Activision has officially prolonged the Season 2 Battle Pass for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. This comes after a two-week postponement of the highly anticipated Season 3, initially slated for March 20th, now launching on April 3rd.

The extension is a welcome reprieve for players following the announcement of Season 3's delay. Activision cited the upcoming season as a “significant event” for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, necessitating the additional development time.

While Season 3 details are expected following Warzone’s fifth anniversary celebrations on March 10th, the rumor mill is already buzzing with anticipation.  Speculation points to the return of the beloved Verdansk map, a fan favorite.

There's also chatter about the possible inclusion of controversial Modern Warfare operators and a selection of iconic weapons like the Grau 5.56 Assault Rifle and HDR Sniper Rifle.  While these remain unconfirmed, the prospect is creating considerable excitement within the community.

The Season 2 Battle Pass extension provides players a two-week grace period to complete their progression and claim all rewards. This includes a variety of cosmetic items, weapon blueprints, double XP tokens, and more.  Players lagging behind now have extra time to unlock the new Cypher 091 Assault Rifle and PPSh-41 Submachine Gun, available in the free Battle Pass tier.

Those who invested in the premium Battle Pass (1,100 COD Points) or the Blackcell Battle Pass have access to a wider array of unlockables, including exclusive operator skins and additional benefits.  While those who have already maxed out their Season 2 Battle Pass must wait for Season 3, the potential return of Verdansk and new content promises a rewarding experience.

Players can choose from various Battle Pass editions, catering to different preferences and budgets. The free version provides a substantial selection of rewards, while the paid versions offer enhanced content for more dedicated players.

Activision's decision to extend the Season 2 Battle Pass mitigates some of the disappointment surrounding the Season 3 delay. It also offers a strategic opportunity to generate further hype and build anticipation for the upcoming season’s launch.
