Season 2 arrives this week for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Warzone

It’s almost time for a heck of a lot of new content to drop in for Call of Duty’s current slate of games, with Season 2 landing this week.

New everything

While Modern Warfare III’s single player content might have been a little slim, Activision is proving once again that the brand’s multiplayer is where the real fanbase is. Or, at least that’s what the company is obviously hoping, as it delivers another massive dose of post-launch content to the game.

Season 2 arrives in just two days (February 7th, 2024), and with it comes a selection of stuff that runs the gamut from maps to modes, covering all of the various CoD offerings. If you like standard multi, there’s obviously plenty of content for that, but there’s also Zombies, Warzone, and some DLC that’s spread out across all of the above.

Want the full skinny on Season 2? Well, then click here for the official site, but if it’s just a rundown you’re looking for, make with the scrolling:
