Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 3 starts 8 April following free weekend

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 will start on Wednesday 8th April, Activision and Infinity Ward have announced.

The announcement was made on Twitter with a teaser image, appearing to show new operators for the upcoming third season.

The game’s third season is expected to bring new operators, maps, game modes and a new Battle Pass - with details expected relatively soon.

If you haven’t yet tried Modern Warfare, you can play the game’s multiplayer for free this weekend through Call of Duty: Warzone.

You can get free access to Modern Warfare multiplayer from Friday 3rd April at 6pm GMT time, which ends at 6pm GMT on 6th April.

From Warzone’s lobby, you’ll be able to access the Stocked Up, Locked Down 24/7 playlist - which features maps Atlas Superstore and Shoot House. Game modes available are Team Deathmatch, Domination and Hardpoint.

Progress from the free weekend will also carry over if you decide to purchase the full game, so it’s not an entirely frivolous effort.

There's been a whole load of Call of Duty to dive into recently, with Modern Warfare 2 Remastered released this week which offers a revamped version of the single-player campaign.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 3 kicks off 8th April 2020.
