Following the release of December’s Season 1 Reloaded update, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warfare 2.0 players may now find themselves without new in-game features for an unusual two months. According to a proven dataminer, the shooters will be pushing back the expected Season 2 release date into the middle of February. Although the games’ developers have yet to speak on the upcoming season, rumors have pointed out that the wait may result in the addition of a fan-favorite 40-player mode.
Leaker CODSploitz, who has become known for correctly predicting the start and end dates for Call of Duty cosmetic bundles, has now claimed that one in-game file points to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0’s second season being released on February 15. In a Twitter post, they reason that assets for Season 1’s final bundle signify it leaving on this date, meaning the season could be running longer than most expected.
Originally, players have widely speculated for months that Season 2 had been on track to arrive on February 1, as the games’ Season 1 Battle Pass expiration timer continues to countdown toward this date. No matter its release date, fans may be rewarded generously with a batch of classic content upon next season’s launch. Recent leaks have suggested that the season could mark the return of Resurgence, a 40-player battle royale mode that first appeared in the original Warzone. Last week, one dataminer also alleged to have found references to past titles’ modes Gunfight and Gun Game in Modern Warfare 2’s files.

Despite the rumored content, players will surely keep their eyes glued to what fixes come to the games. Earlier in the month, it was reported that Warzone 2.0 began accidentally shadow-banning players who earned a specific amount of eliminations in a match. Of course, its string of odd bugs and the long content drought have seemingly done little damage to the franchise, as it was revealed Modern Warfare 2 still managed to become the best-selling game last year.
