Warzone Season 5 has been delayed only a few short hours before its intended release. We now have the exact time and date of release for you, and unfortunately, it's not tomorrow (like we originally thought).

We thought this might be the case for a few hours since Call of Duty changed the banner on their own site from 'Coming Thursday' to 'Coming This Week'. But now it's been officially confirmed. As they shared on Twitter:

At least they gave us that cool trailer of what new things will be in the Battle Pass. I mean, I would rather just get the content on time. But it's still something.

You'll notice they're really pushing the M82 with that new skin we can see in the trailer. And we already got a new skin for M82 last season. Clearly, the devs want to break the Kar/Swiss aggressive sniper meta. It's never going to happen.

Why Is Warzone Season 5 Delayed?

While the devs have claimed that this is to give us an extra day to complete the Battle Pass, Warzone Season 5 will likely have been delayed because one of the new Season's features is causing an exploitable bug. This is how every Season & Midseason event goes in Warzone. They tease a new feature, they release the new feature, people find out how to abuse the new feature, and so they remove the new feature. Just like clockwork. So, at least this time they might actually get the update fixed before releasing it.

The New Time & Date Of Warzone Season 5's Release

Warzone Season 5 will be released on Friday, August 13 at 00:00 ET (05:00 BST, 06:00 CEST). This is indeed exactly 24 hours after the normal Seasonal release, so at least it's only a very short delay.

We look forward to seeing you Friday morning, let's see if the new EM2 is going to be as broken as MG 82 was!
