Infinity Ward’s Creative Strategist and all round Mr Nice Guy, Robert Bowling has confirmed the release date for the next piece of DLC set to hit ELITE Subscribers this February. Overwatch will be able to be downloaded from February 21st 2012 only on Xbox 360 first.

A single screenshot was also released to tease you as shown above as Bowling tweeted:

Sneak Peek at what we’re working on now. The new map Overwatch. Hits Xbox Live Premium Elite Members on Feb 21st.

Call of Duty Elite Drop 3: Overwatch drops you into a construction site atop a New York City skyscraper. The battle takes place along two levels in a near symmetrical layout, with the central bridge and side routes open to attack from multiple angles. Watch your every step, as a lack of safety barriers surrounding the perimeter leaves nothing between you and a 70 story fall to the ground below.

Elite Drops 4-6 will be available in March for Premium Members on Xbox Live and will include the multiplayer map Black Box and two brand new Special Ops Missions, Black Ice and Negotiator.
