Season 4 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone kicks off May 29, and it looks like Activision isn’t holding back. With a sprawling lineup of content across multiplayer, Warzone, and Zombies, this is one of the franchise’s most ambitious seasonal updates to date.
The update sees the return of the infamous Stitch, once thought dead, now freed from a CIA black site and thrust into a reluctant alliance with Adler. Together, they lead the charge across new battlegrounds, including three 6v6 multiplayer maps at launch - Shutdown, Fugitive, and Blitz - with two more, Eclipse and a remastered Fringe, arriving mid-season.
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s included in the upcoming updates -
Multiplayer Highlights
- New 6v6 maps: Shutdown, Fugitive, and Blitz arrive at launch, with Eclipse and a remastered Fringe landing mid-season.
- Modes: Team Elimination and One in the Chamber return, while Party Ops drops later.
- Scorestreak: The explosive Grim Reaper returns as both a reward and a craftable support weapon in Zombies.
Zombies mode gets competitive
- Grief mode is back - two teams battle indirectly to survive the undead and sabotage each other.
- New GobbleGums like Explosive Flourish and Rainburps, and the Shatter Blast ammo mod add more chaos.
- Limited Time Modes include Starting Room Challenge and Abomination Hunt.
Warzone gets ranked play
- New POI: The Overlook towers over Downtown Verdansk with ziplines, cranes, and hidden entries.

New weapons and operators
Launch weapons include the LC10 SMG and FFAR 1 AR, with the Essex Model 07, Olympia, and Pickaxe arriving later. Plus, as mentioned earlier, Stitch returns as a central figure in the campaign as well as the Battle Pass. Omen headlines the BlackCell content, and Eve Macarro from Ballerina joins as an Operator.
Battle Pass and events
This season’s Battle Pass features over 110 unlockable items, including new weapons like the LC10 SMG, FFAR 1 AR, and later-season additions such as the lever-action Essex Model 07 and double-barreled Olympia. Stitch headlines the pass alongside BlackCell-exclusive Operator Omen and Eve Macarro from the Ballerina crossover event. Limited-time events and competitive rewards round out a jam-packed roadmap that stretches deep into summer.
