The Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone Season 5 start time is almost upon us, with plenty looking forward to the latest updates to the popular shooter. Though the jury’s still out on this next update, Activision and Blizzard are surely hoping the latest one will be received well after the largely underwhelming content additions included with Season 4 Reloaded.
Modern Warfare 2’s countdown to obsoletion is further exacerbated by the impending arrival of the Call of Duty 2023 entry, which was initially supposed to be an expansion but has since been turned into a standalone game instead that’s set to steal away its predecessor’s audience. In fact, as a part of this season, we know there’ll be an in-game event that will lead into the reveal of Call of Duty 2023.
Despite the seemingly doomed conclusion of MW2, though, there’s always the possibility that the fifth season could redeem the current entry with a bevy of key content introductions. As we’ve been hearing over the past week, Season 5’s inclusions include rappers such as Snoop Dogg, a bunch of brand new maps and game modes and even a canine companion revealed in the Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone Season 5 Battle Pass.
So if you want to know what’s being added as soon as it drops, we’ve got you covered with the upcoming season’s start time here.
