Season 5 is almost here, and Call of Duty isn’t slowing down. With Black Ops 7 looming on the horizon, Black Ops 6 and Warzone are still getting one last content-packed update. From the final Zombies chapter to rumored weapon returns and fresh multiplayer maps, here’s everything we know, and what we’ve heard, about the upcoming season.
Black Ops 6 Season 5 Start Date
The fifth and final season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to arrive on Thursday, August 7, 2025, after the end of the battle pass, rolling out at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST. As we get closer to the full Black Ops 7 reveal, Season 5 brings a packed send-off — with new content for Multiplayer, Warzone, and the conclusion to the Zombies storyline.
Black Ops 6 Season 5 What to Expect
Season 5 marks the final chapter of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most content-rich updates yet. Whether you’re grinding ranked, diving into the undead, or chasing wins in Warzone, there’s something big coming for every mode.
- Zombies wraps up its storyline with one last map set in the Janus Towers, following the events of Shattered Veil. Expect a cinematic finale, a new perk (rumored to be Widow’s Wine or Zombshell), and the final battle against S.A.M.
- Multiplayer gets a fresh batch of maps, game modes, and a new selection of weapons — including the MP-40 SMG and M60 LMG, if leaks hold true. You can also expect new operators and midseason content updates to keep the pace going.
- Warzone may evolve again, with Verdansk’s Stadium likely to open up new interiors like a boardroom and computer room. Datamines suggest a possible “Stadium lockdown” mechanic tied to an event or Easter egg.
- The Battle Pass delivers the usual mix of cosmetics, blueprints, and bonus items, plus a confirmed crossover: The Fisherman from I Know What You Did Last Summer joins the operator roster.
With Black Ops 7 already teased and set for a full reveal at Gamescom, Season 5 isn’t just a conclusion — it’s also a setup for what’s coming next. Here’s a full breakdown of what’s official, what’s leaked, and what’s likely to change the meta one last time before the next generation of Black Ops begins.
