It’s hard to tell if a single multiplayer map can sell a $60 video game. But it could happen. Game publisher Activision and studio Treyarch announced today that the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops III will include a reimagined version of the Nuketown multiplayer map.

The new map, dubbed Nuk3town, will be refreshed for the new game, which is set in the year 2065, and allow for the new momentum-based chained-movement system, which enables players to run on the sides of walls and pull other tricks while moving. Black Ops III debuts on November 6 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Fans who preorder the game will receive the Nuk3town downloadable bonus map as an in-box download code.
