MW2 & Warzone 2 Season 1 Reloaded Release Date & Time

Here’s when Call of Duty MW2 & Warzone 2 will be dropping the eagerly-awaited Season 1 Reloaded update, with new content, weapon balancing, and more!

Modern Warfare 2 is already the best-selling game of the year in the US, but the title clearly needs a lot of work. Hopefully, the Season 1 update brings some much-needed stability to the game, as well as the exciting new content Infinity Ward has in store for us.

On top of that, while Warzone 2 has been hugely successful, the Battle Royale also needs some major changes.
