A new, more content-rich version of the currently available "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" game has now been officially released for the Xbox One.

The newly available variant of the first-person shooting title, known as the "Gold Edition," contains the base game itself along with some other notable additions.

As indicated in the official listing for the game that can be seen over on the Xbox Store, it will come bundled together with the "Awakening" DLC pack.

Released earlier this year, "Awakening" adds numerous new features to the game.

First off, "Awakening" contains four multiplayer maps, with those being the tri-lane setting known as Gauntlet, the snow-covered locale named Rise, the Skyjacked map that takes players up high into the clouds and the abandoned water park known simply as Splash.

Also included in the "Awakening" DLC pack is Der Eisendrache, otherwise known as the first chapter of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's" Zombies mode, according to the game's official website.

The recently released "Gold Edition" of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" also gives players access to the coveted Nuk3town DLC map.

Originally offered as a pre-order bonus for the game, the Nuk3town DLC map takes players to a setting that will likely be familiar to long-time fans of the first-person shooter franchise. "Black Ops 3's" version of Nuk3town does offer its own unique features as well, so players will be getting a dose of nostalgia along with some new gameplay experiences.

Xbox One owners interested in getting "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Gold Edition" can purchase it for their preferred platform for $59.99.

It's also worth noting that "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Gold Edition" has also been released previously for the PS4 and it contains the same elements as its Xbox One counterpart. It is also available for the same price of $59.99.
