We’re still waiting on an official announcement for the fourth Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 expansion, following this month’s PS4 and PC debut of the Descent DLC, but it looks like fans won’t have to wait any longer to learn the name of the fourth Black Ops 3 add-on. Assuming, of course, that the latest PlayStation Store leak to hit the web turns out to be real.

Black Ops 3 fans probably didn’t expect to hear much about the game’s final expansion for a few more weeks. The trend, thus far, has been to separate each expansion and the announcement of its follow-up by about 6-8 weeks. Smart money probably would’ve bet on a Black Ops 3 DLC reveal during Call of Duty XP, the annual fan convention slated to return to Los Angeles on Sept. 2. But things are turning out a bit differently for the final round of Black Ops 3 DLC, thanks to a new leak from a shockingly familiar source.

On Tuesday, Twitter user TheMilkman1414 published photos of an alleged PlayStation Store ad for the fourth Black Ops 3 expansion, which appears to be titled Salvation. The advertisement appears to confirm the return of the WWII-era Zombies team -- comprised of Nikolai Belinski, Tank Dempsey, Takeo Masaki and Edward Richtofen -- which falls in line with recent claims that Black Ops 3 would address lingering questions from the Zombies campaign in Black Ops 2. But there’s nothing else of substance to be gleaned from the early Salvation advertisement.

That said, Call of Duty XP is less than two weeks away at this point. So we shouldn’t have to wait much longer for new information about the final Black Ops 3 expansion.
