But when is this all coming into focus? Fear not, you’ve got a while yet to prepare for the BO6 and Warzone integration.

When is the Black Ops 6 Warzone integration?

Warzone integrates with Black Ops 6 with the Season 1 update on Nov. 14.

This season starts much earlier than previous years as the first seasonal update of any new CoD title arrives roughly a month after launch. It’s also worth noting that seasonal updates have always arrived on Wednesdays since Vanguard, so Nov. 14 bucks that trend.

Warzone changes with Black Ops 6

The main change to Warzone will be the addition of Black Ops 6’s Omnimovement, letting players sprint, slide, and dive in any direction without losing momentum. Of course, all BO6’s weapons, Operators, and cosmetics will be added to the battle royal too.

Warzone also gets the brand-new Area 99 Resurgence map with the update, which has been described as the birthplace of Nuketown, as well as Urzikstan Ranked Play “shortly after the launch of Season 1.”
