Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC Leaks Ahead of Official Reveal

Leaked promotional material appears to have revealed Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Revolution, exposing the game’s first major DLC pack before an official announcement from Activision or Treyarch.

The image identifies four new multiplayer maps named Downhill, Grind, Hydro and Mirage, alongside a new Zombies map called Die Rise.

Downhill appears to take multiplayer into a snowy environment, while Hydro is shown around a large dam. Mirage depicts a desert setting, with Grind appearing to take place at a skate park.

More unusually, the leaked material also lists the Peacekeeper, indicating that Revolution will introduce a new multiplayer weapon alongside its maps.

Activision and Treyarch have yet to officially confirm the leaked DLC at the time of writing, so its contents and release details should remain treated as unconfirmed until an announcement is made.

The leak subsequently proved accurate. Activision officially announced Revolution on 8 January 2013, confirming Downhill, Grind, Hydro and Mirage as its four multiplayer maps alongside the Die Rise Zombies map.

The Peacekeeper was also confirmed as a bonus multiplayer weapon, making Revolution the first Call of Duty DLC pack to introduce a downloadable multiplayer weapon. The hybrid SMG came with its own weapon challenges for earning additional XP.

Activision’s announcement revealed another feature not fully explained by the original promotional leak. Turned was a new Zombies mode that reversed the usual roles by allowing players to compete as zombies against a lone human survivor.

Revolution launched first for Xbox 360 on 29 January 2013 for $14.99 or 1,200 Microsoft Points and was included with the Black Ops 2 Season Pass. PlayStation 3 and PC versions followed in February.

The DLC became the first of four major Black Ops 2 map packs, followed later in 2013 by Uprising, Vengeance and Apocalypse.
