Call of Duty fans are counting down to the release of Season 5 Reloaded in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
The mid-season Call of Duty update has a September 4 release date on PlayStation consoles, Xbox and PC. The new content will be available to enjoy from 5pm BST UK time.
Speaking of new content, the Season 5 Reloaded update includes a new map and modes in Black Ops 6, as well as a limited time mode in Warzone.
Warzone fans will be pleased to hear that following the Stadium breach, the roof has been permanently blown off the structure and the interior is accessible to all squads.
To celebrate the opening of the new area, Warzone will host the new Deadline LTM for 100 players.
While teams all have unlimited respawns, the lowest scoring squads will be eliminated from the game after each circle collapse.
Furthermore, a wave of enemy combatants known as Hostile Soldiers will appear to increase the pressure on the remaining teams.
Activision explains more: “You’ll have to keep proving yourself throughout the match, as each new circle resets earned score for all squads.
“To scrape back up from the bottom, focus on eliminating enemies, completing Contracts, looting supplies, and spending cash at Buy Stations to keep that score rolling in.”
Over on Black Ops 6, Activision will introduce a new 6v6 map called Jackpot, which is set in the Luttazzi casino.
The map is said to combine “open combat, risky chokepoints, and multiple routes to victory”. The map contains a central bar, slot machines, a stage and an outside area overlooking the hills.
The mid-season update also adds a variety of new and returning modes, including Cranked, which is a bomb-based mode in which teams must attack and defend bomb sites.
That’s on top of the returning Ransack mode, which sees players attempt to accrue as much gold as possible. Finally, there’s the Blueprint Gunfight mode, which sees duos battle it out using curated weapon blueprints.
Fans can also expect a new Scorestreak, as the new flaming Combat Bow joins the game.
