It's been a non-stop throng of content ever since Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launched, and believe it or not we're already on the cusp of the second season.
Season 1 is about to end, so if you still have tiers on the Battle Pass to complete, now is very much the time to do it. When Season 2 comes around there will be an all-new battle pass, an all-new BlackCell version of the battle pass, and regular content drops and in-game events to look forward to.
The second season will also cover both Zombies and Warzone modes, with shared levelling and rewards across both these and Black Ops 6 multiplayer.
When does Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2 start?
Season 2 in Black Ops 6 and Warzone is confirmed to begin on January 28. So there really isn't much time left to complete the Season 1 battle pass if you still haven't. When Season 2 starts, it will be gone and replaced by a new one. Ranked Play will go down before the end of Season 1, with it turned off at midnight Pacific on January 28 until the new season is live.
Season 2 is scheduled to go live at 9 a.m. Pacific, which is 12 p.m. Eastern or 5 p.m. in the UK.
As it's a new season with new content, you can also expect to have to download a game update first before you can play. Season 2 is introducing a lot of changes, so expect a hefty download.
What can we expect from Season 2 in Black Ops 6 and Warzone?
There's a lot of content coming throughout Season 2, some available at launch, and some dropped throughout the season.
The subsequently released trailer details five new maps coming, three at launch and two more mid-season. One of them looks a lot like a remake of the famous old Hijacked map from Black Ops past, albeit potentially a little smaller.

We also have a new Zombies map coming, The Tomb, and a raft of changes to quality of life in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. One of the big ones to prick up many ears is the ability to opt-out of crossplay in ranked modes for console players. There will be three options available on console, with players able to have full crossplay, console crossplay with PlayStation, and platform specific console crossplay. Without the PC pool, players are warned of potentially longer matchmaking times, but it could be worth it.
Cheaters has been a hot topic in the Call of Duty community, with the higher tiers on the ladder in ranked play, in particular, a hotbed of bad actors. There are significant changes promised to Ricochet, so hopefully they actually make a difference.
A recent community update outlined many plans for Season 2 and into Season 3, so definitely give that a read if you haven't yet.
Otherwise, we'll sit patiently waiting for Season 2 and its goodies to arrive. While we wait, check out the launch trailer below.
