Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded are expected to drop on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST. While we're still waiting on that official blog confirmation, all signs point to this date, based on the Battle Pass timer and how past mid-season updates have gone down.
Here's everything you need to know about the new update.
What's Coming in Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded?
Here are some amazing new things coming to Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded:
Two New Weapons: Olympia & Pickaxe
First up, weapons. BO6 Reloaded is bringing the heat with:
Olympia Shotgun
– Yep, the classic twin-barrel beast is back! It's a close-range king known for brutal burst damage. If you're the run-and-gun type, this is your new BFF.
Pickaxe Melee
– For the stealth assassins and chaos lovers, the Pickaxe is brutal, fast, and all about getting personal.
Both will likely be unlockable via in-game challenges or purchasable bundles.

New Multiplayer Maps: Eclipse & Fringe
Two maps are dropping:
Eclipse
– A brand-new environment built for fast-paced, close-quarter mayhem. Expect verticality, tight corners, and no room for campers.
Fringe (Remastered)
– A Black Ops 3 fan-favorite makes its return. With updated visuals and minor tweaks, it's the same iconic three-lane chaos you loved — just cleaner and more BO6-ready.
Warzone: Resurgence Ranked Is Back
Rebirth mains, rejoice. Resurgence Ranked Play is making its mid-season comeback with:
Its own ladder system
Unique progression and rewards
Skill-based matchmaking for that sweaty, yet satisfying grind
This version of Ranked is completely separate from Verdansk's, which means if Rebirth is your home, it's time to climb.
FIRST LOOK at NEW Black Ops 6 Zombies DLC Update Coming SOON...
Zombies Gets Weird (In a Good Way)
No full Zombies map this time, but two limited-time modes are spicing things up:
Starting Room Mode
– Inspired by the OG Moon map from Black Ops 1. You're locked in the starting room. No doors. No escape. Just pure survival mode. How long can you hold out?
Abomination Challenge
– A trippy boss fight set in a distorted Liberty Falls. Your mission? Hunt and destroy a jacked-up version of the Abomination. It's wild.
Season 4 Reloaded isn't just a mini update; it's a full-blown refresh. With new weapons, fresh maps, creative Zombies modes, and ranked chaos in Warzone, there's plenty to grind. And if history's anything to go by, this midseason update is gonna slap hard.

How do you make a Jurassic World movie? With these commandments
NEW YORK (AP) — If you're going to let dinosaurs run amok, it's good to have some ground rules. That's how screenwriter David Koepp saw it, anyway, in penning the script for 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' which opens in theaters July 2. Koepp wrote the original 'Jurassic Park and its 1997 sequel, 'The Lost World. But 'Rebirth,' the seventh film in the franchise, marks his return to the franchise he helped birth. And Koepp, the veteran screenwriter of 'Carlito's Way' and 'Mission: Impossible,' saw it as a chance to get a few things in order for a movie series that had perhaps strayed too far from its foundational character. Inspired by the animator Chuck Jones, Koepp decided to put down a list of nine commandments to guide 'Jurassic World Rebirth' and future installments. Jones had done something similar for the Roadrunner cartoons. His 'commandments' included things like: the Roadrunner never speaks except to say 'meep meep"; the coyote must never catch him; gravity is the coyote's worst enemy; all products come from the ACME Corporation. 'I always thought those were brilliant as a set of organizing principles,' Koepp says. 'Things become easier to write when you have that, when you have a box, when you have rules, when you agree going in: 'These we will heed by.' So I wrote my own, nine of them.' Koepp shared some — though not all of them — in a recent interview. 'I hate a retcon. I hate when they change a bunch of things: 'Oh, that didn't actually happen. It was actually his twin.' I don't like other timelines. So I thought: Let's not pretend any of the last 32 years didn't happen or happened differently than you thought. But we can say things have changed.' 'On the first movie, anyone working on the movie would get fined for referring to them as monsters. They're not monsters, they're animals. Therefore, because they're animals, their motives can only be because they're hungry or defending their territory. They don't attack because they're scary. They don't sneak up and roar because they want to scare you.' 'The tone that Steven (Spielberg) found and I helped find in that first movie is really distinctive. I haven't gotten to work on a movie with that tone since then. So to go back to that sense of high adventure, real science and humor, it was just kind of joyful.' 'And then there were a number of other rules that I would define as trade secrets. So I'll keep them to myself.'

Call of Duty current server status for June 25, 2025
Image via Activision. Is Call of Duty down right now? Let's explore the current server status for all the present games in the market. This franchise has become a staple in the world of video games, and as a result, a huge number of players still play this game regularly - be it Warzone, Black Ops 6, or Modern Warfare 3. Right now BO6 and Warzone are going through Season 4 and fans are eagerly waiting for the mid season refresh - Season 4 Reloaded. Amidst all the anticipation, the franchise has recently been hit by a massive server outage. Call of Duty experienced massive server breakdown It has been reported by many Call of Duty players that today many titles of this franchise like Black Ops 6, Warzone, Modern Warfare 3, Modern Warfare 2, and many more have been hit by a severe server outage. This outage was so drastic that it made the servers of the game go offline for close to half an hour. This was a big hit on Call of Duty HQ after Activision's decision to merge all the modern COD titles in this single app. This decision has now been slammed by the fans, as this massive outage affected all the games which are now under the same roof. Although Activision was quick to find a resolution of this situation and brought back the servers online, but it was pretty concerning keeping in mind the number of titles affected all together. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Adidas Three Shorts With 60% Discount, Limited Stock Available Original Adidas Shop Now Undo Call of Duty has previously faced a number of downtimes, like the one in April 3 in Warzone. That was actually a planned downtime in order to bring back Verdansk in the game. However, the recent 30-minute server outage wasn't in the plans and the Season 4 Reloaded update is still some days far away. That is why this recent issue raises many questions, especially security concerns behind the reason for this outage, like a DDoS attack or data leak. Another fact that makes the whole situation more cryptic is that Black Ops 4 was also reportedly affected with this server outage. Now, this title is not a part of the Call of Duty HQ app. So, fans are fearing that this server crash is not because of the heavy load on the app, there might be any other reason. As of now, all the Call of Duty games are running fine now, but as long as Activision holds the reason behind this server outage, concerns will continue to pile up.

What is Pandora's Lunchbox, and when should you use it in PEAK?
(Image via Landcrab) In the bizarre, high-stakes world of PEAK, survival demands quick thinking, and sometimes, blind luck. That's where Pandora's Lunchbox comes in. This mysterious box is equal parts chaotic and clutch. It's not your everyday tool; it's more like cracking open chaos. But in the right situation, it could be your unexpected lifeline. Here's what it is and why you should use it. What Exactly Is Pandora's Lunchbox? Pandora's Lunchbox is one of the most unpredictable items in PEAK. The moment you use it, it wipes away all negative status effects from your character. Sounds like a win, right? Well… not so fast. Right after the cleanse, the Lunchbox activates a hidden mechanic—a kind of internal "effect budget"—that randomly adds new status effects to your character. These can be: Positive boosts (like healing, energy recharge, or buffs), Negative effects (such as debuffs, weird modifiers, or fresh conditions), Or a combination of both. The number of effects ranges from none to five, with two being the average. The outcomes? Totally unpredictable. This is why YOU NEVER use Pandora's Box | PEAK So, Why Would You Use It? Despite the risk, Pandora's Lunchbox can actually be a clutch move, especially when things go south fast. 1. It Removes the Curse Debuff Got revived and stuck with a nasty Curse? You can't heal, you're constantly losing progress, and it just won't go away. The Lunchbox is currently the only known way to remove this specific debuff. If you're Cursed and don't want to burn valuable resources or die (again), popping the box could be your best shot. 2. Emergency Reset Button If you're hanging by a thread, poisoned, drained, low on health, this item can act as a full reset. In some runs, it has completely restored health and energy in one go. Is that guaranteed? Nope. But when you're already spiraling, it's worth the gamble. PEAK Trailer: OUT NOW! When Not to Use It If you're in control, fully powered, and moving smoothly through the game, maybe don't mess with it. Opening Pandora's Lunchbox when things are going well could replace your good fortune with a string of bad effects. And remember: once it's open, there's no undo button. Pandora's Lunchbox is both a blessing and a bombshell. It clears your problems, but invites new ones in. That makes it perfect for desperate moments, but risky in stable ones. If you're already sinking, take the chance. If you're soaring, maybe keep it sealed. Because in PEAK, sometimes the only way forward... is to roll the dice.
