Call of Duty players have been waiting for Warzone to catch up with Black Ops 7. The integration has not been officially dated, but the consensus from the roadmap and community signals points to the Season 1 window predicted for December 4, 2025. When that drop lands, it will bring Black Ops 7 weapons, movement, and map changes into Warzone.
Timing and what to expect
The developer has not posted a one-line date for integration. That said, the pattern from previous launch points to a Season 1 reset as the trigger. Black Ops 7 Season 1 is being treated as the big push for new content. For players wanting exact release and preload times ,consult the Black Ops 7 Season 1 release times and preload info.
Core changes to gameplay landing in Warzone
Details published on the Call of Duty blog explain how Black Ops 7’s movement changes affect Warzone. Movement will feel faster across the board because baseline operator speed is increased and there is no default Tac Sprint. Perks will return control over enhanced movement. For example, the Mountaineer Perk gives Combat Roll while the Sprinter Perk restores Tactical Sprint. Weapons will have fewer attachment slots and Wildcards are removed. The update also adds new Tools and Abilities that change how fights play out. The blog is the primary breakdown of those changes and remains the clearest developer source on the mechanics.

New Resurgence map – Haven’s Hollow
Warzone will gain a smaller Resurgence map called Haven’s Hollow. It is a compact arena aimed at faster matches and more close quarters play. The map includes these named points of interest
- Coal Depot
- Homestead
- Lumbermill
- Main Street
- Mansion
- Pond
- Research Center
- Riverboat
- Train Station
New Verdansk POIs and other map tweaks
Verdansk is also receiving updates. Two new POIs have been highlighted during the integration. Signal Station sits near Military Base and Factory is a callback inspired by the old Verdansk 84 layout. Expect these to be stitched into the existing rotation alongside the usual Resurgence and Battle Royale maps.
Mastery camos and the grind
The integration will bring new Mastery camos into Warzone. Players can look forward to Golden Damascus, Starglass, Absolute Zero, and Apocalypse camo challenges. The developer has not published the full challenge list yet. Those details will be posted when the official camo challenges go live.
Warzone has felt quiet in place,s and the studio has said it recognizes that. Black Ops 7 brings a fresh ruleset and map design that are aimed at moving player behavior away from overly long melee and camping loops. The combination of movement changes, attachments, limits, and new POIs is designed to nudge the meta without rewriting it completely. If you want a deeper look at Black Ops 7 systems that feed into Warzone the Black Ops 7 co op campaign and unified progression explained piece goes into endgame and progression that tie the titles together.
Expect developers to iterate after launch. Live service games always need small tuning passes after a big integration, and players should keep an eye on post-launch notes that refine gun movement and spawns.
