Call of Duty Warzone season 3: King Kong vs Godzilla CoD event details
Are you ready for CoDzilla?
Move aside, Snoop Dog. Two other pop-culture behemoths have just arrived in Call of Duty: none other than Godzilla and King Kong are taking part in a Warzone event right now.
This kaiju-sized activation, which does feel a tad late to be tying in with the Godzilla vs Kong film from last year, is one of the major moments in Call of Duty's third season of crossover content between Warzone and Vanguard.
Most CoD fans are starting to look ahead to Modern Warfare 2 and the Modern Warfare 2 beta, the next full game in the franchise, but this seems like an interesting distraction in the meantime.
So, what is the Godzilla CoD event and what else do you need to know about it? Read on to find out!

When does the Call of Duty Godzilla vs Kong event start and end?
The Call of Duty Godzilla vs King Kong event began on 11th May at 9am PT, which was 5pm BST here in the UK time zone.
This limited-time mode won't last forever, though. Activision has already announced that the Godzilla vs King Kong event will end on
What is in the Call of Duty Godzilla vs Kong event?
The main part of the Godzilla vs Kong event is Operation Monarch, the limited-time mode that is available to play in Warzone now.
Playing in quads (aka teams of four), players must compete to be the last team standing, and there is also Monarch Intel to be collected - you can get this intel from your fallen foes and supply boxes. The intel charges up a bar that will allow you unlock kill streaks and loadout drops.
The official Call of Duty blog notes: "While collecting intel and eliminating enemies, Operators will need to watch out for Kong and Godzilla. Dealing damage to them will award additional Monarch Intel, and while they usually don’t get too aggressive, they will be dangerous during a Titan Frenzy."
You can take your appreciation for Kong and 'zilla to the next level by dressing up as them. There are bundles in the store that will allow you to look like King Kong, Godzilla or even MechaGodzilla. And who wouldn't want that? The mech one is quite cool, to be fair.
When does Call of Duty Warzone Pacific season 3 start and end?
Call of Duty Warzone season 3 began on 27th April 2022. On that date in April, the 'monster of all seasons' kicked off, with plenty of new content going live across Warzone and Vanguard.
Call of Duty Warzone season 3 is predicted to end on or around 22nd June 2022, so you've still got plenty of time to get involved.
Call of Duty Warzone season 3 roadmap and patch notes
If you're wondering what else to expect from Call of Duty season 3, Activision has released a lengthy blog post on the official Call of Duty website to run through all the details. We'd recommend reading that if you really want to know everything that's on the roadmap.
The blog confirms that the season's official title is Classified Arms, and that it will bring a whole raft of changes to Warzone and Vanguard. Let's run through some of the key points:

- New weapons and bundles added to both games
- New operators added: Mateo Hernandez, Florence Carter and Kim Tae Young
- Vanguard multiplayer adds two new maps: Mayhem and Sphere
- Vanguard multiplayer also adds a new field upgrade (called Trophy System) and some new ranked play rewards

There is also talk of Warzone returning to Verdansk at some point, on certain platforms, which will be welcome news to anybody that didn't jive with the Pacific Caldera map in quite the same way.
However, no plans for Verdansk to return in season 3 have been announced at this stage. We'll keep you updated as we hear more, though.
