UPDATE: Activision has now confirmed Nuketown 2025 in a post on the official Call of Duty site. According to the post, Nuketown 2025 will be offered at "most retailers worldwide" and will be available for download on November 13th, the day Black Ops II is released.
The map will be for all platforms and will also be available for players who pre-order via Steam. It will still apply for pre-orders that were placed before the bonus was announced.
Activision specifically noted that Nuketown 2025 is not already on the disc and will need to be downloaded.
Original story follows:
A futuristic version of popular Call of Duty: Black Ops map Nuketown will be offered as a free bonus for customers who pre-order Black Ops II.
IGN reader Archie submitted a picture taken at Irish retailer Xtravision in which the map is shown to be called Nuketown 2025. According to the image, the map has been “re-imagined for the future.”
The image also calls Nuketown 2025 “the biggest incentive in Call of Duty history” and says it will be “driving pre-orders…and day one.” The map would be an update to the old-fashioned Nuketown made famous by Call of Duty: Black Ops, which the image describes as the game’s “most popular map.”
Details including specific stores offering the map and which platforms it will be available for are currently unknown. During E3, Microsoft confirmed that all Black Ops II downloadable content will hit Xbox 360 first, but it’s unclear if this pre-order bonus will be an exception. We’ve reached out to Activision to clarify and will update with any additional info we receive.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is set to hit stores on November 13, 2012. When we last heard about Black Ops II pre-orders, Amazon noted that the game was tracking ahead of Modern Warfare 3 and the original Black Ops.
