Season 1 Arrives in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Call of Duty: Warzone

The hunt is on in Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, a major update delivering new maps, modes, weapons, and more, including the official release of the free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone on the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system.

Season 1 launches on November 6. Here are the highlights:

• Backstab (6v6): Trek through the fallen snow of this war-torn town. Fight in the streets where long-ranged sightlines reign or head inside for a closer battle.

• Canyon (6v6): Turn up the heat in the sun-scorched terrain of Canyon as towering rock walls trap in the chaos below.

• Shoot House (6v6): Deploy to Shoot House set in the rugged terrain of North Korea during a light snowfall.

• Kill Block: Crash: It’s helicopter down as a new featured Kill Block combo arrives for Season 1. When deploying to this map, all three slabs, handpicked by developers Infinity Ward, remain static, and do not change between rounds.

• Possession: For the Halloween season, Possession is a fast, visceral party mode moshpit. Eliminate enemy players to possess them, transmigrating to their location and stealing their Loadout.

• Infected: Infect everyone or survive the game to win.

• Grind: Eliminate players, recover their dog tags, and take them to the Bank to score.

• Drop Zone: The rich get richer in Drop Zone, where teams fight to hold a single rotating objective. Periodic airdrops deliver Killstreak packages over the Drop Zone.

• Gauntlet 1v1: Throw down in the ultimate confrontation in 1v1 Gunfight, accessible via the Wager Match Event. Wager your trophies and eliminate the enemy to secure the win.

Look forward to extra maps and modes arriving in the mid-season, including Ministry, Overflow, and more.

A previously undiscovered weapons facility — codenamed X01 — has been seized by enemy forces. Recent reconnaissance along the northern border of North Korea has determined an infiltration point, allowing for deployment through Hajin. Gear up before infil.

In addition to the new area, take on new DMZ Orders, acquire new items and equipment, face new deadly enemies, and take on the Threat Briefing challenge where you’ll identify and take down a North Korean battle tank and The Captain in X01.

Season 1 marks the debut of Call of Duty: Warzone on the Nintendo Switch 2! Drop into the free-to-play combat experience as the new Hajin Battle Royale map and Zodiac Resurgence map arrive alongside other updates including:

• Hajin Gulag: Fight for your life in the Hajin Gulag, where eliminated Operators engage in 1v1 combat across one of two arenas, each affected by Hajin’s local weather patterns.

• Zipline Launcher: Overcome large obstacles and flank from rooftop to rooftop with ease using the Zipline Launcher. Aim and fire the device to create anchors and a zipline for rapid travel.

• Grabber Drone: Deploy a rare drone equipped with a grabber capable of picking up everything from loot to environmental objects and even other Operators.

• Grinding for Royalty: Push your boundaries with the new Grinding for Royalty system, where your personal player stats are taken into account to generate individual challenges, including Weapon Camo rewards that refresh every season.

• Weapon Augments: Upgrade your weapon for the rest of the match with Weapon Augments, offering benefits including faster handling speeds and improved bullet velocity and damage range.

• Ground Ops: Complete Ground Ops to gain valuable loot. Drill safes for loot, activate surveillance towers for critical intel, shoot down drones for the cargo they carry, and track down loot-filled radioactive barrels with the help of your Geiger counter.
