Activision has now officially announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s Season 3 will be launching on April 3, a release window that seems to indicate a delay from its previously anticipated timing. The publisher also teased that this upcoming season will be a “big moment” for both games, giving rise to speculation among fans.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 3 Delayed to April 3, Promises a “Big Moment” for Both Games
Using in-game battle pass timer data for Season 2, fans had assumed Season 3 would begin on March 20, as soon as the current season concluded. But Activision has confirmed the season is being delayed two weeks. “We’re taking the time to deliver a great experience starting on April 3,” the publisher stated in its official announcement on X (formerly Twitter).
As a result of this postponement, it stands to reason that the existing Season 2 battle pass timer will be extended, with players finding themselves with more time to wrap up challenges and collect rewards. While this may not be the news that everyone wants to hear, this delay could do wonders for battle pass progress and those who need more time to get their games in. Activision has remained tight-lipped about what makes Season 3 such a major update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone. That said, there’s rampant speculation that the upcoming season might be a trip down memory lane with a return to classic content, like the much-desired return to Verdansk, the much-loved map from previous Warzone titles.
Details for the upcoming season will be unveiled in the coming days after Warzone’s 5th anniversary on March 10. Fans who want more details should look out for official announcements, as well as leaks and rumors of likely new content and gameplay changes, and map updates. Season 2 continues to have new content, including a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) crossover event, which offers outfit skins, challenges, and other rewards yet to be unlocked before the season concludes.
