Call of Duty: Modern Warfarehas seen five seasons of content, and it is about to see its sixth. A new cinematic has been released to promote Season 6 ofModern Warfare, featuring new operators and teasing a new playable area inCall of Duty Warzone.
Set to begin September 29th, season 6 will placeModern Warfarecampaign protagonist Farah front and center. Manyfans have wanted Farah as aModern Warfareoperatorin online modes for some time now, so seeing her join the lineup of selectable characters should prove a welcome addition. Nikolai, Captain Price’s lawbreaking associate, will also be one of the Season 6 operators when it arrives at the end of the month.

The trailer showcases Farah and Nikolai stealthily retaking a subway station, immediately drawing attention to aWarzoneleak from last month. The leak showed subway stations as part of the Verdansk map, and sure enough, the overhead view of theWarzoneplay area all but confirms a subway system in the next season ofModern Warfarecontent. The subway seems to be fairly expansive based on the trailer, so it should mix up the gameplay of Warzone quite a bit.
With the trailer description “take to the tunnels,” the main focus seems to be getting placed on this map addition. If players only focus on this map change and the appearance of the campaign characters Farah and Nikolai, they may not notice the next weapon coming to the game. While it is not quite theMP7 and ACR addition requested by pro players, the AS Val assault rifle can be seen in the cinematic and on Farah’s shoulder in the Season 6 promotional image at the end of the trailer.
The trailer also features a voiceover from Captain Price, as well as the cast of characters discussing taking out antagonist Imran Zakhaev. As the original antagonist ofCall of Duty 4and the villain set up as part of the ongoing Spec Ops andWarzonenarrative, when the protagonists will kill Zakhaev is unclear. It may occur in a final cinematic at the end of the season or it could be saved forModern Warfare’s sequel. It could always happen in a DLC spec ops mission, too, though that seems unlikely given that players aredeleting Spec Ops mode to make storage spaceforModern Warfare’s huge updates.
With Season 6 on the way, now is the perfect time for those interested to jump intoModern Warfare. If players act fast they can get the game for cheap, as an ongoingActivision Blizzard sale includesModern WarfareandOverwatch.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
