What time does Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone season 2 start and what's in the Battle Pass?

Black Ops 6 season two features five new multiplayer maps and several new modes - (Activision-Blizzard)

Season two of Black Ops 6 and Warzone is about to unleash a new Battle Pass and a raft of new maps, modes and events to blast through.

There’s a threadbare plot that connects the multiplayer action (something about warring crime families) but that doesn’t really matter. It’s just an excuse for players to shoot heads off while dressed as ninjas and cyborgs.

Speaking of which, there’s an upcoming event inspired by The Terminator that requires you to collect skulls in return for weapon mods and blueprints. And, just in time for the bullet-riddled festivities, Arnie’s monosyllabic robot assassin is coming back to the store.

The other big outfits this season are Nocturne and Vortex, two armour-clad executioners who wouldn’t look out of place in Destiny.

Excited? Read on to find out when the new season kicks off and what to expect.
