When does Warzone Season 2 start?
The release date was previously February 2nd, but the teams behind Warzone and Vanguard decided to delay Season 2 so that they can get both titles into a better state. They share the reasons behind the delay inthis blog post, in which they discuss various updates that they plan to release before the new season. These updates aim to “fix game stability and bugs, and to ensure an overall level of polish to improve the experience”, as well as optimizing the gameplay and game balancing.
Recently, theofficial Call Of Duty Twitter accountposted about bugs that they are currently working on, including console performance issues and the invisible skin glitches that have plagued Warzone over the holidays. While these bugs may get fixed before Season 2 launches, theRaven Software Trello pagelists many other problems that they’ve recognized. We would expect some of these to get patched before or alongside the launch of Warzone Season 2.
Warzone Season 2 should bring new weapons and operators, alongside a new battle pass. The new weapons have not been revealed yet, but we know they will be available to everyone through free battle pass tiers, meaning you won’t need to spend anything if you just want the new guns. That said, if you want the new operators or specific blueprints, you’ll need to purchase the battle pass and certain store bundles.
