Rumors have been swirling for months that theCall of Duty: Warzonebattle royale map is due for some significant changes. Nothing official has been announced to date, but the latest rumors suggest that radical changes are coming as part ofCall of Duty: WarzoneSeason 5.
If theWarzoneSeason 4 Battle Passis any indication, Season 5 will start in early August. And according to sources speaking to VGC, Season 5 will bring with it some big changes to the map. As part of Activision’s effort to alignWarzonewithCall of Duty 2020, the game will see a number ofBlack Ops-themed changes. It will also see Stadium open up for players to explore the interior, and the addition of anApex Legends-style “loot-filled train” that will move around the map.

All of this has been previously leaked by dataminers, fromStadium opening upto the loot train. Considering this, it does seem more likely than not that this content is indeed coming with the bigWarzoneSeason 5 update that’s on the horizon. However, it’s still possible that Activision’s plans will change, or that this information is incorrect or being misinterpreted in some way. So even though there’s a lot of evidence in support of Stadium opening up and the loot train coming, fans should still take all of this with a grain of salt.
After all, previous rumors aboutCall of Duty: Warzonemap changes haven’t exactly panned out. Before everyone was focused on Stadium opening up, they were convinced thatDam would be destroyedas part ofWarzoneSeason 3 or 4. However, both of those seasons arrived without any major changes to the battle royale map. So it’s understandable if someWarzonefans are hesitant to get their hopes up about the loot train or Stadium opening.
In the meantime, someWarzonefans may be wondering exactly what kind ofBlack Opscontent is making its way to the game, but unfortunately, has yet to be revealed. However, dataminers have found files for the RC-XD killstreak inWarzone, and the game appears to be currently hinting at thedebut ofBlack Opscharacter Frank Woods. Whether or not any of that comes to pass remains to be seen, but fans should find out within the next couple of months or so.
