Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Season 1 launches on November 6, marking the game's first major content update post-release. The new season adds multiplayer maps, returning modes, and the DMZ zone X01, while integrating with Call of Duty: Warzone.
Two Halloween events will launch before the start of the season. The Possession mode, where players instantly teleport to an enemy's location upon eliminating them, debuts on October 29. The Infected mode returns on October 30.
The official season will add three medium-sized maps to the standard multiplayer pool: Backstab, Canyon, and a remastered Shoot House, which now features a North Korean setting. Mid-season plans include Ministry, set during a global peace summit, and Overflow, connecting a factory to farmland.
Grind and Drop Zone modes will return in Season 1. Gauntlet 1v1 allows winners to stay in the match and wager trophies, while Counter Attack will be added later. DMZ will also introduce Operators XERO and Blix, and unlock X01, a small sealed area within an old Russian weapons facility where players can search for new gear.
Call of Duty: Warzone will integrate Hajin and Zodiac, and bring back Verdansk and Rebirth Island, with full details expected on November 2. The Season 1 Battle Pass features a 100-tier reward track, and Premium Pass holders can earn at least 50 rewards through the catch-up system.
