Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 delayed until April 3rd.
Activision has announced a later-than-anticipated release date for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 3, pushing the launch to April 3rd. The official Call of Duty Twitter account revealed the news:
Season 03 is a big moment for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 6, and we’re taking the time to deliver a great experience starting on April 3.

This announcement contradicts the March 20th launch date suggested by the current Battle Pass countdown. The delay has generated speculation amongst players, particularly concerning the highly anticipated return of the Verdansk map.
Activision has previously hinted at Verdansk's return this spring, and a recent in-game shop pop-up teased "The Verdansk Collection" arriving on March 10th. This suggests a potential reveal of the map's comeback around that time, coinciding with further Season 3 details promised for next week.
While players await the new season, Season 2 continues to offer engaging content, including five new multiplayer maps, the Gun Game mode's return, fresh weapons and operators, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event.
