The new Warzone Resurgence map is called Area 99, and is essentially a hugely expanded version of Nuketown.
The desert map features a host of roadways and sandy trenches, which are said to be centred around a central “bullseye” reactor.
Points of interest include a Mannequin factory, as well as a nuclear test site, abandoned shipping yard and Loading Bay.
Needless to say, the new season also adds a ton of rewards to unlock as part of the Battle Pass. As you can see from the Battle Pass trailer above, this includes the addition of Sevati ‘Sev’ Dumas as a new Operator, complete with four unlockable skins. Speaking of which, fans will also be able to unlock skins for Bayan, Maya, Bailey, Carver, Alvarez, Nazir, Stone, Rossi, and Niran.
That’s on top of new weapons, COD Points, Finishing Moves, Emblems, Sprays, Loading Screens, Emotes and lots more. These rewards are unlockable across Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Warzone will also undergo some pretty significant changes in the gameplay department, with features like Omnimovement making the jump from Black Ops 6 to Warzone.
You can check out the early Season 1 patch notes below for a closer look at some of the main changes coming to Warzone on November 14.
