What’s New in Season 2 Reloaded?
🧟 Zombies — Paradox Junction
Zombies fans finally get a brand-new map — Paradox Junction, an expanded version of Nuketown Zombies set within the Dark Aether. Wield the Blundergat Wonder Weapon and its upgraded elemental variant, the Sundergat, battle Rad-Hounds, and explore two different versions of Nuketown across time. International Business Times
🔫 Multiplayer — 5 New Maps
Season 2 Reloaded expands the BO7 multiplayer map roster with five additions: Torque, Cliff Town (remaster of Yemen), Mission: Peak, Grind, and Firing Range. Steam
🪂 Warzone — Black Ops Royale
Black Ops Royale is a brand-new Blackout-inspired mode set on a revamped Avalon map. Matches feature 100 players in four-player squads — and it strips away custom loadouts, the Gulag, cash systems, and Buy Stations entirely. Players start with a pistol and scavenge everything.
Black Ops Royale isn’t replacing standard Warzone modes — Verdansk, Haven’s Hollow, and Rebirth Island all remain available.
