Call of Duty has just confirmed that Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 will arrive one day early, meaning the update will go live on April 2, 2025. Previously, Activision delayed it, pushing it to April 3, 2025. However, in the latest Call of Duty Podcast, the publisher officially revealed that the update will launch a day earlier than anticipated.
Note that only Black Ops 6 will be playable on April 2, as Warzone will go offline to prepare for the launch of Verdansk. Read on to learn more about Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3.
Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 release date changes again
Initially, Season 3 of the latest Call of Duty update was scheduled to be released on March 20, 2025. However, Activision announced that it wanted to ensure players receive the best experience possible. With Verdansk’s return on the horizon, the company decided to delay the release date.
Currently, a lot of new information about the upcoming Warzone map has surfaced, including changes from the original (OG) version and much more.
In the Call of Duty Podcast, the developers primarily discussed the changes players can expect and revealed all the new weapons — including some iconic ones — coming to the game. These range from Kali Sticks to HDR. At the end of the video, they announced the new release date as breaking news.
Not only is Verdansk returning to Warzone, but Season 3 might just be the biggest season in Call of Duty since the release of Black Ops 6. Fans will get a brand-new Zombies map called Shattered Veil with the update. More details about the map will be shared soon. As it stands, Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 is set to go live on April 2, 2025, at 9 am PT.
