- Quick Answer: The patch notes for Black Ops 7 Season 5 Reloaded update will drop soon, but don't expect them to be too long.
We are in the latter stages of the post-launch year for Black Ops 7 and Warzone, with the Season 5 Reloaded update, along with its patch notes, just around the corner. This is not expected to be a big update, but it will still have some things to look at nonetheless.
While we wait for the developers to publish the notes, here is everything we can expect and some important details.
When Does Black Ops 7 Season 5 Reloaded Start?
Black Ops 7 Season 5 Reloaded is scheduled to start on Thursday, August 20, for all platforms. The respective update will go live at 9:00 AM PT (5:00 PM BST), and PC players can already preload it through the Battle.net launcher.
The season will remain available for another four weeks before a new one (and possibly the last one for the game) arrives.
What Can We Expect From the Patch Notes?
As we said, this is expected to be a relatively small patch, as it won't add too much content, but we can expect a few things out of it.
For starters, the update should bring weapon changes to many of the recent additions, as well as other weapons that have been in the game for a while.
The patch should include quality-of-life changes, maybe improvements to some of the game systems. Even though it's the end of the cycle, the devs usually don't stop putting out new QOL features at this stage.
Lastly, the patch should include a long list of bug fixes, since the polishing work never stops, especially with all the new content that gets constantly added.
Once the complete patch notes are live, we will update this article to add all the information in one place, so you can get up to speed.
