  • Nine multiplayer modes, mixing classics like Team Deathmatch and Domination with brand-new ones such as Kill Block
  • Six multiplayer maps (five of them completely new to the series)
  • A first for the franchise: a full campaign mission called “Entrenched,” playable during both beta weekends 

Open Beta (August 28–September 1)The open beta will be available to everyone on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. It carries over nearly everything from the Early Access period, with a few changes and additions:

  • The “Lotus” map is replaced by “Lithium”
  • Two new multiplayer modes: Hijack and Combat Outpost
  • A brand-new Warzone Resurgence map called “Zodiac”

These betas give players an early look at what Infinity Ward has prepared for the full game, which launches on October 23, 2026.
