Standard Ranked Play will be available from launch. According to the official blog post, Ranked Play Resurgence will follow the same ruleset featured during the Modern Warfare 3 era. However, since there's still time before its release, some changes may be implemented.

The Warzone Season 4 update goes live on May 29, 2025, at 9 am PT, bringing a wealth of new content. However, players must wait about a month for Resurgence Ranked Play, which will arrive with the mid-season update.

To keep players engaged in the meantime, several new additions have been confirmed. A new point of interest (POI) called Overlook will be added to the Verdansk map. It features various areas catering to different playstyles. Notably, the tall yellow crane serves as an ideal vantage point for snipers, offering a clear view from a high elevation.

A new limited-time mode (LTM) called Clash will launch with Season 4. It’s a 104-player, 52v52 mode that provides Team Deathmatch and Domination in a 15-minute match. This LTM will take place across sub-sections of the Verdansk map, specifically:

Quarry
Boneyard
Farmland
Promenade (East)

Another LTM, Havoc Royale, is set to arrive, but not at launch; it will be introduced with the Season 4 Reloaded update.

Apart from modes and POIs, a new vehicle, the Polaris Sportsman XP 1000, will be added at launch. Additionally, Season 4 Reloaded will bring new features like the Loot Master Perk, Care Package Killstreak, and more.
