New information released this week has confirmed that the Call of Duty Warzone release date has been set for August 5, 2020. The source of the new information is streamer NICKMERCS, who revealed new footage regarding Modern Warfare Season 5 this week. The main draw from the new information is that Call of Duty Warzone Season 5 has a release date set for August 5. The footage also featured a train horn, which strongly suggests that those realigned tracks will be put through its paces soon. A loot train hurtling across the Verdansk map would help spice things up, but that might not be the most significant change coming to the game.
More footage from COD Warzone shared by Twitch streamer Tyler’ TeePee’ Polchow this week includes a new map reveal. The footage, which appears to be staged within the Verdansk football stadium, includes a vast explosion going off.
And if the hints prove to be correct, this could mean that the Stadium is about to change in some big ways. Depending on what caused the explosion, the area surrounding the Stadium could become a new hazard zone.
Another theory is that the Stadium will be opened up by the explosion, which will leave different ways to enter the new area.
If both a new train and the stadium changes go live the same week, it will make for a great way to start Modern Warfare Season 5.
Not much has changed in Warzone when it comes to POIs and locations since the free Battle Royale experience launched earlier this year.
Bunkers opened and provided some interesting Easter eggs to find, but now gamers are hoping to see some much bigger changes.
It should be noted that Activision hasn’t officially revealed the Season 5 release date for Warzone and Modern Warfare, which probably won’t happen until we get closer to the actual event.
But this teaser certainly serves to hint at what big plans the development team at Infinity Ward has for the game moving forward.
While we have to wait until next month to get this new Modern Warfare update, a new Playlist patch went live yesterday, with details of what has changed listed below:
