Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 starts November 6: maps, DMZ and launch times

Modern Warfare 4 players now have an exact start time for the next season. Activision has scheduled Season 1 for November 6 at 00:00 ET. On the US west coast, that means November 5 at 21:00 PT, so the date on your calendar depends on where you play.

What arrives at the season launch?

Backstab and Canyon join the multiplayer rotation alongside Shoot House. DMZ receives X01, giving extraction players another location to learn. The weapon additions include the CSG-35 SMG and Cronen Osprey assault rifle. These are separate from the modes and maps introduced during the run-up to the season.

Warzone has a separate briefing

The announcement also points to Hajin and Zodiac for Warzone as the Modern Warfare 4 integration arrives. Activision plans a dedicated Warzone briefing for November 2. That is the next official update to check before assuming how every integration feature will work; the seasonal roadmap alone is not a complete breakdown.
