Based on the official blog, the new mission, Defender: Hafid Port, will take players on the Al Mazrah map, where they will face off against the Las Almas cartel in an "all-out fight for survival."

As for the brand new Raid episode, Call of Duty is yet to declare any major details about how it will go. However, players can expect the story to take off where it was left in Season 2 reloaded, and you must finish the previous chapters to avoid major spoilers.

The new season will go live at 10 am PT on April 12, 2023, and players can pre-load the update two days in advance, from 10 am PT on April 10. Apart from just the Spec Ops content update, Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 will introduce a new 6v6 multiplayer map, a legendary Intervention rifle, gunfight, and more.
