Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 6 Goes Live September 29 With Farah and Nikolai
Your last chance to make a dent will be this week and the weekend.
Mark
So what actually changes on September 29?
Mimi
Season 6 starts for Modern Warfare and Warzone. There's a new battle pass with weapons, cosmetics and two new operators, Farah and Nikolai.
Mark
Who are they?
Mimi
Both come from the single-player campaign. Farah joins the Chimera of the Allegiance, and Nikolai leads the Chimera group and is an old friend of Captain Price.
Luke
Is the 6pm BST start time confirmed?
Mimi
Not firmly. The report says seasons typically roll out around then, but that times often change.
Mark
And the deadline for Season 5?
Mimi
This week and the weekend are the last chance to progress the old pass.
Luke
What do we actually know about the story for this season?
Mimi
Very little. Nikolai is angry and wants to stop Zakhaev, but the report admits that's all that's known.
Mark
How do players get the operators?
Mimi
Buy the Season 6 battle pass and both unlock instantly. Farah also has Operator Missions that earn extra cosmetics and rewards.
Luke
Anything about pricing or the full weapon list?
Mimi
Not in this reporting. Those details are still unstated.
Der Puls
- The Season 5 battle pass is about to expire, leaving players with only this week and the weekend to finish their progress.
- Season 6 goes live on Tuesday, September 29, with a new cinematic trailer and a fresh wave of weapons and cosmetics.
- Farah and Nikolai are unlocked instantly with the new battle pass, bringing campaign characters into Warzone.
- Exact launch times, usually around 6pm BST, may shift, so players are watching for the official confirmation.
Every season of a long-running game is a small calendar of its own, and here the calendar turns again: Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone prepare to move from Season 5 to Season 6 on Tuesday, September 29. Players who have left their Season 5 battle pass unfinished are being pulled toward a final weekend of play before it is replaced, while the new pass arrives carrying two familiar faces from the single-player campaign, Farah and Nikolai, into the battle-royale arena. It is a modest event in the wider world, but it shows how digital pastimes keep their own rhythms of deadline, reward and renewal, and how a story told in a campaign can quietly find its way into a shared, ongoing game.
Players who have been putting off the Season 5 battle pass in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone are running short of time. The season ends next week, leaving this week and the coming weekend as the last chance to make progress before the pass is replaced.
Activision has confirmed that Season 6 arrives on Tuesday, September 29, announced in a blog post alongside a new cinematic trailer. The update brings a fresh battle pass with weapons, cosmetics and two new operators: Farah, a figure from the main campaign, and Nikolai, leader of the Chimera group. Both will be familiar to anyone who played the single-player story.
Launches of this kind usually roll out around 6pm BST, though those times often shift, so the exact hour is not guaranteed. Like every battle pass operator, both are unlocked the moment a player buys the new pass. Farah's base skin is only the beginning, with further rewards available through her Operator Missions.
The seasonal narrative remains thin for now. Nikolai is described as angry about current events and determined to stop Zakhaev, whom the report casts as a villain who seems to want only to be evil. For most players, the immediate concern is simpler: finish the Season 5 pass this weekend, then turn to Season 6 when it takes over.
Players who have been putting off the Season 5 battle pass in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone are running out of time. The season ends next week, which leaves this week and the coming weekend as the last window to make progress before the pass is replaced.
Activision has announced that Season 6 goes live on Tuesday, September 29. The company made the announcement in a blog post and released a new cinematic trailer alongside it. The update brings a fresh battle pass with new weapons, cosmetics and two new operators.
The trailer shows Farah, a character from the main Modern Warfare campaign, joining the Warzone roster. She is joined by Nikolai, who leads the Chimera group. Both are familiar to anyone who played the single-player story.
Seasonal updates of this kind usually roll out at around 6pm BST. The Standard notes that those times do often change, so the exact hour on September 29 is not guaranteed.
Farah arrives following the events of the single-player campaign, and she joins the Chimera of the Allegiance. Like the other battle pass operators, she is unlocked the moment a player buys the Season 6 battle pass. Her base skin is only the start: players can earn further cosmetics and other rewards for her by completing her Operator Missions.
Nikolai is also unlocked immediately on purchase of the new pass. He leads the Chimera group and is a long-time friend of Captain Price. The seasons follow a loose narrative, and what is known of this one is thin. Nikolai is described as angry about current events and set on stopping Zakhaev, whom the report characterises as a villain who seemingly just wants to be evil.
The practical deadline is the one that matters most to current players. Anyone with an unfinished Season 5 pass has this week and the weekend to make a dent. After that, the Season 6 pass takes over on Tuesday, September 29, with Farah and Nikolai at the front of it.
