Players are already looking ahead to what MW3 Season 4 could have in store for them. With this in mind, here’s everything we know about Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 so far, including the release date and the leaked return of classic weapons.

Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 was one of the biggest content drops yet, before even more arrived in the Reloaded mid-season update. But with Season 4 next up on the horizon, players are wondering what the update will have in store, and a few details have already emerged.

So, here’s everything we know about MW3 Season 4 so far, including the expected release date and the leaked return of some iconic weapons.

MW3 Season 4 release date

Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 will begin on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, as confirmed by the in-game Battle Pass timer. Although this hasn’t been officially confirmed by the devs, seasons in Call of Duty tend to last for eight weeks, with a Reloaded update after four weeks, so this lines up since Season 3 kicked off on April 3.

Of course, plans could easily change between now and then, so we’ll update this section with more details once we know more.

MW3 Season 4 weapons leaked

The new weapons for MW3 Season 4 are yet to be revealed, but following the release of the MW3 Season 3 update, dataminers uncovered files mentioning the iconic Kar98k and SPAS-12. Players will remember the Kar98k as the Rifle that dominated the early days of Warzone, while the SPAS-12 was the go-to Shotgun in the original MW2.

The leak didn’t reveal when the classic guns would be added, but given that the full lineup of weapons for Season 3 have already arrived, the Season 4 update is the next available opportunity. However, take this with a pinch of salt until it’s confirmed by the devs.

MW3 Season 4 crossovers leaked

When the MW3 Season 3 Reloaded update went live, dataminers discovered files that hint at a number of major collaborations that could arrive in Season 4. This includes a crossover with Fallout following the breakout success of the Amazon TV show, leaving fans hopeful of characters from the series arriving as Operators, such as Lucy, The Goul, or Maximus.

The other properties mentioned were Gundam and The Crow, the latter of which would likely tie in with the reboot due to hit theaters in August 2024.

MW3 Season 4 expected content

Although Sledgehammer Games are yet to reveal their plans for MW3 Season 4, each major update usually comes with similar content. With this in mind, here’s everything we’re expecting to see:

  • New weapons
  • Battle Pass
  • 6v6 maps
  • Weapon buffs and nerfs
  • New Operators
  • Ground War maps
  • Events
  • New Killstreaks
  • New Perks and Equipment

That was everything we know about Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 so far. We’ll be refreshing this page with all the latest announcements ahead of the update, so check back to stay up to date.
