Warzone joins MW4 on 6 November: Hajin, Zodiac, perk-free Tactical Sprint and the end of PS4 and Xbox One

Activision has published the full Warzone Season 1 briefing. Warzone moves onto MW4 when the season starts at midnight ET on 6 November (9 PM PT on 5 November). It brings two new maps, MW4’s weapons and progression, and some big platform changes.

Platforms

• Warzone launches on Nintendo Switch 2 with Season 1.
• It will no longer be playable on PS4 or Xbox One. Progress carries over to a supported platform if you sign in with the same Activision account.

Maps

• Hajin is the new battle royale map. It covers both sides of the Korean border with 13 major POIs, weather that affects visibility, and a Gulag with two 1v1 arena layouts.
• Zodiac is the new Resurgence map. It’s a compact drone facility with ten POIs, tunnels, moving trains and interactive hazards.
• Verdansk and Rebirth Island both return during the season, not at launch.

Modes at launch

• Battle Royale and BR Casual on Hajin and Verdansk; Resurgence and Resurgence Casual on Zodiac and Rebirth Island.
• Limited-time modes: Rally Point (Zodiac, 20 players), Massive Resurgence (Hajin, 120 players) and Loaded Resurgence (44 players).
• Extreme Resurgence and Rockets and Snipers are planned for mid-season.

Movement and gameplay

• Tactical Sprint no longer needs a perk, but it lasts slightly less long.
• You can now drag a teammate while reviving them.
• New gear includes the Zipline Launcher and Grabber Drone, plus movable fuel barrels and pushable cover.
• New systems: Grind for Royalty challenges, Weapon Augments bought from Fly Buy stations, Ground Ops, and Resurgence-only Weapon Trade Stations and Drop Kits.
• Loadouts use 15 perks across three slots, plus three Elite Perks (Athleticism, Phantom and Fieldcraft) found in matches.

Weapons and progression

• Player Level resets and is shared across Multiplayer, DMZ and Warzone, with optional Prestige.
• All 33 MW4 launch weapons are in, plus the Season 1 additions, with Weapon Prestige, Mastery Camos and Apex Attachments.
• Operators and cosmetics from MW2, MW3, Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 carry forward, with a new Warzone-only Operator Skin Toggle.
• Older weapons are still usable, but each has a fixed five-attachment base version and can’t be edited in Gunsmith. Legacy Blueprints start locked and unlock with Player XP in the Armory.
• The Mastery Camos named in the briefing are Parallax, Damascus Reforged and Empyros.

Events

A Return to Call of Duty: Warzone event at launch awards the Renaissance, Violet Striker and Neutral Ground camos, with more events promised during the season. Ranked play and the Season 1 end date weren’t covered.
