2016 at 8:44 am
Treyarch doesn’t have much say about the business model for DLC. Activision makes them do things like have weapons in supply drops and make DLC cost money.
Also, if you are young enough that your parents have a say in what video games you play, they you are not old enough to be playing COD, which is rated M for ages 17 and older. So don’t complain if you get to play it at all against the law lol
Jp Fox
04/20/2016 at 1:17 pm
It isn’t illegal. The ratings are mostly a suggestion, I have been playing Call of Duty games since I was in elementary school.

If you have the season pass do you automatically get the new maps for free
Antuan
04/01/2016 at 9:50 am
No but you get map packs for 5$ instead of$14.99
rich
04/07/2016 at 7:05 am
you get them free
Andy Bennett
04/13/2016 at 8:49 am
Antuan is a troll, the season pass gets you all four packs the day they are available on your system. They are not free because you paid $$ for the season pass. Once you buy the season pass you don’t pay any more money. It is like pre-ordering the four DLC packs.
FuZZyMuFFinZ880
04/03/2016 at 8:28 am
Yes thats what the season pass is for. Don’t listen to these jackasses
ultra
04/03/2016 at 10:08 pm
Each DLC costs 15 dollars ( all 4 add up to $60.00 ) The season pass costs $50.00 and it comes with all 4 dlcs and the bonus zombie map “The giant”. Hope that helps :)

The point storage and weapon storage was what made buried the easiest map of all time, treyarch wants to move on to harder and more challenging maps so records mean something

I think the older bo1 and bo2 zombies was much more fulfilling and enjoyable to play. Concept was simple you save points to upgrade your stuff and buy perks then u get awesome guns and survive for as long as possible. It was your choice whether you wanted to spent hours trying to do the easter egg. However in bo3 everything is like a mini easter egg and is so time consuming u have to spend to much time grinding in the beginning only to die. As of now there is no way to upgrade the apothican servant from shadows of evil. Don’t get me wrong though i love zombies a lot and have made it to round 50+ on several occasions but i can’t just jump on and have a quick game anymore.
Andy Bennett
04/13/2016 at 8:54 am
Are you joking? Go play Mob of the Dead or Origins and let me know how just getting to pap isn’t a “mini easter egg”. If you want simplicity you need to go back to WaW.
I agree that shadows it was too hard to open the pap but in der eisendrache it is perfect. Easy to pap and easter egg stuff is optional.

Domestic horses have a lifespan of around 25 years.
A 19th century horse named ‘Old Billy’ is said to have lived 62 years.
Horses have around 205 bones in their skeleton.
Horses have been domesticated for over 5000 years.
BotsMagots
04/08/2016 at 9:03 am
Horses are herbivores (plant eaters).
Horses have bigger eyes than any other mammal that lives on land.
Because horse’s eyes are on the side of their head they are capable of seeing nearly 360 degrees at one time.
Horses gallop at around 44 kph (27 mph).
The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse was 88 kph (55 mph).
BotsMagots
04/08/2016 at 9:03 am
Estimates suggest that there are around 60 million horses in the world.
Scientists believe that horses have evolved over the past 50 million years from much smaller creatures.
A male horse is called a stallion.
A female horse is called a mare.
A young male horse is called a colt.

First of all, this latest edition to the zombies series “Zetsubou No Shima” takes place during World War 2. Feudal Japan was something that ended way before the 1900’s, so in no way does this map take place in Feudal Japan. Feudal Japan started way back in the 12th century and ended in the 19th century. Why is this website giving out false information?

Heather
05/06/2016 at 6:53 pm
My eclipse is loading as well, so excited to play the new map. Im glad i have the season pass, because it automatically tells me on my black ops 3 game that i have a new update. The castle map was pretty difficult so im kinda eager to see whats to come in this new map. Plus finally were not surrounded by buildings were actually gonna be in a dark scary jungle. Mines already at 82% and i get to finally play. Im usually the only girl that plays online majority of the online players are males. Would be nice to have a female player, only problem is she has to be good because i dont have the patients to worry about weaklys js.
Heather
05/06/2016 at 6:56 pm
Did anyone actually figure out the dragon mission on the castle map? If you keep feeding all the dragons youll get bow and arrows. Its pretty sick. Plus liquid divinium really helps alot if youre a zombie killer.

Can anybody else confirm that once they purchased the Eclipse DLC, the Awakening DLC no longer becomes available? I have the season pass and after I downloaded the new maps I noticed that the old DLC was no longer a choice to choose from. That would be very dumb.. I paid $50 so I could have 8 extra maps..
