When Does MW3 Season 5 Reloaded Come Out?

The next major COD update is on the horizon

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (CoD: MW3) and Warzone Season 5 is in full swing following the update released in late July. However, some fans might already be looking ahead to the Season 5 Reloaded update in MW3, which isn’t too far away.

What’s the Release Date for MW3 Season 5 Reloaded?

While Activision has yet to officially confirm anything regarding Season 5 Reloaded, we know it’s planned to be released during the season’s halfway point. This unofficial confirmation comes from the Season 5 roadmap featuring content that’s going to come out “in-season” and there’s a “Classified” tab currently taking up space in the Battle Pass.

The Classified tab always contains new content from the seasonal reloaded update. The tab also features a countdown timer, similar to the one that indicates when the current season is going to end. This countdown timer indicates when the reloaded update is planned to arrive. Currently, the Classified tab is set to unlock in 22 days, which means Season 5 Reloaded is likely going to come out on Wednesday, July 21 in MW3.

Of course, things could still change between now and the planned release date for Season 5 Reloaded. Delays happen and Activision doesn’t confirm anything until roughly one week prior to any major update launching. However, all of MW3‘s Reloaded updates have been on time up until now, so there’s little reason to believe Season 5 Reloaded will be delayed in any way.
