What to expect from CoD BO7 Season 1 Reloaded

As a huge fan, I’m really excited for Season 1 Reloaded! There’s just so much new stuff coming, it’s hard to contain my excitement!

The biggest update is the addition of three new maps for Multiplayer. One of these is completely new, and the other two are fan favorites making a comeback.

  • Yakei (6v6 / 2v2)
  • Meltdown (6v6)
  • Fringe (6v6)

The game’s zombie mode is getting some improvements! The Zarya Cosmodrome map, previously used in Ashes of the Damned, will now be a dedicated Survival map, and Astra Malorum will gain a Directed mode for a different gameplay experience.

The upcoming campaign will introduce two new world events. So far, we only have details on one: Wraith Wing, which centers around a Guild aircraft that can create clones.

On the weaponry front, we only know about two new weapons joining the game thus far:

  • Hawker HX (Sniper Rifle, FKA Ballista Sniper)
  • Sturmwolf 45 (SMG, FKA UMP45)

Finally, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Fallout to mark the current season of the TV show.

Details are scarce so far, but a brief preview suggests Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul will all make appearances.
