Call of Duty: Black Ops 3:n ensimmäinen suuri lisäosa on nimeltään Awakening ja sen julkaisupäivä on vihdoin paljastettu. Tai ainakin se on nyt osittain tiedossa, sillä DLC iskee Playstation 4:lle helmikuun toinen päivä 2016. Muiden alustojen päivämäärät eivät ole vielä tiedossa.
Awakening sisältää täysin uuden zombien täyttämän seikkailun nimeltään Der Eisendrache (Rautalohikäärme), jossa Richtofen, Nicolai, Takeo ja Dempsey tutkivat itävaltalaista vanhaa linnaa toisen maailmansodan kuohuissa.

· Gauntlet: Grounded in a military training facility, Gauntlet plays up the core philosophy of Treyarch's classic three lane map structure with distinct variety in visuals and gameplay. Each of the three primary lanes has a unique environment as players battle through a sprawling jungle, sub-zero arctic zone and rainy urban cityscape.
· Splash: Set in an abandoned water theme park, this vibrant and playful map delivers an imaginative environment complete with waterslides, a wrecked pirate ship and a lazy river ride that winds through a fantastical forgotten city. Splash is designed to drive an open flow of combat, including plenty of opportunities for underwater gameplay.
· Rise: Set in the snowy outskirts of Zurich, Rise is a Coalescence Corporation construction project for a massive subterranean research campus. The design of the map caters to a mix of classic Call of Duty cover combat alongside strategic core movement opportunities, with each section of the map offering distinctly different styles of gameplay.
· Skyjacked: Set on a security VTOL in the clouds over urban Zurich, Skyjacked is a reimagined version of the popular Call of Duty®: Black Ops II multiplayer map Hijacked and retains the same fast and frenetic gameplay from one of the most popular maps in Call of Duty® history, but with a twist. Skyjacked gives players the opportunity to explore the map in a variety of new ways thanks to the all-new core movement system in Black Ops III.
