Activision has officially confirmed the release date for *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* and *Warzone* Season 3, although it’s arriving a bit later than many fans had hoped. As revealed in an official tweet from the Call of Duty account, Season 3 will officially kick off on **April 3, 2025**. While the delay may come as a surprise to some, the developers have emphasized their commitment to delivering a polished and exciting experience for players.

The news comes shortly before *Call of Duty: Warzone* celebrates its 5th anniversary, with more details about Season 3 expected to be shared the following week. This delay pushes the start of Season 3 further than many players anticipated, as the current Battle Pass was previously hinting at a reset date of March 20.
Fans are especially eager for what Season 3 might bring, particularly with the long-teased return of the iconic Verdansk map. Activision has hinted at its comeback multiple times, suggesting it would arrive sometime this spring. Adding to the anticipation, a recent in-game pop-up in the *Call of Duty* store mentioned “The Verdansk Collection” arriving on **March 10**, fueling speculation that this could signal Verdansk’s official return.
While we await more details next week, it’s possible that a full breakdown of Season 3 content will be released around the same time as “The Verdansk Collection” drops on March 10. In the meantime, players can continue enjoying Season 2, which has already brought a wealth of content including five new multiplayer maps, the return of Gun Game mode, fresh weapons and operators, and a special *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* crossover event. There’s plenty to keep fans engaged until the next big update arrives.
