What to expect from CoD BO7 Season 1 Reloaded

Naturally, as with any major content update, there's a huge amount to look forward to in Season 1 Reloaded.

The biggest addition is that we'll be getting three new Multiplayer maps, including one brand-new map and two returning ones:

• Yakei (6v6 / 2v2)
• Meltdown (6v6)
• Fringe (6v6)

Zombies will also be getting some updates, with the Zarya Cosmodrome from Ashes of the Damned becoming its own Survival map, and the Astra Malorum map receiving a Directed mode.

In the Campaign, we'll be getting two new world events, though the only one we know about is the Wraith Wing, focused on a Guild aircraft with cloning capabilities.

On the weaponry front, we only know about two new weapons joining the game thus far:

• Hawker HX (Sniper Rifle, FKA Ballista Sniper)
• Sturmwolf 45 (SMG, FKA UMP45)

Last but not least, we're also getting a collaboration with Fallout to celebrate the TV show's ongoing season 2.

There isn't much to go on yet, but a short teaser appears to hint that Lucy, Maximus and The Ghoul will all feature.
