The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 season 4 updates have been announced, and it looks like it's full of amazing content.
It was confirmed at the Summer Games Fest that a plethora of stuff will be coming to MW2 and Warzone 2 as part of the update, and perhaps most excitingly is the new Vondel map for the battle royale mode. And to top it all, the new CoD season is set to go live very soon.
We share all we know about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 season 4 release date, including when the new Vondel map goes live.
When is the new Warzone map release date?
The new Warzone 2 map release date is Wednesday 14th June 2023, which has been confirmed by the development team.
Vondel, the new medium-size battle royale map, is set to launch alongside CoD MW2 season 4, which is set to go live here in the UK on Wednesday 14th June at 5pm BST.
If all goes to plan and there aren't any last-minute delays or unexpected extended server maintenance, we’ll all be playing through the new MW2 season very soon.
As with any new CoD season, there is plenty to get excited about in MW2 season 4 and Warzone 2 season 4. It’s not just the new Vondel map - we do get treated to a lot of new content these days.

What will season 4 bring to Warzone and MW2?
There is plenty to get excited about in the new season 4 update in both Warzone and Modern Warfare 2. Both game modes are getting new maps (one for Warzone and seven for MW2) alongside plenty of other updates and new features.
Check out the image above for a handy guide on everything being added to both games in season 4. We’ve written the major additions out for you below, too, so you can get more detail on what matters most.
What’s new in Warzone season 4?
The major new addition to Warzone in season 4 is the introduction of Vondel. This new map is a medium-sized one and can be played in DMZ, Resurgence and the new Lockdown limited-time mode at launch and just after. Sometime mid-season it will be available in the standard battle royale mode.
Vondel supports 18 players in DMZ and 72 in Resurgence modes. The map has 15 points of interest, including a football stadium, a medieval castle and an abandoned zoo.
The new Lockdown LTM is set to begin on 28th June. In it, groups of four will be tasked with capturing and holding onto multiple zones across the map - think Hardpoint but on a larger scale, meaning it should last around twice as long.
Also new to Vondel are the Tactical Amphibious Vehicle, Favourite Supply Box, Reinforcement Flare and more. There’s a lot to look forward to. You may notice that Al Mazrah has been altered thanks to those sandstorms, too, with new sand banks and dunes littering the map.
