Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 4 Reloaded introduces a fresh slate of new content, including the remake of an iconic multiplayer map and the return of Ranked Play in Resurgence.
Season 4 was far from smooth for the development team. Players noticed that Multiplayer lobbies no longer displayed their levels, and ads were added to the loadout screen. Activision faced criticism for both decisions and ultimately removed them, citing that they were mistakes.
Additionally, a minor update went live to fix an issue that caused players to start the season lower than intended in Warzone Ranked Play, but it broke the leaderboard instead. Season 4 Reloaded aims to right the ship.
Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 4 Reloaded Expected Release Date
Based on the Season 4 Battle Pass, we expect Season 4 Reloaded to start on June 26.
Seasonal updates typically occur on the final Thursday of a month or in the first week of a new month, making this timeline logical.
Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 4 Reloaded Possible Start Time
We expect Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded to start around 9 AM PT / 11 PM CT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM GMT.
This is based on the start time for previous seasons, but it is always subject to change due to server maintenance or other unexpected circumstances.
Everything Confirmed in Black Ops Season 4 Reloaded
New Multiplayer Maps
Eclipse is set in Avalon, which is the Campaign map, previewed in the Black Ops 7 reveal trailer. You should expect intense, high-paced matches as Eclipse takes place in an underground nightclub. Visuals might be a slight concern as the rooms appear to be dimly lit, but the map is so small, it shouldn’t be too challenging to locate where you are getting shot from.
For the first time since Black Ops 3 in 2015, Fringe is receiving a remake in Season 4 Reloaded. The iconic map first appeared in BO3 and is set in a space launch facility in rural Southern California. The map uses a traditional three-lane format, and Treyarch didn’t change much for the remake.
The developers shared images of the remake, and the barn, bridge, bar, and other buildings are all in the same locations as they were initially.
Party Ops Explained
Party Ops is a new limited-time mode in the mid-season update that introduces a randomized set of party-themed minigames. The player with the highest score at the end of each match wins. The devs did not confirm which game modes will be included in the playlist.
Zombies Limited-Time Modes
Starting Room and Abomination Challenge are new, limited-time game modes. Starting Room is inspired by the classic Zombies map, Moon, and locks your team in the first zone of a map. In the enclosed space, the only goal is to survive as long as possible.
Meanwhile, Abomination Challenge is set on a warped version of Liberty Falls, and the task is to hunt down an ultra-powered-up Abomination. Based on how challenging it is to take them down, this is sure to be a tall order, even for experienced Zombie veterans.

Havoc Royale & Resurgence Casual Explained
Havoc Royale is a new limited-time game mode that drops you into a specially themed area of Verdansk with your loadout of choice. From there, every circle activates a new modifier. Be the last team standing to win.
Resurgence Casual is similar to a regular match, but there are some bots. Similar to Battle Royale Casual, results will not count towards or against your stats.
Ranked Play Returns
Ranked Play is back on Rebirth Island as part of the mid-season update. Just like before, you will progress through all of the standard Skill Divisions, with the ultimate goal of reaching the top 250.

Activision went over a few changes to Clash.

Open this crate for a chance to obtain rare loot including rare equipment, the Specialist Perk, and more.
New Perk: Loot Master (Mid-Season)
