Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s fourth and final map pack, Reckoning, will release on Xbox One and Xbox 360 next Tuesday, August 4, Activision has announced.

As usual, Reckoning will include four new maps – Overload, Quarantine, Fracture and Swarm – plus the final episode of Advanced Warfare’s Zombies saga. A new Trident Reflected Energy Weapon is thrown in as well.

  • Overload: Enjoy the grand view of downtown New Baghdad from this exotic compound, complete with fountains, gardens and decorative plasma lamps. The map’s multiple levels and long perimeter site-lines highlight medium to long-range combat and firing a shot at the lamps will send enemies flying in a burst of energy.
  • Quarantine: Following a deadly viral outbreak, the island has been converted into a biological testing centre.  This medium sized map’s tight corners dial up the speed and open areas combine to allow for any style of gameplay.  Activate the map-based scorestreak to unleash a devastating ship-fired missile strike.
  • Fracture: Discover what secrets are locked in the ice in this arctic excavation site. Take refuge behind wind turbines and heavy equipment through large combat areas cradled on the shelf of a glacier. Stay alert as the timed event cracks the ice sheet, sending one lane sinking to the depths. 
  • Swarm: Reconstruction is underway in Seoul, South Korea, congesting narrow corridors of this small to medium sized map with vehicles and equipment. Take position in war-scarred storefronts that provide plenty of cover over the streets or flank the enemy through close quarter interiors in the centre of the map.

While a date for other platforms has yet to be announced, expect Reckoning to arrive on PS4, PS3 and PC in early September.

“What an amazing journey this has been,” said Sledgehammer co-founder Glen Schofield. “From the moment we began with prototyping Advanced Warfare all the way to the completion of our fourth DLC pack, Reckoning, it’s been an incredible experience. We’ve often said we have the best fans in the world and we mean it.  We look forward to continuing to support our fans.”

This year’s Call of Duty, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, releases on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 6. That game’s DLC will arrive on PS3 and PS4 first.
