Advanced Warfare's Ascendance pack arrives March 31
Activision have reconfirmed details for the upcoming second DLC pack Ascendance for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and confirmed that it will be released on Xbox 360 and Xbox One on March 31 (other platforms to follow once the exclusivity period lapses - likely at the very end of April).
Ascendance adds four new multiplayer maps, a bonus weapon and custom weapon variant as well as a new Exo Grappling ability. It also features the continuation of the ExoZombies saga with Hollywood stars John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan and Jon Bernthal making up the cast.
"Ascendance has it all, four all-new maps that were designed from the ground up for Exo abilities and the next chilling entry in the Exo Zombies experience. We're really excited and can't wait to play with the community in just a couple of weeks," said Michael Condrey, Co-Founder and Studio Head, Sledgehammer Games.
"The community response to Advanced Warfare continues to inspire us, and we're pushing ourselves every day across all the teams to deliver our best. Havoc was a great start for DLC and we think Ascendance delivers even more of the nonstop action fans love," said Glen Schofield, Co-Founder and Studio head, Sledgehammer Games.
The new maps are detailed as follows in the press release:
Perplex: Get vertical in Sydney as you fight to dominate this five-story modular apartment complex. Take the high ground or blast through the close-quarters interior in this small to medium sized map. Adapt your strategy mid-match when construction drones shift apartment modules, creating new routes and cover positions.

Site 244: An alien spacecraft has crash landed, spilling its mysterious cargo under the shadow of Mt. Rushmore, USA. This medium to large three-lane map allows for any style of gameplay, focusing combat through the space ship's fuselage and around the debris-littered landscape. Use the map-based scorestreak to crack open an alien spore and instantly enhance your perks and exo abilities.
