Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone are getting their biggest update of the year on 23 July, when Season 5 goes live at 9AM Pacific across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Four new maps, four new weapons, the conclusion to the Black Ops 7 Zombies storyline, and a Japan-set festival arena are all hitting at once — here is everything Singapore CoD players need to know before the season drops.
Jubilee: A Japanese Festival Town Where Combat Erupts
The standout new addition is Jubilee, a medium 6v6 map set in a rural Japanese town where a street festival has turned chaotic. The layout spans the front courtyard of a palace museum, pop-up stalls serving local cuisine, a pachinko room, garden paths, and a main street — giving you close-quarters brawls inside the festival stalls and longer sightlines down the road. It is one of the most atmospheric maps Black Ops 7 has added all year, and a rare CoD arena that leans hard into a Japanese setting. According to the official Season 5 announcement on callofduty.com, two fan-favourite maps also return remastered at launch: Frequency (from Hunan mountains-set Black Ops 4) and Dig (the compact archaeological site from Black Ops 2). Mid-season adds Turbo Tilt — set inside a giant Nuketown pinball machine — and the parkour-focused Freerun: Descent obstacle course.
Four New Weapons — Two at Launch, Two Mid-Season
Season 5 ships with two Battle Pass weapons on day one: the FG42 assault rifle (37 unlock levels, 30-round magazine) and the dual-wield-capable Gremlin SMG (47 levels, 26 rounds per mag). Mid-season adds the Mammoth LMG, earnable through the Machine of War event with a generous 50-round mag, and the Mace melee weapon for players who like getting up close. All four are earnable without spending beyond the 1,100 COD Points Battle Pass. The premium BlackCell bundle adds the Sturmwolf 45 SMG Mastercraft and Riddlefang melee blueprint for those who want the cosmetic upgrade on top.
The Zombies Story Gets Its Ending
Black Ops 7 Zombies has been building to a conclusion all year, and Season 5 delivers it in two waves. At launch, Eidskallen Lighthouse arrives as a new Survival map — a confined coastal area around a lighthouse and beacon island within the Totenreich locale. Mid-season brings Rex Infernus, the final round-based Zombies map, with the Warden boss encounter closing out the Black Ops 7 Zombies narrative for good. Directed Mode (Kowakujō) gets a Starting Room option and a 15-round cap for guided play, Widow’s Wine returns as a Perk, and three-tier Rogue Run playlists (Casual, Normal, Hardcore) offer a roguelike Zombies mode for those who want something different.
Warzone: Drone Labs and Resurgence Ranked Play
Verdansk picks up a brand-new Drone Labs point of interest, a research facility east of the TV Station with admin offices, R&D buildings, ziplines, and a drone obstacle course. Resurgence Ranked Play launches with Season 5, joining the new HKDs killstreak and Supply Drones in both Resurgence and Battle Royale. Limited-time modes Lockdown Casual and Heavy Metal Heroes add variety at launch.
When Season 5 Goes Live in Singapore
Season 5 drops on 23 July at 9AM Pacific Time, which lands at midnight SGT into Friday 24 July. If you want to play the Jubilee map the moment it unlocks, set your alarm for 00:00 SGT on Friday. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Battle.net and Steam; Warzone remains free to play. Browse more game updates and news here.
