Battle Pass: What is known about the progress?
There will be a new Battle Pass just in time for the start of Season 1. But beware, this time it is not related to the predecessors. Instead, you will start your progression all over again and unlock rewards through matches as usual.
There has always been a free and a paid premium version of the Battle Pass. The first one you receive and level up automatically, the second one costs about ten euros and contains more rewards like XP tokens and skins. The exact rewards of Modern Warfare Season 1 are not yet known.
Pre-Season: What happens before Season 1?
Of course, you can also get started before the season starts, from 28 October 2022 the multiplayer will be unlocked worldwide. You will play your account up to a maximum of level 55, unlock weapons and special ops kits, complete daily challenges and so on.
How many seasons are there in total?
This is not yet known. Allegedly, CoD Modern Warfare 2 will be supported longer than the previous main parts of the series, namely two years until 2024. Only then will the next CoD be released. So it is quite possible that there will be more seasons than before. Usually there is a season change every eight weeks and a larger update for every mid-season.
