Season 3 roadmap for MW3, Warzone, and Warzone Mobile
Zombies mode includes a new story mission, the third Dark Aether Rift quest, more schematics to unlock, and a new Warlord boss. Unfortunately, all of the Zombies content is scheduled for the mid-season update.
Season 3’s update for Warzone includes the return of Rebirth Island for Resurgence modes, featuring a new Champion’s Quest nuke challenge with unique rewards.
Two features return from Warzone 1:
Foresight provides the intel of knowing all future gas circles, including the end game circle. For Season 3, this will be a rare killstreak instead of a perk, but it works the same way as it did in Warzone 1.Specialist gives players every perk available in Warzone.
Warzone also adds a “Bootcamp” mode for new players. This mode features 20 real players and 24 bots, and is only available to play in Quads.
Warzone Mobile recently launched on March 21, and the game shares progression and the battle pass with MW3 and the standard version of Warzone. Season 3 will add Warzone’s Plunder and Buy Back modes to the mobile version, and the Rust map arrives for Warzone Mobile’s small selection of multiplayer modes.
