Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 launch details

Activision and Infinity Ward have announced that Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will launch on November 6, 2026. The update introduces significant content across multiple game modes, including Multiplayer, DMZ, and Warzone.

In Multiplayer, players will have access to three initial maps: Backstab, a war-torn snowy town; Canyon, a desert region with rock walls; and a reimagined Shoot House set in North Korea. Mid-season updates are expected to add the Ministry and Overflow maps. Returning fan-favorite modes include Grind and Drop Zone, alongside new options like Gauntlet 1v1.

The DMZ mode will expand with the X01 Black Site, a secret weapons facility located near Hajin that is currently occupied by North Korean forces. This area features underground laboratories, tunnels, and a Deep Vault.

Call of Duty: Warzone will also receive updates with the addition of the Hajin and Zodiac maps, as well as the return of Verdansk and Rebirth Island. To bridge the gap before the official season launch, special Halloween-themed modes, Possession and Infected, will be released in late October.
