The two latest Call of Duty titles are ready to receive yet another major content update. Following the integration of Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, the two games have already got two seasons. Now, Activision is preparing to roll out Season 3 to both the games full of exciting new content.

The studio recently released the content roadmap for the upcoming season of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. Just like the previous seasons, the developers have outdone themselves, preparing a stacked roadmap for both games. Black Ops Cold War gets a majority of the new content, including lots of additions to the Zombies mode too.

Call of Duty Warzone, on the other hand, doesn’t get a lot in terms of content. However, according to the roadmap, players will definitely see a map update as well as a new event called ‘Hunt for Adler’. There will also be new operators and weapons coming to both the games via the Battle Pass and some through the mid-season update.
