Update 4/3: Activision has confirmed thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 3’s release dateis actually Wednesday, April 8, not Tuesday, April 7 as many assumed. Original story follows.
Call of Duty: Modern WarfareSeason 2 kicked off in February, and brought with it the fan favoriteMW2map Rust, brand new game modes, and the debut of the mega popularWarzonebattle royale.Call of Duty: Modern WarfareSeason 3 has a lot to live up to, but to date, Activision has kept tight-lipped about what fans can expect from the game’s next season. Official details have yet to be announced, but we do know whenModern WarfareSeason 3 is expected to start, and a couple of maps that it may be bringing to the table.
TheModern WarfareSeason 2 end dateis Tuesday, April 7, which is also expected to be theModern WarfareSeason 3 start date. If past seasons are anything to go by,Modern WarfareSeason 3 will launch at some point in the morning on April 7, and it will coincide with a large update. The update will provide the usual bug fixes and the like, but it will also add substantial content toCall of Duty: Modern Warfare.

As for what that content will be, that remains to be seen. Presumably, fans will have new weapons, playlists, and game modes to look forward to, but all of that remains a mystery at this time. However, it should be noted that two potential new maps forModern WarfareSeason 3have already leaked thanks to dataminers and a glitch within the game itself that showed the new maps to players while they were matchmaking.
If the leaks are accurate, thenModern WarfareSeason 3 will kick off with two remade maps from pastCall of Dutygames. Apparently,Modern Warfare 3’s Village andCall of Duty 4’s Backlotare coming to the game with Season 3, though it’s possible that Infinity Ward will release them on different days instead. It’s also possible that Infinity Ward has completely different maps planned forModern WarfareSeason 3, but that seems unlikely at this point.
As for when fans will learn WarfareSeason 3, that’s hard to say. It’s possible that more information will come this Friday, but Activision and Infinity Ward have shown a tendency to make last-minute announcements when it comes to newModern Warfarecontent. That’s what it did for theWarzonebattle royale announcement, and it’s also what it did with the reveal ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, so fans will just have to wait and see at this point.
If theModern WarfareSeason 3 release date is indeed April 7 as anticipated, though, more information fromInfinity Wardshould be available within the next week.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
