Call of Duty players are always fiending for more content to freshen up their grind in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
Luckily, Activision has a content plan with seasonal updates in the pipeline throughout every calendar year to keep new content coming to the game each month. Every two months, there’s a new season, and the months in between get “season reloaded” updates with further new stuff to enjoy.
Season two of MW2 and Warzone 2 is quickly coming to an end, meaning season three is on the way. CoD players are already chomping at the bit to grind out new weapons, maps, and more in the latest CoD titles.
Here’s when players can expect to enjoy some fresh new content in Call of Duty.
MW2 and Warzone 2 season three start date
On April 3, Activision and Infinity Ward revealed that season three of MW2 will begin on April 12.
Currently, the timer says that season two will end on April 11. This means that the new season will likely begin the next day, which is a Wednesday, lining up with previous seasonal releases throughout MW2 and other recent CoD games.
Activision confirmed that the update for season three would be available to pre-download on April 10 at 12pm CT, but it won’t be playable until a few days later.
What time does MW2 and Warzone 2 season three start?
The timer does not specify when the new season will begin, but previous seasons have all started at 12pm CT or 11am CT, depending on daylight saving time and other varying reasons.
