TheBlack Ops 6Season 1 release date is right around the corner, given that the game is now out for all players. In the coming weeks, players will be treated to a new Battle Pass to work through, changes to Warzone, as well as some new content for Multiplayer. Unfortunately, Activision has yet to announce the specifics regarding Season One, but has confirmed the launch date.

If you weren’t aware, newCall of Dutygames tend to launch in a sort of pre-season state these days. This gives players the chance to jump into the game, leveling up guns and getting to grips with the map selection before new content is added. As such, there’s currently no Battle Pass, but that’s set to change. Even without Season One content, we’re having a blast withBlack Ops 6, and it’s certainly looking to be a contender for our list of thebest FPS gamesto play in 2024.

As we near theBlack Ops 6Season 1 release date, we’ll likely start to hear more on what’ll be added, and on the precise timings. For now, here’s everything we know so far, including a look at when Season One comes out.

Black Ops 6 Season One - what’s being added?

While Activision is yet to fully detail Season One, we do have some info on what will be added. According to thisCOD blog post, there will be “all-new Multiplayer maps and modes, a terrifying new in-season Zombies map, as well as the introduction of Omnimovement and Black Ops 6 weapons and Loadout features to Call of Duty: Warzone”. For now, we know about three new maps: Hideout (6v6), Extraction (6v6) and Heirloom (6v6, 2v2). You can see a sneak peak of these all new maps below:

Black Ops 6 Season 1 - what we’d like to see

While we wait to hear exactly whatBlack Ops 6 Season Onehas in store, we’ll be thinking about what we’d like to see added to the game. Of course, a Battle Pass is coming but beyond that, new content is harder to predict. Given thatBlack Ops 6just launched, and given the fact that it contains all new maps, some familiar maps could be a welcome addition alongside Season One. We’d like to see the team pull from older Black Ops games specifically, such as Summit, as well as some of the best offerings from last year’s remasteredModern Warfare 2maps like Rust.

There are still plenty of weapons to work through inBlack Ops 6, so new weapons in Season One aren’t exactly top of our list of wishes. Instead, it’d be good to see further balancing patches, especially concerning the currently essential Gunfighter Wildcard. Over the next couple of weeks, it should become clear which guns inBlack Ops 6need nerfs, and which need buff. For now, though, the current slate of weapons feels surprisingly balanced, with everything from SMGs to Marksman rifles feeling genuinely viable.
