Activision has confirmed that the PC First Strike DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops will launch "later in the quarter", so by the end of March.

The company made the announcement as part of its quarterly financial results, during which it said it had formed a new company tasked with building "digital content" for the Call of Duty series.

Launched on February 1 for Xbox 360. First Strike "set new Xbox Live records" with more than 1.4 million downloads in its first 24 hours, up 25 percent over last year's Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package.

Activision also said First Strike will hit PS3 on March 3.
