When does the mid-season update drop?
Vanguard's Season One Reloaded update has arrived and it's chock-full of Zombies content. If you're a Vanguard player, you can find all the information you need about the Patch Notes here.
If you're looking for Warzone's Patch Notes, you'll be pleased to know you haven't missed them just yet. The update itself hasn't arrived yet - however, this isn't out of the ordinary. Raven Software always release their scheduled update a bit later than the main Call of Duty title.
With this in mind, we should see the update arrive at the following times:
- 21:00 PST - January 12th
- 00:00 EST - January 13th
- 05:00 GMT - January 13th
With any luck, some Patch Notes should pop up around the same time. Keep your eyes on Raven Software on social media for more.
What are we expecting?
At the moment, it's hard to say what we're going to get from Warzone's next major update. There are a lot of issues with the game itself, so it's hard to pinpoint balancing problems that need addressing.
Warzone itself needs addressing - the visual bugs and performance issues need addressing long before any more balancing changes. With any luck, Raven Software's QA can reach an agreement with Activision and get back to work helping Warzone return to a playable state.
For now, though, the Season One Reloaded Patch Notes remain a mystery - we'll update you with any changes coming to Warzone when they're mentioned, but keep an eye on RavenSoftware on social media for anything official when it's announced.
