‘Modern Warfare’ will get game types and more maps, too.
When Activision Blizzard and Infinity Ward released an all-action trailer yesterday, some details about season five of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone emerged. There’s so much more in store once you’ve installed the update. Warzone’s Verdansk map is opening up. Now that the roof has been blown up, you will have access to the stadium as well as a train station.
On August 5th, likely at 2 AM ET, season five of Modern Warfare and Warzone will go live. PlayStation 4 players can pre-load the patch, which is probably a wise idea if you’d like to play as soon as possible, given how hefty the update is yet again. There’ll be a few more Operators to unlock through the Battle Pass and store.
This Friday, at 1 PM ET, a free trial of Modern Warzone multiplayer starts too. This will run until next Wednesday at the same time. Including an oil rig and the Verdansk International Airport from Warzone, Infinity Ward is adding four free multiplayer maps at the start of the season. The latter is a Ground War map. You can expect more game modes, missions, challenges, playlists, and weapons as well.
Mini Royale is a faster-paced version of the main battle royale mode with fewer players and shorter games. It includes only the typical events from the first and last five minutes of a regular battle royale match. There are weapon updates and tracks from Modern Warfare, which you can listen to while you’re in a vehicle.
The songs unlock immediately if you buy the latest Battle Pass. Activision and Infinity Ward say it’ll weigh in at 33.9GB on PS4 and 49.8GB on Xbox One If you have the latest version of Modern Warfare and Warzone installed on your console.
The game should take up less space on your console’s hard drive. On PC, the patch will be 54.2GB if you own Modern Warfare and 47.4GB if you’re a Warzone-only player. Call of Duty: Warzone is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
