Warzone

Warzone is adding a new area called Launch Pad to the Verdansk map. This will start a new in-game event called Flashpoint, where missiles will randomly target different locations.

I’m so hyped! Avalon isn’t available right when the game starts, but it’s coming to the main Battle Royale map soon. And get this – they’re adding wall jumping and a Grappling Hook too! It’s going to change everything!

When the update releases, you’ll be able to play the Launch Squad limited-time mode. The Iron Gauntlet will become available a bit later this season.

Zombies

In Season 3 of Zombies, a new area called Ashwood Survival will be added. Players will explore the Ashwood location from the Ashes of the Damned map, and they’ll be able to find the Pack-a-Punch machine there.

We’re also introducing Paradox Junction Directed Mode, which will guide players to the Easter Egg and unlock cool rewards.

Finally, we’re excited to announce that both Zombie Battle and Starting Room modes will be available when the game launches!

Later on in the season, we’ll also be getting the next Zombies map, Totenreich.
