Season one of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone delayed, Black Ops 2’s Raid confirmed as a new map

Season one of Black Ops Cold War, and its integration into Warzone, will now begin on Dec. 16 as opposed to the originally planned date of Dec. 10. No reason was given for the change.

Activision outlined all of the content coming to both games, including classic Black Ops 2 map Raid being added to Black Ops Cold War and “a new Gulag experience” in Warzone. The publisher also confirmed the season will include a brand new map in Warzone.

For Zombies players, the new season will offer new modes and seasonal challenges. It doesn’t sound like there will be a new Zombies map in this first season, but those are likely coming down the line.

Updates will hit both games before the seasons begin, including updates for Black Ops Cold War on both Dec. 8 and Dec. 15, and a Warzone update on Dec. 16.

To thank players for their patience for the delay, double XP and double weapon XP will be enabled in Black Ops Cold War from Dec. 12 until the launch of the new season.
