Call of Duty gamers looking to jump back into Warzone’s classic Verdansk map in a couple of weeks will have to wait just a bit longer, unfortunately.
The official CoD Twitter/X account delivered the disappointing news that season three of Black Ops 6 will now begin on April 3, and not the original assumed start date of March 20, as in-game countdown timers have alluded to in season two.
“Season three is a big moment for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 6, and we’re taking the time to deliver a great experience starting on April 3,” Activision announced today. “More to come following Call of Duty: Warzone’s fifth anniversary next week.”
March 10 next week marks the fifth birthday of Warzone, which launched back in 2020 on the same date and became a worldwide success as gamers stuck inside during the COVID-19 pandemic found a new way to group up and spend time with friends.
But in recent weeks and months, the nostalgia has been overtaken by rage and disappointment, as hackers have ran rampant in the battle royale game, forcing Activision to postpone season two content in Warzone to instead have developers focus on quality of life improvements ahead of Verdansk’s return.
