LATEST - The Update Is Actually Out Now
Treyarch has opted to abandon their usual Thursday slot for updates and push out the Season 2 Reloaded update for Black Ops Cold War a little earlier in the week.
If you didn't manage to preload the update, it went live at 00:00 EST / 05:00 BST on March 30th.

This is a little earlier than the usual Thursday at 13:00 EST / 18:00 BST time slot that Treyarch often opts for when updating their title.
This means that we could still be waiting for a full playlist update and in-store bundle refresh. The Black Ops Cold War store refreshes daily at the same time, 13:00 EST / 18:00 BST, so it might be worth checking back then for a few more Weapon Blueprint and Operator Bundles.
Preloading Is Live
It has been reported over the last twenty-four hours that preloading for Black Ops Cold War's next major update is here.
If you're on a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, you should be able to initiate and begin downloading the Season 2 Reloaded update for Black Ops Cold War ahead of its release.

What is interesting is that some people are suggesting that Season 2 Reloaded will begin on March 30th at 00:00 EST / 05:00 BST.
With every past Call of Duty update coming out on a Thursday, this seems wholly unlikely and we are expecting this earlier installation is just there to allow for a smooth addition of the content on Thursday in the regular update slot.
Release Date & Time
The next major update for Black Ops Cold War, Season 2 Reloaded, is due on April 1st and should go live around 18:00 GMT / 14:00 ET.
As with previous seasons, we are expecting pre-loading to be made available. However, there is currently no news as to when this will go live.

We will make sure we keep things updates as-and-when more information is revealed.
New Operators
Wolf and Rivas, who both feature in the Black Ops Cold War Season 2 Cinematic Trailer seen below, are both due to be added to Black Ops Cold War and Warzone in the coming update.
We don't know for certain how much their Operator Bundles will cost, but based on previous mid-season Operators, we're expecting them to be 2,400 COD Points.

In a similar fashion to Maxis' introduction in Week 2 of Season 2, we are expecting one new Operator to join the store with next week's update and another to join a week later in the store refresh.
New Maps
There are three new multiplayer maps coming to Black Ops Cold War in the next major update and we have a brief look at what to expect below.

Miami Strike, a smaller day-time variant of Miami, is coming to all 6v6 playlists.
Mansion is joining Gunfight and Face-Off as the next new small-scale multiplayer map.
Finally, Golova, which you might have seen in Outbreak, is joining the Multi-Team playlist map rotations.
Playlist Updates
We don't know just yet all of the Playlist updates coming to Black Ops Cold War in the next update as they are mostly independent of the upcoming content additions.

Each week, there is a refresher and playlists are rotated on both Zombies and Multiplayer for Black Ops Cold War.
That being said, we do know the following thanks to Treyarch on Twitter:
New Outbreak Content?
Outbreak was, and is, a smash hit amongst Treyarch's COD Zombies and the next Black Ops Cold War update is bringing another map into rotation.
The long-awaited Fireteam map, Sanatorium, is being added to Outbreak with a little twist. It's going to be dark!
That's right, Sanatorium (Night) is coming to Black Ops Cold War Zombies Oubtreak in the next major update: Season 2 Reloaded.
The question we want to know is, can Manglers swim?
In addition to this, changes to how Weapon Blueprints work in Outbreak are coming! You can now apply any owned weapon blueprint to your gun at any time.
