Warzone Season 5 Reloaded has dropped and, as such, the battle royale’s player-base are wondering what is next. Activision have officially confirmed there will not be a Warzone Pacific Season 6, meaning fans can officially look towards Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
Warzone Season 5 Reloaded has now dropped, bringing a host of changes to the CoD battle royale and, elsewhere, to Sledgehammer’s Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Will there be a Warzone Pacific and Vanguard Season 6?
First things first. Activision has confirmed there will not be a Warzone Season 6 during the Vanguard life-cycle. Similarly, Vanguard itself will not have a Season 6.
Season 5 Reloaded was the final major update of Last Stand, meaning the only updates from here will be small patches to improve quality of life and other minor adjustments.
That might disappoint some people, but it does mean that players can properly look ahead to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 seasons and release
MWII will launch on October 28. That means this final season of Warzone Pacific will be roughly two months in length – as has become standard. We also now know that Warzone 2 will launch a few weeks later, in the middle of November.

As such, Modern Warfare 2 will launch in ‘Season 0’, with Season 1 starting when the BR sequel drops, or shortly after.
Like the first Warzone, we do expect some level of synchronization between the two titles, but it’s not clear whether all content will transfer to the battle royale as happened with the first Warzone.
Activision and Raven have admitted this approach caused major problems, describing the game as ‘bloated’.
As more information becomes available, we’ll be the first to let you know.
