All the content coming in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's Season 3 Reloaded update has been revealed in detail, including MW3's new Multiplayer maps and modes along with new Zombies content, Warzone's new killstreak and public event, and Warzone Mobile's Golden Week. The major Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 update arrives on May 1.

MW3's new modes include Minefield, which sees eliminated players drop a Proximity Mine upon death, and the return of Escort, which sees teams take turns escorting a robot across the map. MW3 will also receive the Enhanced Vision Goggles field upgrade, EMD Mine tactical equipment, and the Arcade playlist that features powerups like unlimited grenades and special weapon pickups like the Minigun.

MW3's Zombies mode will receive a substantial update as well that includes a story mission with a new Dark Aether Rift, where players will face hordes of enemies plus a new Disciple variant. Zombies will also add three new schematics in the Dead Wire Detonators, Golden Mask Filter, and Sergeant's Beret, as well as the new Rainmaker Warlord.
