There’s good and bad news for Call of Duty fans: Season 3 will launch earlier than expected, but Warzone will be offline for a full day. After delaying Black Ops 6’s new season, Activision has now brought it forward to April 2.

Season 3 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been through a rollercoaster of scheduling changes, but players can finally breathe a sigh of relief—its release date is now confirmed. Initially slated for March 20, the launch was first pushed to April 3, but now it’s arriving a day earlier on April 2. While this means players get to enjoy the new content sooner, Warzone fans should prepare for a full day without access to their favorite mode.

Overall, the teaser for the upcoming season brings plenty of excitement for Black Ops 6 enthusiasts. Although Activision has remained tight-lipped about the specifics, it has officially announced that Season 3 will begin on April 2. What’s more, players will have access to a 24-hour free trial window, giving them a chance to test out some of the new content ahead of time.

Warzone Will Shut Down for 24 Hours

However, not everything is smooth sailing. Fans of Warzone are in for a brief but frustrating interruption. The return of the beloved Verdansk map and changes to Activision’s rollout timeline mean Warzone will be taken offline on April 2 for a 24-hour maintenance window. The downtime will allow for the game’s systems to be updated and the new content to be fully integrated. It may be inconvenient, but the silver lining is clear: Verdansk is officially returning on April 3.

To soften the blow, Activision has announced a small reward for those affected by the shutdown. Players who log into the Warzone menu during the outage will receive the Kilo 141 assault rifle as a gift. It’s a modest consolation for a day without gameplay, but it’s also a solid addition to any player’s arsenal when the servers come back online.

The original delay of Season 3 wasn’t random—it was a calculated move to improve the quality of content and address player feedback following a disappointing second season. Activision now promises that Season 3 will be a standout chapter in the Call of Duty saga, with Verdansk’s return and other major updates making it well worth the wait.
