What was once supposed to be a pre-order bonus for all consoles, was then not availalble on the Wii U version. Some fans questioned and complained but soon enough it was forgotten. Fast-forward 4 months and now Call of Duty: Ghosts players on the Wii U can also experience the free DLC stage.

The additional stage was part of yesterday's update for the Wii U. The patch also brought a host of fixes intending to smoothen the gaming experience for the players.

Here's the breakdown of the latest patch:
