Call of Duty: Warzone Season Five features gameplay changes such as a major change to the center of the map, as players will now be able to play inside the map’s stadium. Changes to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer are also debuting as Activision and its Infinity Ward game studio try to keep players engaged in the free-to-play battle royale longer during the pandemic.

Season 5 goes live August 5. The official trailer shows a soldier planting a bomb on the glass roof of the stadium, blowing the lid off the place. Players will now be able to fight and maneuver inside the stadium in the first major change to the map since the battle royale debuted in March.
