Call of Duty Warzone Season 1 launches on Thursday, December 4. The update arrives simultaneously across all platforms. Players can expect the servers to go live at 9:00 AM Pacific Time.

This major content drop integrates the new Black Ops 7 ecosystem into the battle royale. According to a Treyarch social media announcement, the update will fundamentally change the game’s meta. It marks the first major evolution for Warzone this year.
New Resurgence Map and Black Ops 7 Weapons Arrive
A brand-new Resurgence map named Haven’s Hollow is the headline addition. The map is set in a familiar Appalachian region called Liberty Falls. It features a blend of industrial and rural points of interest.
Its size sits strategically between Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep. This should create a perfect pace for fast-paced Resurgence matches. Key locations include a sprawling Mansion, a Riverboat, and a Research Center.
Seven new Black Ops 7 weapons will join the arsenal. These include the rapid-fire Maddox RFB assault rifle and the Kogot-7 SMG. All 28 primary weapons from Black Ops 7’s launch will also become available in Warzone.
Major Gameplay Overhaul and Verdansk Updates
The core gameplay is receiving its most significant shake-up in years. The Overkill perk is now a default feature, allowing two primary weapons from the start. Conversely, Tac Sprint must now be equipped as the “Sprinter” perk.
Weapon attachments are being reverted to a maximum of five. This change removes the eight-attachment Wildcard system from the previous season. Raven Software confirmed these adjustments are designed to create clearer build choices.
The classic Verdansk map is also getting two new points of interest. A high-tech Signal Station complex appears in the north. A large Factory site, familiar to veterans, has been rebuilt east of Superstore.
The new season fundamentally reshapes the Call of Duty Warzone Season 1 experience with a massive content injection and systemic changes.
