What happened
Call of Duty published the complete Season 06 overview on September 8.
The announcement distinguishes launch content from in-season additions and paid Battle Pass items.
The practical change: Use the roadmap to plan downloads and unlocks, then verify balance values in the launch patch notes before changing a competitive loadout.
What is confirmed
- Season 06 starts September 17 at 9am PT.
- Avalon receives a night variant and a Forbidden Summoning event.
- Warzone's Haven's Hollow becomes Haunted Hollow and hosts a 64-player Giant Infected mode.
- The VMP and TR51 Para are Battle Pass base weapons, with Arcblade and Roc 20mm tied to events.
What this means for players
Players can prioritize free weapon unlock paths separately from cosmetic purchases.
Ranked seasons are described as shortened, so reward planning should start at launch.
What is still unconfirmed
Final download size, all regional maintenance windows and launch-day balance values remain for the separate patch notes.
What to do next
- 01Check the launch patch notes before September 17 play.
- 02Separate free weapon unlocks from premium Battle Pass rewards.
- 03Do not use roadmap screenshots as final damage-value evidence.
