Listen up soldier, Season 03 intel is here for Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and zombies

Season 03 is right around the corner for Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and zombies fans, and we’ve got intel on maps, modes, and more.

That was fast

It’s probably us, but we can’t quite fathom how we’re already up to Season 03 for the current crop of Call of Duty games. How is it quarter two of 2025 already!? Regardless of our own inability to deal with the passage of time though, Season 03 is indeed about to dawn for the games, and it’s just as loaded as usual.

Opening up for action next month, Season 03 of 2024’s Call of Duty release will intro new maps and modes for all of the game’s experiences. That includes Black Ops 6, as well as zombies mode, and of course Warzone.

As an extra little treat too, we’ve got a special zombies trailer for you, showcasing the action in what Activision is calling “Shattered Veil”. Might be us, but there’s a bit of a familiar feel about it… So take a peek at the trailer, then scroll past for the highlights of what’s on tap for when Season 03 arrives on April 2nd.
