CoD MW4 Warzone comes out on Friday 6 November at 5am UK time, the developers have confirmed.

What to expect from CoD MW4 Warzone

The official Call of Duty blog has promised Warzone players that two new maps will be available as part of this update, as well as returns for Rebirth Island and Verdansk.

If you want to exact wording, here's how the blog described the updated Warzone: "Play across two new maps in Call of Duty: Warzone as the Season 1 update brings both Hajin and Zodiac, plus the return of Verdansk and Rebirth Island, additional game modes, gameplay features, and more as Modern Warfare 4 becomes fully integrated with the free-to-play game."

So you should have plenty to keep you busy, and all without spending a penny!
