Warzone, Here’s What It Would Be Like

A teaser for Season 5 of Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 6 has been released, and with it, the potential confirmation that Avalon is finally coming to the free-to-play spin-off. The new Call of Duty: Warzone season is expected to arrive in the first week of August, meaning players don’t have that much longer of a wait ahead of them.

Frank Woods, Russell Adler, and Sevati Dumas are front and center in the Season 5 teaser, with Avalon being the centerpiece. Theories and discussions about whether Avalon is the next Warzone map or not have continued to buzz through the community since October of last year, and this teaser now gives a lot of weight to those long-running theories. Avalon was a major setting in Black Ops 6, and it would finally present the opportunity to build a bridge between it and Warzone. If Season 5 does indeed bring Avalon into the mix, there are a few things that are to be expected.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Could Mark a New Era For Warzone

Warzone has had to adapt to many CoD entries over the years, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 may mark a thematic turning point for the battle royale.

What to Expect From Call of Duty: Warzone’s Potential Avalon Map

The rumors of Avalon first started last year when it was discovered that a map of the region could be found when using Black Ops 6‘s Theater Mode. A birds-eye-view screenshot of Avalon offers a solid idea of what’s in store for players if the location ever becomes part of the Warzone map rotation.

Avalon’s POIs Promise a Solid Amount of Location Diversity

Based on the picture that has been circulating for months, it’s easy to realize that there’s a solid blend of water-centric locations and land-based areas, like Golf Course and Black Ops 4‘s Hacienda. There are definitely more water-based locations, which may be divisive for some players, but each POI is an intriguing setting. Season 5 has been teasing more than maps, but the potential for Avalon to premiere after months of speculation could be a thrilling way to shake up gameplay.

Recently, some Warzone players have been hoping for a new map. Whether it’s the return of vaulted maps or a brand-new one, there is a solid chunk of vocal Warzone fans who have desired more frequent map rotations. Of course, the Avalon tease may just be a red herring, but that could be a risky move. The topic of Avalon has been hotly debated, and it would be frustrating for many fans if the map was merely teased, just for it to not actually come to fruition in Season 5.

Season 5 Could Be Setting the Stage for Black Ops 7

• Black Ops 7 is expected to launch in the fall.
• It has been confirmed that much of the story will take place in Japan and Avalon.

Black Ops 7 is directly tied to both Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 2, and because of that, Avalon plays a large role in the story. To gear players up for the eventual arrival of Black Ops 7, it would only make sense for Avalon to be part of Season 5, so it could serve as an appetizer for the next Black Ops chapter.

Of course, it remains to be seen if Avalon will finally make its way to Warzone, but it seems quite possible. As the wait for Black Ops 7 grows shorter, it will be fascinating to see if Warzone is used as a way to help promote the upcoming entry’s story via Avalon.
