Call of Duty: MW3 Season 2 Release Date, The Walking Dead Crossover, and Launch Trailer

Call of Duty: MW3 and Warzone's Season 2 brings a slew of new content for players to enjoy as they jump in for even more mayhem.

The reason that players have stuck around for so long in Call of Duty: MW3 and Warzone is because of the first full season of content they could grind through. As expected, the game’s getting a second season, adding even more for players to consume in the coming months.

When it was first released, players jumped into Call of Duty: MW3 and Warzone headfirst and never looked back. The game’s core three modes offer more than enough to keep anyone occupied for hundreds of hours. We’ve still not seen everything there is to see in Zombies Mode, and we’ve put more hours into it than some JRPGs we’ve finished. Call of Duty: MW3 and Warzone Season 2 looks to be bringing so much more to the table, making these games impossible to escape.

The release date for Call of Duty: MW3 & warzone Season 2 is February 7, 2024. It’s unclear exactly what time the new season will go live because Activision Blizzard hasn’t confirmed those details at the time of writing.

We’d expect the game’s servers to go down for a large portion of the day. Then, players will need to download an update before they can successfully get into Season 2. Players should bear in mind that this could cause some errors to occur, so they shouldn’t count on being able to play on the day the season launches.

These skins will probably be available to use in all game modes, meaning players can make the most of them once they get them.
