Call of Duty Season 3 release date – when is it out?

Call of Duty is due another season very soon.

These seasons are major events, introducing new storylines, as well as maps, weapons, modes and more.

The latest is 2021 Season 2, and arrived on Thursday, February 25.

And that means Season 3 will begin very soon.

Each season usually lasts around two months, so we’d likely get Season 3 towards the end of April.

Activision typically gives notice for these big updates, so we could find out about the new season this week.

Of course, Activision won’t reveal any details ahead of its official announcement – so we’ll have to rely on rumours, leaks and educated guesswork for now.

Call of Duty Season 3 news and rumours – what’s happening?

In terms of the main Cold War game, we can expect new guns, maps and Operators.

We’ll also get a brand new Battle Pass that has fresh rewards for you to earn as the season progresses.

The big news relates to Warzone, where huge changes are rumoured.

Reddit is awash with rumours and leaks about the free-to-play Battle Royale mode.

Rumours suggest that Warzone’s Verdansk map will be destroyed in a “nuke” event.

This is expected to be replaced with a new version of Verdansk, although details are still unclear.

It was previously rumoured that a snowy Ural Mountains map comprising of Fireteam game mode locations would be the new Warzone destination.

But recent leaks have suggested that this won’t be the case.

New weapons are expected to be added, with the PPSH submachine gun among those rumoured.

And although no solid info has leaked, a new season typically introduces fresh multiplayer maps and Operators.

So we’d expect to see a similar line-up for Season 3.

In other news, The Sun’s favourite alternative to a games console is the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.

Check out the wildly impressive Panasonic 65HZ1000 TV, which makes most tellies look rubbish.

And Dell’s Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition is a gaming PC powerhouse that crushes both the new consoles.
