CoD MW3 Season 5 release date: UK launch time and patch notes revealed

There are new maps, weapons, operators from WWE, events and more. There's even a final mission for story mode, making the short singleplayer that little bit longer.

It's certainly looking enough to tide us until CoD Black Ops 6 beta lands ahead of the full release date. Just be sure to have enough storage space to have Black Ops 6 and CoD: MW3 installed side by side, as the file size will no doubt be equally massive.

But until then, it's all about Modern Warfare 3. Let's get cracking!

When is CoD MW3 Season 5 release date?

It was confirmed on the official site that The Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 remake's Season 5 will drop on Wednesday 24th July 2024.

So fairly soon then! Hopefully, you have the evening squared away so that you can get stuck in and try out all the new content. Be sure to keep reading to check out what's new in the patch notes. In Call of Duty fashion, there is an almost overwhelmingly large amount of stuff to sink our teeth into.

But when might we in ol' blighty get to try it out? Keep reading to see when the the update lands in the UK.

When is the CoD MW3 Season 5 UK launch time?

The CoD MW3 Season 5 UK launch time is 5PM BST.

That means it should be ready to download as soon as you get home from work or ready to go the moment it goes live if you're already back from school or had the day off!

mercifully, you can pre-load the update too and it's available a few hours before the launch so you shouldn't miss a second if you're prepared.

What to expect from CoD MW3 Season 5: Full patch notes revealed

So, what can we expect from the CoD MW3 Season 5 patch? The full patch notes have been revealed, so really we know everything there is to know!

Courtesy of Activision themselves, a content summary has been provided. Check it out below:

Bait and Switch: Two new maps arrive in Season 5. Deploy dockside on a hot Florida day in Bait and Yard brings the fight to a desert junkyard in a new small-sized cel-shaded map. In addition, three fan-favorite maps receive a sketchy new cel-shaded look with the arrival of Celship (Shipment), Toonoxide (Rust), and Ink House (Stash House).

Play to Win: Operators will be put to the test in new competitive Modes. Slam Deathmatch brings out the WWE Superstar within, requiring a showman’s finest Finishing Moves to take down enemies. COD Warrior is a 2v2v2 quickfire mini-game mode, but don’t forget – it’s all about the team that comes out on top.

Fishing, Paint, and ‘Fuse: Three new Modes arrive Mid-Season! Fishfection Mode is a scaly twist on Infected, arming Operators with only the Spear and Compound Bow to fend off a growing school of fallen Fish Operators. Unleash the artist within in the vibrant new Paintball Mode, which replaces bullets with paint... and lethal one-shot kills. Then play Defuse or Destroy, a defensive twist on S&D that starts rounds with a bomb already planted. Tick, tick… boom!

We've also taken the liberty of sorting through the update ourselves. Below is what we gleaned from the patch ntes.

• Final mission for Story mode
• Bait, Yard, Celship, Toonoxide and Ink-House maps
• Weapons including Static-HV, Spear, Torque 35, EMP Grenade and a new assault rifle
• Arcade, Slam Deathmatch, COD Warrior, Fishfection and Paintball modes
• Warzone modes - Superstore Resurgence (Urzikstan) and Supreme Resurgence (Rebirth Island)
