A teaser for Season 5 ofCall of Duty: WarzoneandBlack Ops 6has been released, and with it, the potential confirmation that Avalon is finally coming to the free-to-play spin-off. The newCall of Duty: Warzoneseason is expected to arrive in the first week of August, meaning players don’t have that much longer of a wait ahead of them.
Frank Woods, Russell Adler, and Sevati Dumas are front and center in the Season 5 teaser,with Avalon being the centerpiece. Theories and discussions about whether Avalon is the nextWarzonemap or not have continued to buzz through the community since October of last year, and this teaser now gives a lot of weight to those long-running theories. Avalon was a major setting inBlack Ops 6, and it would finally present the opportunity to build a bridge between it andWarzone. If Season 5 does indeed bring Avalon into the mix, there are a few things that are to be expected.
What to Expect From Call of Duty: Warzone’s Potential Avalon Map
The rumors of Avalon first started last year when it was discovered that a map of the region could be foundwhen usingBlack Ops 6’s Theater Mode. A birds-eye-view screenshot of Avalon offers a solid idea of what’s in store for players if the location ever becomes part of theWarzonemap rotation.
Avalon’s POIs Promise a Solid Amount of Location Diversity
Based on the picture that has been circulating for months, it’s easy to realize that there’s a solid blend of water-centric locations and land-based areas, like Golf Course andBlack Ops 4’s Hacienda. There are definitely more water-based locations, which may be divisive for some players, but each POI is an intriguing setting.Season 5 has been teasing more than maps, but the potential for Avalon to premiere after months of speculation could be a thrilling way to shake up gameplay.
Recently,someWarzoneplayers have been hoping for a new map. Whether it’s the return of vaulted maps or a brand-new one, there is a solid chunk of vocalWarzonefans who have desired more frequent map rotations. Of course, the Avalon tease may just be a red herring, but that could be a risky move. The topic of Avalon has been hotly debated, and it would be frustrating for many fans if the map was merely teased, just for it to not actually come to fruition in Season 5.
Season 5 Could Be Setting the Stage for Black Ops 7
Black Ops 7is directly tied to bothBlack Ops 6andBlack Ops 2, and because of that, Avalon plays a large role in the story. To gear players up forthe eventual arrival ofBlack Ops 7, it would only make sense for Avalon to be part of Season 5, so it could serve as an appetizer for the nextBlack Opschapter.
Black Ops 7takes place in 2035, 10 years after the events ofBlack Ops 2and over 40 years after the events ofBlack Ops 6. The story brings backBlack Ops 2protagonist David “Section” Mason, who is now portrayed by actor Milo Ventimiglia.
Of course, it remains to be seen if Avalon will finally make its way toWarzone, but it seems quite possible. Asthe wait forBlack Ops 7grows shorter, it will be fascinating to see ifWarzoneis used as a way to help promote the upcoming entry’s story via Avalon.
