Activision has announced a later-than-expected release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s upcoming Season 3. The official Twitter account revealed that Season 3 will launch on April 3rd.

This announcement follows a discrepancy between the in-game Battle Pass countdown (suggesting a March 20th reset) and the actual Season 3 launch date. Further details are promised next week, following Call of Duty: Warzone’s 5th anniversary.
Anticipation is high for Season 3, particularly regarding the rumored return of the popular Verdansk map. Activision has hinted at Verdansk's return this spring, and a recent in-game shop pop-up teased "The Verdansk Collection" arriving March 10th, fueling speculation about the map's imminent comeback.
While we await next week's season overview (likely coinciding with the March 10th "Verdansk Collection" release), players can still enjoy Season 2's offerings: five new multiplayer maps, the return of Gun Game, new weapons and operators, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event.
