Season 5 Reloaded for Black Ops 6 and Warzone is about to start, and the patch notes have been released. This update is not as significant as the one from the start of the season, which was expected, given that the game is in its final stages of its post-launch cycle.
Although the changes are not as big, the patch does make some adjustments, addresses several issues, and more. We have all the details in one place, so you can read about them while you wait for the update to be ready.
When does Black Ops 6 Season 5 Reloaded come out?
Season 5 Reloaded of Black Ops 6 is scheduled to begin on Thursday, September 4th, at 9:00 AM PT (5:00 PM BST). This is expected to be the last post-launch season for the game, since the season is scheduled to end on October 9th, almost a month before the launch of Black Ops 7.
