On July 13, Activision laid out the roadmap for Season 5 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone, a season that opens on July 23 and carries the familiar rhythm of the franchise: new ground to cross, new tools to hold, and a return to places players already know. Across the shared worlds of multiplayer, Zombies, and Verdansk, the season adds fresh terrain and reshapes old ground, asking players to learn again what they thought they knew. Much is named and placed, yet the details of how it will feel remain for the players themselves to discover once the doors open.
Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 5 Launches July 23 With New Maps, Weapons, and Drone Labs in Verdansk
Names and placements, but not much else
Mark
So what is actually landing on July 23?
Mimi
Three multiplayer maps: Jubilee, which is new, plus remastered Frequency and Dig. Then Drone Labs in Verdansk, new Zombies content, and four weapons.
Mark
And the second half of the season?
Mimi
Turbo Tilt and Freerun: Descent, a Zombies round-based finale map, Cranked Moshpit, and the Quickdrop Kit.
Luke
Worth saying that the roadmap lists those as mid-season. No specific date is given.
Mark
Where is Drone Labs?
Mimi
East of TV Station and south of Quarry, so it fits into the existing map rather than replacing anything.
Mark
How do players get the new guns?
Mimi
The FG42 and Gremlin are in the Battle Pass. The Mammoth LMG and the Mace come through events and weekly challenges.
Luke
That split matters, but the source doesn't say how demanding those challenges are. I wouldn't assume they're easy.
Mark
Anything about how the new maps play?
Luke
No. We have names and categories, not gameplay detail. Whether this is one of the biggest updates yet is the publication's framing, not something the list proves.
El Pulso
- Season 5 goes live July 23, and the roadmap is already crowded with maps, weapons, and modes.
- Jubilee arrives as the only wholly new multiplayer map on day one, while Frequency and Dig return in remastered form.
- Drone Labs slides into Verdansk between TV Station and Quarry, reshaping the Warzone map and its killstreak options.
- Four new weapons arrive, but two are earned through the Battle Pass and two through events and weekly challenges.
- Several major pieces, including Turbo Tilt, Freerun: Descent, a Zombies finale map, and the Quickdrop Kit, are held back for mid-season and have no set dates yet.

On July 13, Activision published the roadmap for Season 5 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone. The season goes live July 23, and it arrives with a long list: new maps, new weapons, a new location in Verdansk, fresh Zombies content, and a Battle Pass led by a character called Spectre.
Multiplayer opens with three maps. Jubilee is the only brand-new one, while Frequency and Dig return as remasters. Turbo Tilt and Freerun: Descent follow mid-season. Overdrive Domination and Gauntlet Rush are available at launch, Cranked Moshpit waits for the midseason update, and Ranked Play returns with new rewards.
Zombies brings Eidskallen Lighthouse as a new Survival map, a Directed Mode called Kowakujō, and three playlists for Rogue Run: Astra Malorum. A round-based finale map is planned for mid-season, alongside a perk, a GobbleGum, and two Legacy Weapons.
In Warzone, Drone Labs appears east of TV Station and south of Quarry, with the HKDs Killstreak and Ranked Play: Resurgence. The Quickdrop Kit is scheduled for mid-season.
Four weapons arrive across the season. The FG42 and Gremlin SMG are Battle Pass unlocks, while the Mammoth LMG and Mace come through events and weekly challenges. The Battle Pass offers Operator skins, blueprints, and cosmetics, and BlackCell subscribers receive extras including the Cipher Operator and a Mastercraft Weapon Blueprint.
The roadmap offers names and placements but little detail on how Jubilee or Drone Labs will play, and no dates within the season for the mid-season drop. What comes after July 23 will settle those questions.
On July 13, Activision published the roadmap for Season 5 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone, and the date at the top of it is July 23. That is when the season goes live, and the list of what arrives with it is long: new maps, new weapons, a new location in Verdansk, fresh Zombies content, and a Battle Pass built around a character called Spectre.
Start with multiplayer. Three maps are there on day one. Jubilee is the only brand-new one. The other two are remasters: Frequency and Dig. Two more follow mid-season. Turbo Tilt is new, and Freerun: Descent joins it. Limited-time modes round out the picture. Overdrive Domination and Gauntlet Rush are available at launch, while Cranked Moshpit waits for the mid-season update. Ranked Play also returns this season, with a new set of rewards attached.
Zombies gets its own block of content. The new Survival map is Eidskallen Lighthouse. There is a Directed Mode called Kowakujō, and three playlists for Rogue Run: Astra Malorum. A new round-based finale map is planned for mid-season. Players also get a perk, Widow's Wine, a new GobbleGum, and two Legacy Weapons.
In Warzone, Verdansk grows. The new point of interest is Drone Labs, which sits east of TV Station and south of Quarry. Alongside it comes the HKDs Killstreak, and Ranked Play: Resurgence. The Quickdrop Kit is scheduled for mid-season rather than launch.
Four weapons arrive across the season, and how you get them differs. The FG42 Assault Rifle and the Gremlin SMG are Battle Pass unlocks. The Mammoth LMG and the Mace melee weapon come through events and weekly challenges, so they depend on play rather than on the pass.
The Battle Pass is led by Spectre and includes new Operator skins, weapon blueprints, and cosmetics. Subscribers to BlackCell get extras on top: the Cipher Operator, a Mastercraft Weapon Blueprint, and additional cosmetic variants.
The roadmap gives names and placements but not much else. It does not describe how Jubilee or Drone Labs will play, and it gives no dates within the season for the mid-season drop. What to watch: when that second wave of Turbo Tilt, Freerun: Descent, the Zombies finale map, Cranked Moshpit, and the Quickdrop Kit actually lands after July 23.
