Activision has announced a later-than-expected release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone's upcoming Season 3. The official announcement, shared via Twitter, states:

Season 3 will launch on April 3rd, with further details promised next week. This is a delay from the previously anticipated March 20th launch suggested by the current Battle Pass countdown.
Anticipation for Season 3 is high, fueled by ongoing teases of the Verdansk map's return. Recent speculation intensified with a "Verdansk Collection" pop-up in the Call of Duty shop, hinting at a March 10th release, potentially coinciding with a Season 3 overview.
While we await next week's details, players can still enjoy Season 2's offerings, including five new multiplayer maps, the return of Gun Game, new weapons and operators, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event.
