Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch Studios has officially announced that the much-anticipated Season 2 will launch on Tuesday, January 28. This release will also introduce a wave of exciting new content to the free-to-play Battle Royale title, Call of Duty: Warzone. Season 1 of both Black Ops 6 and Warzone began on November 14 and will have run for an impressive 75 days by the time Season 2 arrives, marking it as one of the longest seasons in the franchise's history.
Despite the immense success of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at launch, which saw record-breaking player numbers within the first 30 days, the game has experienced a notable decline in recent weeks. This drop is attributed to persistent cheating issues in the game's Ranked Play mode and ongoing server problems. However, with Season 2 on the horizon, fans are optimistic that fresh content and significant improvements will rejuvenate the game and restore its initial popularity.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2 Release Date Confirmed
In the latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Treyarch Studios confirmed that Season 2 will kick off on Tuesday, January 28. While addressing unresolved Zombies mode issues in the January 9 patch notes, Treyarch hinted at upcoming fixes that would be part of the next season's update. The studio then officially announced the launch date for Season 2. Although specifics about the new season's content remain undisclosed, fans can expect a detailed reveal in a forthcoming blog post leading up to the launch.
Season 1 of Black Ops 6 introduced a wealth of new multiplayer maps, modes, weapons, events, and more. It also ushered in a new era for Warzone players, integrating Black Ops 6's features such as a revamped movement system, a variety of new weapons, substantial gameplay updates, and the introduction of the Resurgence map, Area-99.
The first season also delighted fans with the return of beloved multiplayer maps like Nuketown and Hacienda from Black Ops 4. While the details of Season 2 remain under wraps, Treyarch has hinted at the possibility of more classic map remasters. In a December interview, Treyarch's Associate Creative Director Miles Leslie mentioned that no Black Ops map is off-limits for remastering, although the studio tends to prioritize original content over remasters.
