The first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is in full swing, and the game has been integrated with the free-to-play battle royale game Warzone as well as 2019's Modern Warfare. Season 2 is coming very soon though and is bound to change things up for all three games that are supported now.
While there's still a lot we don't know about Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone, we've rounded up everything we know about it following the first trailer and release date announcement for the new season.
When is the Black Ops Cold War Season 2 release date?
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 2 will begin on February 25, 2021. The in-game timer on the battle pass suggested that the first season would end on February 24, so this release date makes a lot of sense.
This release continues to follow the two-month cadence that Call of Duty seasons have been on since Modern Warfare. As such, we can expect this Season 2 of Black Ops Cold War to run through late April or early May 2021.
Is there a Black Ops Cold War Season 2 trailer?
Yes, there is! Ahead of the new season's launch on February 25, a cinematic trailer was released that continues the game's story. We see Frank woods and his crew in a firefight as they search for Russell Adler. Check it out below:
What changes will Season 2 make to Black Ops Cold War?
While Treyarch and Activision are still only in the teasing stage for the next season, we are starting to get a decent idea of what to expect. The Call of Duty blog tells players to "Get ready to descend into the heart of the Golden Triangle as Frank Woods and his team go on the hunt for Russell Adler, who went missing at the end of Season 1 after being captured by Stitch."
"But the strike team finds a new adversary in the form of Kapono “Naga” Vang, a ruthless trafficker of Nova 6," the post reads. Naga seems to be the next main villain of Black Ops Cold War's story. The YouTube description adds, "In Season 2, head to a stronghold in the jungles of Laos to strike back, rescue Adler from captivity, and even the fight." So it seems like a new jungle map and some of the new operators that will get added.
If it's like every other Call of Duty season, we can expect brand new Operater skins, guns, maps, and modes for players to tinker with. Of course, a lot of these new additions will be tied to the Battle Pass for the next season.
What changes will Season 2 make to Call of Duty: Warzone?
Starting with Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the game is now compatible and integrated into the free-to-play battle royale success that is Call of Duty: Warzone. While Activision has not confirmed any more changes to Warzone with Season 2 just yet, we expect integration between Black Ops Cold War and Warzone to strengthen as time goes on.
The new battle pass as well as all of the operators and weapons introduced in the next season will also be usable in Warzone. We can also expect some major map changes as those happen on Verdansk with every new season. As we get closer to February 25, we should learn more about what exactly will be added or changed in Warzone.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 2 will begin on February 25, 2021.
