MW3andWarzone‘s Season 4 Reloadedpatches are now in the books, with the newReclaimer 18shotgun added to the game, aSledgehammer melee weapon, and a new multiplayer map too. Even with all that new content though, players are already thinking about the next one, which is Season 5.

When doesMW3andWarzoneSeason 5 begin?

MW3andWarzoneSeason 5 is expected to kick off on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. This is because seasons generally last eight weeks, and this would be eight weeks exactly since Season 4 began.

Unfortunately, this hasn’t been confirmed by the developers just yet, so take this information with a pinch of salt. There have been occasions where the developer has moved seasonal launches, either due to holidays or a need to delay them and work on them further. We’ll be sure to update this article when we know more.

What will be included inMW3andWarzoneSeason 5?

While we don’t know the exact details of what will be included, we can make educated guesses about what will come based on previous seasons.

We would expect there to be some sort of crossover with another media entity, whether it be a movie, game, or TV series, along with at least one new gun, and possibly a melee weapon too. There’s also likely to be at least one multiplayer map, a new Battle Pass, additional game modes, and changes toWarzonemaps.
