Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 Will Arrive Later Than Expected in Early April

Activision has officially announced the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone's eagerly awaited Season 3, but it's arriving a bit later than many fans had anticipated. According to a recent tweet from the official Call of Duty account, Season 3 is set to launch on April 3, marking a significant milestone for both Warzone and Black Ops 6. The announcement promises a great experience, with more details to follow after celebrating Warzone's 5th anniversary next week.

The delay comes as a surprise to many, especially since the current Battle Pass countdown had hinted at a reset on March 20. However, players remain enthusiastic about Season 3, particularly with Activision teasing the return of the iconic Verdansk map. Speculation has been rife about its reintroduction this spring, and a recent pop-up in the Call of Duty shop for "The Verdansk Collection" set to launch on March 10 has further fueled these expectations.

We'll need to wait until next week for more specifics on what Season 3 will bring, as it's likely that an overview will coincide with the release of "The Verdansk Collection" on the 10th. In the meantime, players can continue enjoying Season 2, which introduced five new multiplayer maps, the return of the beloved Gun Game mode, new weapons and operators, as well as an exciting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event.
