The highly anticipated fifth season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on August 7, 2025. Despite the growing excitement around Black Ops 7, Activision continues to support the current installment with fresh content, keeping the player base engaged. As Season 4 draws to a close, the community eagerly awaits what Season 5 has in store.

Season 4 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone has been met with mixed reactions. While Season 3 was widely praised, the latest update faced criticism for numerous bugs, crashes, intrusive advertisements, and unpopular gameplay tweaks. Fans have dubbed it a 'disaster,' raising concerns about whether Season 5 can restore the game's former glory.

Activision recently confirmed via Twitter that Season 5 will introduce the return of fan-favorite operator Sims, showcased wielding the M249 SAW. This LMG was previously teased in a Season 5 trailer, and its inclusion in the official key art has solidified its comeback. Players can expect this powerful weapon to shake up the meta upon release.

Treyarch dropped a cryptic nine-second teaser hinting at a new Zombies map, a welcome addition after Season 4's lack of content for the mode. Given Black Ops 7's impending release, this might be the final major update for Black Ops 6's Zombies experience. While details remain scarce, the community anticipates more information soon.
