Activision has announced that the first downloadable content (DLC) for "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" will be arriving to PlayStation 4 (PS4) on Jan. 31, 2017. Titled Sabotage, it will introduce four new multiplayer maps as well as a new Zombies co-op adventure called Rave in the Redwoods.

The four new maps included in Sabotage are Noir, Renaissance, Neon and Dominion.

Noir is set in a grim-looking future Brooklyn where curfew is heavily enforced. This medium-sized classic three-lane map will have players making their way through tight corners and abandoned city streets.

Renaissance, on the other hand, is set in Venice. Players should not get too distracted by the famous Venetian canals as they will have to engage in intense urban combat and fast-paced gameplay. The map is said to have a small and split figure eight design.

Meanwhile, Neon is a Z-shaped map and is a digitized battle arena. It features long sight-lines and flanking routes which are ideal for any type of gameplay. Also, according to Activision, "enemies will dissolve into hundreds of pixels when defeated."

Lastly, the Dominion map is a reimagining of Afghan, a classic map from "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." It set in a sprawling crash site and entails ranged combat where players will have to utilize a variety of strategic vantage points.

Sabotage's new Zombies mode, Rave in the Redwoods, takes players into the latest installment in Willard Wyler's zombie horror flick. After escaping the '80s style amusement park, the cast members of "Zombies in Spaceland" will find themselves in a lakeside campground set in the 1990s. It is the setting of a rave party and is populated by the undead.

"It's a spooky adventure full of twists and turns, complete with a slasher enemy stalking your every more and a bevy of new Easter eggs for players to discover," the game developer said in blog post.

The Sabotage DLC pack is priced $15 and PS4 players can pre-order it starting Jan. 17, 2017. Meanwhile, players who have purchased the Season Pass ($50) will get it at no extra cost. The Season Pass also comes with an exclusive Zombies PS4 Dynamic System Theme which previews Rave in the Redwoods. Furthermore, players gain access to three more DLCs.

"Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" is available for PS4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows PC.
