Here is a brief overview of the new content coming to each title:

Warzone

Supreme Resurgence, a popular mode from the original Warzone, introduced briefly in 2022, is making a return in Season 5 Reloaded on the Rebirth Island map. An exciting reward is tied to this mode. Winning your first match here will earn you the Spilled Beans Weapon Camo.

Additionally, a new feature called Elite Contracts and a new Public Event named Recon Flyover are being introduced. Both will be available across all Warzone modes.

Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) Season 5 Reloaded will introduce four modes, both new and returning: Cyber Attack, Fishfection, Paintball, and Defuse or Destroy. Although the exact release dates for these modes haven't been confirmed, they may be introduced either at launch or gradually throughout the season.

As for maps, only one new addition will be introduced: a variant called Ink House, which is a cel-shaded version of Stash House. This animated design will function as a core 6v6 map, featuring vibrant colors and a quirky art style.

MW3 Zombies

In Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the final story mission will see Dr. Ava Jansen and Ravenov venture into the Dark Aether one last time to sever the connection between the Entity and Jansen. This epic conclusion includes a final boss battle, potentially against the Entity itself — a dark reflection of Jansen.

Additonally, three new schematics will be introduced:

Disciple Bottle: This schematic when activated spawns a friendly Disciple that follows and helps your Operator by brainrotting zombies and teleporting when needed.
Grenade Bandolier: Bombard the enemy with your Lethal and Tactical Equipment using this schematic that replenishes the items over time. The schematic’s effects remain for the entire match, so keep up the pressure.
Stash Increase: Head into battle with everything you need and more by increasing your stash size to 30. Use the extra carrying capacity to further loot up in anticipation of the major battles ahead.
