Fans recently got a highly-anticipated overview of what Season 5 has in store forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzone. As the penultimate season of theBlack Ops 6era, Season 5 has been under pressure for some time in terms of delivering an exciting range of content. Players previously had a vague idea of what the season would add toBO6’s modes andWarzone, but a recent trailer and official roadmap for Season 5 left nothing to the imagination.
Season 5 ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6promises big things for the title’s Zombies mode and core multiplayer, with a wide range of additions being scheduled to release throughout the season. While this is good news for fans ofBlack Ops 6, the confirmed content forCall of Duty: Warzoneis not as expansive. A lot of uncertainty has existed aroundWarzone’s plans for the rest of theBlack Ops 6era, and it seems as if Season 5 will be pretty underwhelming for fans of the battle royale.
Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s Season 5 Content Seems Like a Mixed Bag
The recently revealedSeason 5 content forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6paints a respectable picture for fans of the game’s core multiplayer. Four new maps are slated to come to the game over the course of the season, for example, alongside a mixture of six brand-new and returning game modes. A new scorestreak will also be added to core multiplayer and Zombies with Season 5, known as the Combat Bow.
Season 5 ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzoneis expected to launch on August 7 at 9AM PST.
Of course, the spotlight is onZombies for Season 5 ofBlack Ops 6, with players finally getting their hands on the mode’s final map. Reckoning will see players fight through the mysterious Janus Towers in what promises to be a high-octane conclusion toBlack Ops 6’s Zombies storyline. New enemies, modes, and Grief Arenas will also come to Zombies through Season 5, as well as the Mister Peeks field upgrade and the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon.
A lot of fresh universal content will also be coming acrossBlack Ops 6andWarzone, with new weapons, bundles, operators, attachments, and events further fleshing out Season 5. In terms ofWarzone, specific content, however, the roadmap for Season 5 leaves a lot to be desired. Rumors and theories suggested thatAvalon might finally become a majorWarzonemapas part of Season 5, though the confirmed content forWarzonepoints toward a much quieter reality.
Warzone’s Content Plans Might Be Slim Before Black Ops 7 Launches
As opposed to something as expansive as a new major map,Call of Duty: Warzonewill instead receivean update to Verdansk’s Stadium POIwith Season 5. This change will directly tie into one ofWarzone’s two new modes that will come with Season 5; Stadium Resurgence will soon come to the battle royale as a limited-time mode. The Deadline gamemode will also make a brief appearance inWarzoneas a result of Season 5, in addition to the new Satellite Hijack contract.
This covers the extent of what changesWarzoneplayers can expect to see over the course of Season 5, with this already being the source of some vocal disappointment within the game’s community. Fans may soon see some major changes like the Avalon map eventually be introduced as theBlack Ops 7era ofCoDrolls around, but it seems clear that the upcoming Season 5 is directed much more atBlack Ops 6than it isWarzone.
