Treyarch Studios has officially announced the launch date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2: January 28th. This marks the end of a 75-day Season 1, one of the lengthiest in Call of Duty history. The update will inject new life into both Black Ops 6 and the free-to-play battle royale Warzone.
While Black Ops 6 initially enjoyed immense success, boasting record player numbers in its first month, it has recently experienced a dip in activity. This decline is attributed to factors such as persistent cheating problems in Ranked Play and ongoing server instability. The arrival of Season 2 brings hope for a resurgence, with anticipated content updates and improvements designed to recapture the game's early momentum.
Amidst these challenges, a recent Call of Duty tweet has sparked further controversy among fans already frustrated with the hacking issues plaguing both Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
The January 28th release date was revealed in the latest Black Ops 6 update notes. Treyarch addressed some existing Zombies mode issues, stating that certain fixes would be implemented alongside the Season 2 launch. While specific details about the new content remain scarce, a comprehensive blog post is expected soon, providing a full overview of what players can expect.
Season 1 delivered a substantial amount of content, including new multiplayer maps, modes, weapons, and events. It also ushered in a new era for Warzone, introducing a revamped movement system, new weapons, gameplay adjustments, and the Area-99 Resurgence map. The return of classic maps like Nuketown and Hacienda from Black Ops 4 further enhanced the experience. While specifics about Season 2 remain under wraps, Treyarch has hinted at the possibility of more remastered maps, prioritizing original content while acknowledging that no Black Ops map is out of the question for a potential remaster.
