Modern Warfare & Warzone Update 1.62

All good things must come to an end, and this applies to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone as well! Activision has revealed Vanguard & Warzone Season 5 called “Last Stand,” which is the final season for both games before we dive into Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone 2 later this year! 

Vanguard and Warzone’s last season will launch August 24! Vanguard gets the data download on August 23 at 9 am PT/6 am ET/6 pm HKT, though Season 5 won’t start until August 24. Warzone players will be able to download Season 5 at 9 am PT/6 am ET/6 pm HKT on August 24 a few hours before the season starts. Read on for the content drop incoming that includes new maps, a new Zombies mode experience and more! 

COD Vanguard & Warzone Season 5 “Last Stand”  Overview:

Last Stand is bringing major updates to all three gaming experiences. In Warzone, Caldera’s Peak is ready to rumble — players can wreak havoc or defend the island from sabotage. In Multiplayer, players will deploy to two new fast-paced maps, Beheaded and Fortress. The Zombies story continues the Dark Aether saga, where players face off against Kortifex the Deathless in Vanguard’s round-based finale, “The Archon.”
 
Warzone Updates Include:
  • Volcanic Activity at Caldera. Ominous seismic activity is occurring at the Peak. Avoid the lava flowing at your feet and watch for molten rocks shooting sky-high and back down to earth again.
  • New Caldera Gulag, Lighting Changes. Get back into the match with the new volcanic-themed Gulag inspired by an old favorite. Plus, experience new skies and lighting updates across Caldera and Rebirth Island.
  • New Tools and Opportunities. Trigger the Doomsday Station and defend your position to earn a unique cosmetic reward along with powerful in-game items. Up your game with the Supply Box UAV, Personal Supply Box, and Rage Serum.
  • Defend or Sabotage Caldera. Compete in the limited-time mode, Operation: Last Call, inspired by Search and Destroy, featuring different outcomes based on your match results. Choose your side in the Heroes vs. Villains Community Event and earn rewards for participating.
Vanguard Updates Include:
  • New Maps: Beheaded, Fortress. Take up position inside Lady Liberty’s head in the small post-apocalyptic New York City landscape of Beheaded, and battle in a desert graveyard featuring the remains of old ships in Fortress.
  • Round-Based Zombies Finale: “The Archon.” The epic conclusion of Vanguard Zombies is here in the latest round-based experience featuring a familiar hunting ground, new narrative quest and side quests, new Dark Aether story revelations, and the final showdown with Kortifex the Deathless himself.

While this is the final season of content for Vanguard and Warzone, there’s no need to worry for Call of Duty players, as the “Call of Duty Next” event is set for September 15, where we’ll see the full reveal of Modern Warfare 2, as well as Warzone 2!

But they also said that we’ll be able to play WZ1 when WZ2 starts. So does that mean Season 5 will never end?
