As for the seasonal runtime, we anticipate it will mirror Season 1, lasting around 70 days, or just over two months. With that much time ahead of us, let's dive into the content we might expect in Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Black Ops 6 Season 2 New Content and Features
First off, it's important to note that the full content for Season 2 hasn't been revealed yet, so we’ll base our expectations on the trends from Season 1 as well as previous seasons in other Call of Duty titles.
New Battle Pass in BO6 Season 2
A new Battle Pass will likely be introduced in Season 2, bringing with it a wealth of exciting content, including weapon skins, operators, tokens, and potentially new, exclusive weapons that can only be unlocked via the Battle Pass.
It will probably follow the same format as before, offering both a free and paid track. The free track will grant players access to the core content, while the paid track will likely feature special skins and items for those looking to show off their premium pass.
New Content and Events in Season 2 of BO6
Season 1 saw the hugely popular Squid Game event, and Treyarch will likely follow up with another event in Season 2. This event could be themed around popular TV shows, films, or other media that align with the Call of Duty universe. While we don't yet know which event it will be, it’s almost certain that we’ll see something new.
These events usually come with exclusive weapon skins, new operators, and additional rewards for players to earn while participating. Expect a new game mode exclusive to the event as well, much like how Squid Game introduced the Red Light - Green Light mode. It's safe to assume Season 2 will feature another unique mode tied to its event or collaboration.
Speaking of game modes, we can also expect the return of popular modes to the base game in Season 2, which will likely be added to the playlist. With such a broad list of possible modes, it's anyone's guess what we'll get, but it's nearly guaranteed that new maps will accompany these modes, whether for the regular playlist or Zombies.
Gameplay and Performance Improvements in Season 2
While fans are excited for new content, the most anticipated changes for many are improvements to gameplay and performance. Players are eager for fixes to bugs, as well as improvements to the anti-cheat system, which is currently struggling with cheaters flooding the lobbies.
If Activision and Treyarch can address these issues, the overall reception for Season 2 will likely be much more positive. Adding in all the expected content, along with new challenges and goals to strive for, Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 could go down as a memorable one.
