Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty Warzone Season 6 will be going live on Tuesday, September 29. Exact timings remain unknown, although if it follows previous trends you can expect it to arrive at 10AM PT/1PM ET /6PM BST.

Call of Duty Warzone Season 6 Operators – Who is joining the battlefield?

Infinity Ward is once again bringing some familiar faces into the fold with the arrival of Season 6, drawing from the narrative of Modern Warfare’s solo campaign to bolster its Warzone roster. 

Farah will be introduced as an instant unlock for the premium battle pass, while Nikolai will act as the final unlock for Tier 100. You can catch them in action throughout the Season 6 cinematic trailer, which also showcases some potential changes coming to Warzone’s map design. 

“Zakhaev’s plan takes a turn as two familiar faces uncover more about Mr. Z’s underground network and operations in Verdansk. Farah and Nikolai both re-enter the fight to help long-time ally Captain Price with the ongoing conflict following the breakdown of the Armistice.,” reads the official blog post, which also provides a look at the some skins coming for both operators.

Call of Duty Warzone Season 6 map changes – Any big differences?

The true map developments of Season 6 won’t become clear until the update itself goes live, but the cinematic trailer seen above provides a few clues as to what big changes could be coming to Verdansk later this week. 

In the trailer, Farah and Nikolai can be seen fighting through what appear to be subway tunnels, adding further weight to rumours that a transport system of sorts could be making its way to Warzone. Claustrophobic subway tunnels could be perfect for tense firefights in battle royale, and it will be interesting to see if it even introduces a fast travel system of sorts.
