MW3 & Warzone Season 5 release date, WWE crossover, Atlas Superstore return & more
Season 5 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone is fast approaching, with the last eight weeks of Season 4 coming to a close.
While most of the content coming in the new update is still under wraps, we have had a few teases about what we can expect to see. And of course, we know exactly when it will all be starting.
MW3 Season 5 start date
Season 5 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone is expected to start on July 24, 2024.
This is when the countdown for Season 4 ends when looking at the current Battle Pass, and there’s never usually a gap between seasons in Call of Duty.
It was also confirmed by Call of Duty's official social channels.
WWE x Call of Duty crossover
We’ve had The Boys, Diablo, and even Nicki Minaj - now, WWE is the latest franchise to throw its weight into the Call of Duty arena.
Teased on the game’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, we see a wrestling ring shown under a bunch of spotlights. As the camera pans back, we see three shadows appear on the floor overlooking the ring.
The reveal trailer shows that we'll be seeing a Rhea Ripley Operator skin, along with a few weapon blueprints to go alongside her. Several new finishing moves can be spotted in the trailer, all inspired by WWE.
Atlas Superstore makes its return
Another familiar face making an appearance in Season 5 is the Atlas Superstore, a popular POI from Verdansk that’s being transplanted onto Warzone’s Urzikstan map.
Also revealed on X, we can see gameplay of the shopping mall shown as it’s integrated into the current Warzone map. It’s not the whole of Verdansk, but it’s a small taste that fans will surely lavish. A full return for Verdansk is hoped for during Black Ops 6's tenure, but it's rumoured to have hit a big delay.
Other updates coming in MW3 Season 5
Click to enlargeAs for what else we can expect to see in Season 5, expect the usual tweaks to weapon balancing, a new map called Yard, new weekly challenges, plus a brand-new Battle Pass with new cosmetics and weapons to unlock.
There are also a couple of new map variants coming, which both bring a cel-shaded art style to some Call of Duty classics. Celship is a variant of Shipment, and Toonoxide is a variant of Rust.
