When Is Warzone & Cold War Season 5?

An official release date for Season 5 has not been set by Treyarch Studios or Raven Software yet, but it will likely start on Thursday, August 12th. This is because the current Season 4 Battle Pass countdown is due to end on that week, and new Call of Duty seasons always begin on a Thursday.

Fans can expect a brand new Battle Pass filled with new cosmetics, COD points and more. There are also plenty of rumors circulating that the official reveal of Call of Duty: Vanguard will take place inside of Warzone during Season 5. This is expected to be similar to when Black Ops Cold War was revealed in Warzone back in 2020.

Leaks Reveal Cover Art, Operator and New SMG

A new leak that originated on Reddit has revealed the cover art for Warzone and Cold War Season 5. Check out the tweet below, courtesy of CallofDutyLeakz, to see the new cover art image.

Although CallofDutyLeakz noted that they cannot confirm the legitimacy of the leak, fellow Call of Duty leaker and data miner Nanikos revealed that is in fact real.

The leaked image for Season 5 not only reveals a first look at a new Operator, but also the arrival of the Tec-9 SMG. A weapon that has never been seen in a Call of Duty game before.

The arrival of the Tec-9 SMG would fit the storyline of Black Ops Cold War perfectly as the real-life weapon was first produced in 1984. One question fans are sure to have though, will it become the new meta? We'll have to wait for Season 5 of Warzone and Cold War to kick-off before we find out.
