Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 01 Launch Live

With the release of Season 01 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the gaming community is in for a treat as it looks set to blend thrilling new content with familiar gameplay. This debut season not only revitalizes your multiplayer experience with new maps and modes but also integrates Call of Duty: Warzone into BO6, adding a fresh layer of intensity. One of the highlights to get excited about is the introduction of the Resurgence map, Area 99—a must-explore for every player.

Exciting New Multiplayer Maps

Get ready, because this season kicks off with six electrifying multiplayer maps! Initially, players can dive into Hideout, a medium-sized training area; Extraction, also medium-sized and centered around a helicopter wreck; and Heirloom, a more confined map set in an art museum. But that’s not all—seasoned players should keep an eye out for the return of Hacienda from Black Ops 4. Additionally, there’s Racket, a completely new small-sized map featuring an underground bank vault, and a festive spin on the beloved Nuketown map later in the season.

Innovative Multiplayer Modes

Season 01 introduces two thrilling game modes. First up is Ransack, which challenges teams to collect gold bars from crates across 6v6 maps and secure them in their stash while fending off raids from opponents. This requires a blend of strategy and quick reflexes. Following closely, we have Prop Hunt, a creative hide-and-seek type game where players take on the roles of either Props—pieces of the environment—or Hunters. Props must find clever places to blend in with the scenery, using decoys and changing shapes, while Hunters try to sniff them out before time runs out.

Beyond these, watch out for limited-time modes rolling in mid-season, and get prepared for Ranked Play, which promises plenty of rewards and tweaks.

Explore the New Warzone Map and More

Enter Area 99. Set against the scorching backdrop of Nevada’s desert, this former secret weapons station presents a fascinating area for tactical play, especially with its Nuketowns testing history. Season 01 also sees players deploying to new territories like Urzikstan and, shortly after, Rebirth Island. These regions are imagined with innovations from Black Ops 6, including an exciting new movement system.

Kick off the season with classic modes such as Resurgence, Battle Royale, and Plunder, with more modes lined up as the season progresses. The integration of Warzone with Black Ops 6 brings enhancements like the Loadout System, Dedicated Melee, and the “Pick-3” Perk System—allowing for personalization and strategic advantage during matches.

Everything You Need to Know

A robust lineup of seven new weapons is set to captivate players across the board. Available throughout the season, these include four primary firearms, a foldable Special Secondary, and two melee options. Plus, challenges tied to weapon attachments add to the thrill.
