The Call of Duty series is gearing up to launch Season 5 for both Warzone and Black Ops in the near future. Following the underwhelming response to Season 4, Activision is stepping up its game—reintroducing beloved characters, launching exciting new maps, powerful weapons, and dynamic game modes designed to breathe new life into the Call of Duty experience.
Gamers can look forward to a fresh set of multiplayer maps in Season 5 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, including Runway, Exchange, and World Motor Dynasty—a revamped version of the fan-favorite WMD map from Black Ops 1. These new battlegrounds will be available starting August 7 across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
