In a small blog on the official site of Call of Duty they finally revealed when the mid– Season update for Warzone and Vanguard will be available and when the – Season 1 Reloaded will finally start. Here are the most important dates (all information refers to German time):

The patch notes will be published approximately with the release of the respective update, for the already available Vanguard update you can find them here on the official site of Sledgehammer Games. An official presentation of the – Season 1 Reloaded with roadmap and trailer, as it has happened over time, is still pending.

By the way, you can already unlock the new Welgun submachine gun from the Mid– Season Update, even before the official start of – Season 1 Reloaded. How exactly – you can find out here: Warzone: Unlock Welgun – How to get the new weapon from – Season 1 Reloaded.

Original message from 04.01.2022:

Santa Monica, California – The first joint – Season of Warzone and CoD: Vanguard already has a few weeks behind it and already shortly, i.e. this week, the traditional Reloaded mid– Season update should follow. This usually large mid– Season patch usually refreshes the playlists and brings all sorts of new content. This includes weapons or operators for Warzone and the current main title (right now it’s Vanguard). In addition, the Reloaded update addresses the most pressing issues of the games to date. We summarize what is known so far about the upcoming – Season 1 Reloaded.

Warzone: What we know so far about – Season 1 Reloaded

From the official side there is hardly any information about the upcoming mid– Season update, a detailed presentation of – Season 1 Reloaded is still completely missing. But some things are already known or speculated. Here are the most important things in a nutshell:

When does – Season 1 Reloaded start? There are no official details here yet, but for many fans and experts, one date in particular comes into question: January 11.

This is supported, for example, by a tweet from the Black Ops developer Treyarch from last Thursday, January 6. There it says, among other things: “Our mid– Season Vanguard Zombies update is coming on Tuesday”. This almost certainly means the following Tuesday, i.e. today’s 11.01. And it is extremely unlikely that only the zombie mode alone will receive a mid– Season update. So far, Warzone and the current CoD main title have always received such updates at the same time.

The general release pattern of mid– Season updates so far, as well as the – Season 1 Battle Pass, also point to the 11th. So even though there has still been no official presentation of – Season 1 Reloaded so far (as of Jan. 11, 9:30 a.m. German time), everything points to Jan. 11. Here in Germany, however, it could also be January 12 due to the time difference. So it may well be that the presentation takes place tonight and the release then tomorrow morning. In the US, it would still be January 11.

How big will the mid– Season update be? Again, there is no official information yet. But usually these patches will be much smaller than the updates at the start of a new – Season . So hopefully we will be spared a mammoth patch.

What content will – Season 1 Reloaded: Even though there has been no official introduction or announcement yet – some contents are already known now. They were already mentioned in the roadmaps for the launch of the current – Season 1 of Warzone and Vanguard.

Confirmed so far are:

• New bundles in the ingame store
• New operator: Isabella
• New weapon: Welgun (SMG) for Warzone and Vanguard, available via ingame challenge or via store bundle
• minor updates and a new feature for zombies

There is still speculation about some other potential content:

• A new map for Vanguard multiplayer. Three fresh maps were supposed to come into the game in the course of – Season 1, but so far there have only been two
• Weapon tuning for Vanguard and Warzone. For Vanguard there was no real tuning pass yet, for Warzone some weapons like the double barrel shotgun are simply too strong.
• Numerous bug fixes for Vanguard and Warzone (currently there are numerous annoying bugs like an invisible operator skin)
