What’s New in Season 2?
New Zombies Map: The Tomb
Season 2 takes Zombies fans to The Tomb, an ancient dig site filled with buried secrets and haunted by the spirit of a 1900s British explorer. Expect eerie vibes, hidden lore, and intense round-based combat as you uncover the map’s mysteries.
New Multiplayer Maps and Modes
Season 2 brings a fresh batch of Multiplayer maps and modes, keeping gameplay exciting for fans of competitive combat. From close-quarters chaos to large-scale battles, there’s something for everyone.
New Weapons and Scorestreaks
A new season means new toys! Look out for new weapons to dominate the battlefield and new scorestreaks to turn the tide in your favor.
Warzone: A Focus on Fixes
In Season 2, Treyarch is doubling down on making Warzone a more polished experience. The team has committed to resolving ongoing bugs and refining gameplay mechanics rather than overloading the update with new content.
Some features originally planned for this season have been pushed to Season 3, as Treyarch prioritizes building “the most solid foundation Battle Royale can offer.”
The State of Call of Duty: A Balancing Act
While unresolved bugs in Season 1 dampened the mood for some players, the content—like the Citadelle Des Morts Zombies map and Squid Game crossover—kept the community engaged. Fans are hopeful that Season 2’s additions and bug fixes will improve the overall experience.
Why the Release Day Shift?
Traditionally, Call of Duty updates have launched on Wednesdays or Thursdays. However, Season 2 breaks the trend with a Tuesday release. It’s unclear why Activision made this shift, but it could signal more flexibility in their future update schedule.
Final Thoughts
With The Tomb Zombies map, exciting new weapons, and a focus on stability for Warzone, Season 2 has a lot to offer. Whether you’re diving into Multiplayer, braving Zombies, or dropping into Warzone, there’s plenty to keep you busy.
