FORGE YOUR PATH IN SEASON 02
Even in the face of chaos, the modern warrior walks an honorable path, one of integrity, respect, courage, honor, compassion, justice, and loyalty. Learning these ways of the warrior will separate the elite Operators from the rest of the pack, as the global conflict calls for a swift resurgence to an island off the coast of Japan.
Prepare to forge your path and create a legacy in Season 02 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, set to launch on February 15 across all platforms. In addition to a new WarzoneT 2.0 map, which will be featured in Resurgence and DMZ game modes, this update will bring Ranked Play to Multiplayer along with four additional maps, as well as returning modes from the franchise’s storied past. Expect plenty of new features across both games, including four new free functional weapons and the return of the modern samurai Daniel “Ronin” Shinoda.
Season 02 of Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 will launch from February 15 at 9AM PST / February 16 at 1 AM GMT+8.
