The next major update for Modern Warfare 3 will be Season 2. MW3 Season 2 is set to bring tons of new content and gameplay changes so here’s everything we know so far including its start date and a preview of the new maps.

Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Reloaded arrived in January 2024 and finally brought a Ranked Play mode, the new Rio map, and new weapons. Now that the new content has settled in, all eyes are on MW3’s Season 2 update.

Seasonal updates are when Call of Duty games receive the most content and changes so here’s everything we know about Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 including the start date and all of the content it’s set to bring.

MW3 Season 2 release date

Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 will be released on February 7, 2024. This was confirmed by the official Call of Duty account on X alongside Season 2’s key art reveal.

MW3 Season 2 The Walking Dead Operators & Hordepoint mode

The devs revealed that Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 will feature a The Walking Dead crossover. Players can expect both Rick Grimes and Michonne Operators to be available in MW3.

These additions are meant to celebrate the start of The Walking Dead‘s spinoff series called The Ones Who Live, which features both Grimes and Michonne in leading roles.

A themed The Walking Dead event is likely to make its way to Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 with unique rewards up for grabs. In addition, players will get the chance to test out a new mode called Hordepoint. At the moment, little is known about what the mode could bring. However, from the trailer below, it seems like a zombie-filled twist on Hardpoint.

MW3 Season 2 new maps & event overhauls

Thanks to a teaser trailer for MW3 Season 2, we know that three new 6v6 maps are coming to the game. In addition, players will have a new War mode experience to dive into.

Stash House (6v6)
Vista (6v6)
Departures (6v6)
Operation Tin Man (War)

At the moment, there’s no telling when these maps will arrive, but it’s likely that one will only make its way to MW3 with the mid-season update.

The trailer also gives players a preview of a few maps that are set to receive event-themed overhauls to fit in with The Walking Dead crossover.

Overgrown (Skidrow)
Overrun (Terminal)
Overloaded

Based on the trailer, we haven’t deciphered what the Overloaded map could be, but we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we find out. Each of the maps gives players a look at what the battlegrounds might look like years into a Zombie outbreak.
