Useful takeaways from this story.

The likely window for Warzone’s Modern Warfare 4 integration is when Season 1 of MW4 begins, probably as Black Ops 7’s last season ends around early November.

Account items that attach to your Call of Duty account — 2XP tokens and COD Points on the same platform — will move forward.

Weapons, camos, blueprints, and operators have historically carried over in Warzone updates and are expected to move into MW4’s connected Warzone experience, with some MW4 camos already unlockable in Black Ops 7.

# Quick summary

# Timeline and likely dates Warzone historically switches to the newest Call of Duty game when that game's Season 1 begins, typically a few weeks after the main release. In this cycle: Black Ops 7's final season is set to end on November 4, and industry reporting places Modern Warfare 4's launch in October. That makes early November the most plausible window for Warzone's MW4 integration, though Activision must confirm the start date for Season 1 before it's final.

Activision has said Warzone will stop running on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One when the final Black Ops 7 season ends. If you play on those last-gen consoles, you should expect Warzone to become unavailable around the same time Warzone integrates with Modern Warfare 4 on current platforms.

# What will carry forward into the MW4-connected Warzone

  • 2XP tokens: These are tied to your Call of Duty account and will transfer.
  • COD Points: They transfer only on the same platform where they were purchased (you can't move Store purchases across different platform ecosystems).
  • Weapons, camo progress, blueprints, and operators: Historically Warzone has supported legacy items across new integrations, and the article indicates it's "highly unlikely" those won't make the jump this year. Some Modern Warfare 4 camos are already accessible inside Black Ops 7 and will transfer when MW4 launches.

An open beta of Modern Warfare 4 included a preview of Warzone's MW4 update, showing the Zodiac Resurgence map. That beta gave a first look at how Warzone content will begin to shift toward Modern Warfare 4 systems and maps, but details on the full integration and how progression maps exactly remain limited until Activision provides the official Season 1 start date and notes.

# Practical advice for players

  • If you play on PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC: expect your Warzone items and some progress to carry into the MW4-connected Warzone experience.
  • Check the Call of Duty HQ account and platform wallet for COD Points before the update to avoid losing access across platforms.

# Bottom line
