When is season 1 likely to release?
Until now, Activision has kept the precise timings regarding the release date of the first season of MW3 under wraps. We know this will happen in early December, and based on last year’s MW2 schedules, we think that will likely mean the first week of December. A full review of the first season is still planned, and when it is live we will be sure to update this page.
Modern Warfare 3 is now available in all regions and is currently offering its collection of pre-season content. What this means for players is that there is no dedicated Battle Pass, although this is all set to change in the coming weeks.
MW3 The first season will add new maps and modes, as well as some core updates to the ongoing Zombies mode. This is excellent news, given that Modern Warfare 3 The map list at launch primarily features remastered versions of 2009 maps. War zone fans also have something to look forward to, as a brand new map called Urzikstan is on the way. It’s regular updates like these that have kept the game in our best battle royale list all year.
Although we have not yet received MW3 Season One Release Date, We Know What Will Be Included. Here’s what to expect, including a look at the three new maps, the Zombies update, and more.
