What is the exact release time for Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific and Call of Duty: Vanguard Season One?

With Call of Duty: Warzone officially becoming Warzone Pacific with its new Pacific Coast Caldera map, this Season XNUMX update will look nothing like the previous ones. With so much brand new content, the game will be inactive for a period of time to undergo this transition, but will play into a new era of Warzone a few hours later. Here's when to expect the release of Warzone Pacific and Call of Duty: Vanguard Season One.

Call of Duty: Vanguard season XNUMX release time

For those anticipating Call of Duty: Vanguard, an update will be available for pre-download on December 6 at 21 p.m. PT and at 00 a.m. ET, as the content provided will be ready to play on December 00 at 00 a.m. 8 PT and 09 noon ET. Right now, players can expect a never-before-seen Battle Pass, four new weapons, two new multiplayer maps, and the return of the Control game mode.

Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific release time

Unlike previous Warzone updates, the game's servers will need to be taken offline for 12 hours, starting December 7 at 21:00 PM PT, for it to transform into Warzone Pacific. During this time, the Warzone Pacific update will be available for pre-download, regardless of whether you own Vanguard or not. That said, Vanguard owners can play Warzone Pacific starting December 8 at 9:00 a.m. PT and 12 p.m. ET, which will then be available worldwide 00 hours after December 24 at 9:9 a.m. PT and at 00pm ET.

At the time of writing, it is still unclear whether Warzone Pacific will continue to be tied to Modern Warfare or if it will become an application of its own. Considering its release is only a few hours away, we recommend players continue installing the Modern Warfare launcher before Warzone Pacific becomes available.

Once Caldera takes over from the soon-retired Verdansk, battle royale fans should expect an entirely new island roaming around with Vanguard-inspired locations related. Additionally, it has been confirmed that weapons obtained through Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare can still be used in a limited amount of its game modes.
