The Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 Battle Pass promises a bunch of new content, on top of all of the seasonal content as the MW2 year reaches its final weeks, bringing all-new layers to both multiplayer and Warzone battle royale. Here are all the details on the latest Battle Pass.

Starting August 2, Season 5 is bringing new multiplayer maps, modes, and more to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone, including a remake of the classic Call of Duty 4 map Strike.

Alongside the regular Battle Pass, Call of Duty has recently introduced BlackCell, a premium version of the Battle Pass, that offers even more rewards as well as tier skips to get you to completion quicker.

Here are all the details on the new season’s Battle Pass.
