Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 might have just launched for consoles and PC, but there’s a full new season of content about to launch.
Heading the call. Again.
You have to hand it to Activision, the publisher moves fast when it comes to its biggest and most popular property. Naturally, we’re referring to Call of Duty, and it’s a series that’s been robustly supported with fast and furious drops of fresh seasonal content.
That’s not changing one iota for the just released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, as Season 01 will be dropping this very week. Not that this new content is limited to just the new game, as both Warzone and Warzone Mobile will also be getting a fresh start in Season 01.
New weapons, maps, modes, and more are all on the way, and the best part is that it starts this very week. So if you’ve been playing Black Ops 6 to death since it hit, get ready for more. Lots more.
Black Ops 6:
- Five Maps, One Variant: Three brand-new maps arrive at the start of Season 01 (6v6: Hideout, Extraction | Strike 2v2/6v6: Heirloom). At mid-season players can enjoy the brand-new strike map Racket, the return of the map Hacienda, and a festive-themed Nuketown
- Modes Added: Throughout the season new modes arrive, including the brand-new Ransack Mode, the fan-favorite Prop Hunt at mid-season, special Limited Time Modes and more
- More Gear: Two new perks and a scorestreak coming throughout the season, as well as a new Wildcard during mid-season
- Ranked Play: The earliest launch of Ranked Play in Call of Duty history, Black Ops 6 Ranked Play arrives soon after the launch of Season 01
Black Ops 6 Zombies:
- Directed Mode: A guided experience for fans eager to experience the story in Liberty Falls and Terminus coming to Zombies at Season 01 Launch
- New Map Mid-Season: An all-new map and more new content coming later in the Season
- Lots Of New Stuff: New Wonder Weapons, enemy type, perk-a-cola, additional Field Upgrade, 18 new augments and more coming
Warzone:
- Welcome to Area 99: Explore a top-secret Weapons Station and where Nuketowns were built and shipped to testing sites. Mothballed for decades, this Resurgence map has been re-opened to all Operators at Season 01 launch!
- Streamlined UI: Following the Season 01 update, players can easily access Call of Duty: Warzone or Black Ops 6 from the Home Screen; Call of Duty: Warzone will also have its own individual UI with improvements similar to Black Ops 6
- Modes and Features: Get situated with Resurgence, Battle Royale, and Plunder Playlists to start with, followed by Battle Royale Ranked Play mid-season and a variety of new Limited Time Modes as the Season progresses.
- Full Black Ops 6 Integration: Drop into the fray using the Black Ops 6 Loadout System, with a new Dedicated Melee, three Perks, and a Wildcard. Bring over your Global Weapon Builds, access a more streamlined Gunsmith, and pick from any Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, or Black Ops 6 weapon you’ve acquired: over 170 armaments!
- In-Game Innovations: From Omnimovement to using Emotes and Sprays, as well as a return to a streamlined inventory, and an impressively vast Progression, Prestige, and Challenge system from Black Ops 6
- Urzikstan: As development work to integrate Omnimovement and other Black Ops 6 innovations was highly involved, this version of Urzikstan is the one you remember from the earlier seasons of Modern Warfare III, with an intact Popov Power plant, and prior to bunker access, and the construction of the Atlas Superstore at Al-Sada Village.
Warzone: Mobile:
- 33 new weapons and their associated attachments
- Dedicated melee weapon slot
- Updated and unified rarity system
- Omnimovement
- New progression system, including Prestige and Weapon Camos
- Continued support for cross-platform Battle Pass and Weapon Level progression
- Updated interface and menus
