With a lot of gamers having invested in the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" game, there is an immense amount of speculation and anticipation about the upcoming third DLC for it. However, in addition to the DLC, "The Giant" map for the Zombies mode became available recently.

The news that "The Giant" map was going to be made available as a DLC for the game arrived recently in a Tweet that was sent out from the Call of Duty Twitter account. In the tweet, Activision stated that the map is now going to be available for standalone purchase on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PlayStation 3 consoles and also on the PC.

More importantly, the tweet also included a link to the website maintained for the game where Activision provided more details about it. In the blog post, the company noted how the map was a remake of "Der Riese" and it was being made available for purchase "a la carte." Before this opening up of the map for purchase for all those who already have the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" game, it was only available for those who have invested in specification editions. These included the Hardened Edition, Digital Deluxe Editions, Juggernog Edition and also the Season pass for the game.

As the details about the availability of "The Giant" map for the game were being made public by Activision, news also emerged that it would also be offered for the Xbox 360 soon.

In this particular map which has proven to be very popular with gamers, players can head to the research station that was also featured in "Der Riese." Here, characters such as Dempsey, Richtofen, Nikolai and Takeo will take on the Zombie menaces. It was expected that this particular map would be offered soon for the game when it was spotted on the PlayStation store but rumors are also pointing toward a third DLC pack arriving soon and possibly around June 21.
