The new Call of Duty season is aptly called ‘The Last Stand’ as it will be the final Warzone season before the launch of Warzone 2 in November and the final season for Vanguard before the release of Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty season 5 will bring with it the new Beheaded and Fortress maps, Operation Last Call and new operators like Raul Menendez and Gabriel Rorke.

Speaking about the upcoming release of Call of Duty season 5, Activision said: “Everything good must come to an end… but bad is forever. Launching August 24, Last Stand gathers Call of Duty’s most notorious villains for an epic finale, crammed with masses of free content for both Vanguard and Warzone. Deploy as one of four of the biggest villains in Call of Duty history — the charismatic Raul Menendez, the ruthless Khaled Al-Asad, the brainwashed Gabriel T. Rorke, and the merciless He “Seraph” Zhen-Zhen. They’re hell-bent on revenge — if it’s the last thing they do.

“Last Stand is bringing major updates to all three gaming experiences. In Warzone, Caldera’s Peak is ready to rumble — will you wreak havoc or defend the island from sabotage? In Multiplayer, deploy to two new fast-paced maps, Beheaded and Fortress. In Zombies, continue the Dark Aether saga and face off against Kortifex the Deathless in Vanguard’s round-based finale, ‘The Archon’.”
