Season 1 reloaded for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone will start soon, adding a second batch of content to give players more things to enjoy before jumping into a new one.

To help you prepare for the upcoming additions, here is everything we know about the new content.

Release date

Season 1 reloaded for Black Ops 6 is scheduled to begin on Thursday, December 5 at 9:00 am PT (5:00 pm GMT). A new update will add all the new content and PC players can preload it one or two days before its release.

On the other hand, preload for console players will go live a few hours before launch as usual.

The second half of the season will last longer than the first since Season 1 is currently scheduled to end on January 28, 2025.

New maps

Season 1 reloaded brings one new map, a remastered version of a map from a previous Black Ops game, and a remake of a map available in the current title. Here is the list:

Black Ops 6 Hacienda map preview
  • Hacienda (6v6): A remastered version of the Black Ops 4 map.
  • Racket (2v2/6v6): A brand-new map.
  • Nuketown Holiday (6v6): Nuketown with snow and Christmas decorations.

New weapons

These are the remaining Season 1 weapons that will be added to the game with the mid-season update:

Inspecting the Maelstrom in Black Ops 6
  • Maelstrom (Shotgun)
  • AMR Mod 4 (Sniper Rifle)
  • Cleaver (Melee)

All three weapons are listed to be part of the rewards of an upcoming event, similar to how the Power Drill and Sirin 9mm are rewards of the Hit List event.

Zombies

Season 1 reloaded brings a new map and several new additions to Black Ops 6 Zombies mode. The map is titled Citadelle des Morts and here is the intro cinematic in case you haven't seen it:

After the events of Terminus, Weaver and the rest of the crew arrive at a medieval city in the Avalon region, located in Europe. The characters meet up with an old friend, Sergei Ravenov, a character who helped us on several occasions throughout the Black Ops Cold War story and an old friend of Samantha.

For more details about the map and the new features being added to Zombies with this update, check out this article as we will gather all the information there.

Other details

Here are other minor details and additions coming with the Season 1 reloaded update:

  • The High Roller Wildcard, which allows you to run a fourth scorestreak in multiplayer, will be added.
  • A new Recon-type perk called Shrapnel Radar will be added. Its official description says:
    • Dealing blast damage to enemies will reveal them on your minimap. This includes any enemies affected by your area-of-effect Tacticals, Lethals, and Field Upgrades.

We will update this article once the full details are revealed to add any missing detail or information about Season 1 reloaded for Black Ops 6.
