The upcoming Season 1 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone is set to deliver a substantial wave of new content, giving players plenty of reasons to jump back into the action. Arriving tomorrow, this mid-season update builds on the foundation of Season 1 by expanding multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone with fresh maps, weapons, events, and gameplay tweaks.

Activision has yet to deliver all the deets to players but one of the biggest focuses of Season 1 Reloaded is multiplayer. Players can expect new and returning maps that balance fast-paced combat with the classic Call of Duty design. 

Fight across sky-high rooftops, nuclear facilities, and tight-quarters distillery lanes in the Season 01 Reloaded update of #BlackOps7 Multiplayer on January 8 👇

According to the official Call of Duty X account, two fan favorite multiplayer maps will return, Fringe and Meltdown. A new map that is being added is Yakei featuring close quarter combat up on the rooftops in a high-rise city setting. These additions are designed to refresh the standard rotation while also appealing to longtime fans who enjoy familiar locations reimagined with modern mechanics and visuals. Alongside the maps, new modes and playlist updates aim to keep matches feeling varied and competitive.

Two new weapons will also be added to the game called the Hawker HX a sniper rifle resembling the Ballista from Black Ops 2 and the Sturmwolf 45 a submachine gun resembling the UMP45. New attachments for weapons include the Coda 9 Adaptive Discharge Mod, M8A1 Full Auto Conversion, and MCP-25 Contrabloom Laser, which unlock through weekly challenges.

Classic equipment and scorestreaks from Black Ops 6 are being carried over, including items like Shock Charge, Impact Grenade, Thermal Grenade, and Tactical Insertion. Several scorestreaks from Black Ops 6 will be returning, such as Archangel Launcher, Combat Bow, Death Machine, Dreadnought, Grim Reaper, SAM Turret, Strategic Bomber, and War Machine.

Zombies will also be seeing some changes in this update. The Zarya Cosmodrome location from Ashes of the Damned will now become a Survival map and a directed mode will be added to the Astra Malorum map to help guide players to complete the main story quest. 

The campaign surprisingly will be getting two new world events. The Wraith Wing world event will feature an advanced Guild aircraft that has cloning abilities. Players must disable the clones and destroy the aircraft to succeed at the mission.

Microsoft is combining the two of the most popular gaming franchises Call of Duty and Fallout together for a Fallout Season 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 crossover event. However there are not many details about this crossover event. Call of Duty released a short teaser trailer which shows what seem to be silhouettes of characters from the hit Amazon Original TV series Fallout. These characters are The Ghoul, Lucy and Maximus and it is uncertain if these characters will be voiced by the actors that play them Walton Goggins as The Ghoul, Ella Purnell as Lucy and Aaron Moten as Maximus. 

The Season 1 Reloaded update is coming to Black Ops 7 and Warzone on January 8 on all platforms.
