Overview
- The new season begins rolling out Thursday, April 2, as a global update, though outlets cite different start times and preloads run about 30–40 GB.
- The Battle Pass returns with free and paid tracks plus a $29.99 BlackCell upgrade that adds exclusive skins, a new Camo Challenge Track, and 1,100 COD Points if you upgrade after buying the standard pass.
- Day one adds the Javelin operator and two free weapons—MK35 ISR assault rifle and VST SMG—unlocked in the pass, with more arms arriving through an event and a weekly challenge.
- Multiplayer gets five maps at launch—Beacon, Abyss, Plaza, Gridlock, and the 20v20 Mission: Trident—along with Demolition at launch and more modes slated in-season.
- Ranked Play has no date yet as more maps and modes are planned for mid-season, and Warzone’s Verdansk plus Zombies are set to gain new events and content across the season.
