As we near the midpoint of Season 1 in Warzone and Black Ops 7, the upcoming Season 1 Reloaded update is on the horizon. Activision typically divides its seasons into two parts to keep players engaged, and this year’s Call of Duty installment follows suit.
While Black Ops 7 is currently receiving the spotlight, Warzone is also set to benefit from Season 1 Reloaded. This ensures that even free-to-play fans won’t be left out in the cold this January.
Here’s a breakdown of what Season 1 Reloaded has in store for Call of Duty Warzone, covering details such as the pre-load size, timing, and the content players can anticipate.
Season 1 Reloaded is scheduled to kick off on January 8, 2026. Updates for Call of Duty typically roll out around 5PM GMT, so players can expect the update to go live tomorrow afternoon.
For those eager to download the Season 1 Reloaded update for Warzone promptly, it’s advisable to start the process now to minimize downtime. Initial reports suggest that the update could be as large as 174GB for certain Battle.net users, though this can vary based on the number of Call of Duty titles installed.
Fortunately, the game is unlikely to occupy the full amount of storage space once installed, as excess files are usually cleared out post-installation.
Despite this, the substantial download size may cause delays for players with slower internet connections on launch day.
Details regarding the specific changes coming to Warzone in Season 1 Reloaded remain scarce. However, Black Ops 7 will introduce two new weapons and three attachments, which are expected to transition to the Battle Royale mode. These additions can be unlocked through seasonal event challenges.
Additionally, three new weapon attachments are on the way, requiring completion of weekly challenges to access them.
One confirmed crossover feature coming to both Warzone and Black Ops 7 is the Fallout collaboration. A trailer featuring characters from Amazon’s Fallout TV show hints at the introduction of character models for use in Warzone.
These new additions are likely to be available in the in-game store shortly after the launch of Season 1 Reloaded.
