Activision has confirmed that Thursday, May 29 will mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Call of Duty fans with the simultaneous launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4. The highly anticipated update will see the return of fan-favorite character Vikhor 'Stitch' Kuzmin from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, bringing fresh narrative developments to both game modes.

The recent Season 3 Outro Cinematic teaser trailer released by Treyarch on May 15 has already set the stage for Season 4's storyline. Following the discovery of Pantheon codenames, Russell Adler and his Rogue Black Ops team have a chance to clear their names - but they'll need help from the incarcerated Stitch, currently held at the high-security Camp Zeta in Iceland. The teaser suggests Adler's prison break attempt will be a central plot point.

What to Expect in Season 4

While Activision hasn't officially detailed all Season 4 content, reliable leaks suggest several exciting additions:

• Returning fan-favorite weapons from previous Call of Duty titles
• New multiplayer maps and Warzone locations
• Stitch as a playable operator with updated character design
• Potential gameplay mechanic revivals (including possible wall-running features)

The official Call of Duty Twitter account confirmed Stitch's involvement on May 19, four days after the initial teaser dropped. His updated visual design appears tailored for Black Ops 6's early 90s setting while maintaining the character's distinctive appearance from Cold War.

Current In-Game Events

Before Season 4 launches, players still have time to participate in the extended High Art event running until May 22. This limited-time event offers:

• Free reward track with XP-based unlocks
• Premium upgrade option (1,100 COD Points) for additional rewards

With the return of a beloved antagonist, new gameplay content, and ongoing narrative developments, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 promises to deliver one of the most significant updates of 2025. The May 29 launch date gives players just enough time to wrap up current seasonal content before diving into fresh challenges.
