Season 04 of **Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone** dropped on **June 4, 2026**, and it’s one of the most content-packed updates in the franchise’s recent history — plus RICOCHET Anti-Cheat just got a serious upgrade that every fair-play fan will appreciate.

## Black Ops 7 Season 04 : Overview

## What’s New in Multiplayer

Season 04 expands the Multiplayer map pool with a mix of brand-new and returning favourites. **Liminal** is a new small-sized map where the centre actively changes mid-match — stay alert or get caught out. **Primetime** throws players into a Japanese game show obstacle course in a chaotic new 6v6 setting. **Vertigo**, first introduced in Black Ops 2, returns fully remastered.

Mid-season brings even more — **Zenith**, a luxurious cliffside estate with waterfall views, and the fan-favourite **Launch** map from the original Black Ops, also fully remastered.

New modes include **Black Ops Classic** (a throwback gameplay mode), the returning **Blueprint Gun Game**, and **6v6 Gunfight**.

## RICOCHET Anti-Cheat Season 04 — The Crackdown Is Real

This is the update the community has been waiting for. Season 04’s RICOCHET update introduces **Reduced Matchmaking for Failed Attestation** — players who don’t meet TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements are placed into separate matchmaking pools, limited to Nuketown 24/7 in Black Ops 7 and Battle Royale Casual in Warzone.

The crackdown on cheating hardware is also producing results. Nearly two-thirds of players temporarily banned for using unauthorized input devices like Cronus Zen and XIM Matrix changed their behaviour after enforcement, returning to Black Ops 7 without the scripts that got them banned.

These updates are designed to make it harder for bad actors to play Call of Duty while protecting fair play for everyone else — and Activision has confirmed detections will continue to evolve throughout Season 04 and beyond.
