Warzone season three has kicked off, introducing a wave of new features and welcoming players back to the Verdansk map. However, a significant element for competitive players, the Ranked Playlist, is currently unavailable at launch, directing those seeking ranked matches to other game modes for the time being.
While Ranked Play is temporarily offline, players can dive into several alternative playlists currently available:
- Classic **battle royale** modes
**Plunder**
Various other unranked playlists
Fortunately for competitive enthusiasts, the mode won’t be missing for the entire duration of the season. Here’s a brief overview of the current situation:
| Feature | Status |
| Verdansk Map | Live |
| Season 3 Content | Live |
| Ranked Playlist | Temporarily Offline |
When is Ranked coming to Warzone season 3?
Players eager to resume their climb through the ranks won’t face an indefinite wait. The Ranked Playlist is scheduled to return to CoD: Warzone alongside the season three reloaded mid-season update. It’s crucial to note that its return this season will coincide with a significant rank reset, placing all players back at the Bronze tier. This marks a departure from the typical soft reset, though developers have indicated the standard soft reset will be reinstated for the transition into season four.
Based on established seasonal patterns, the season three reloaded update is expected to deploy sometime in early May. This timeline suggests the Ranked Playlist will remain unavailable for the rest of April. In the interim, players can focus on progressing through the new battle pass and participating in active in-game events before the ranked competition restarts.
What else is coming with Warzone season 3?
While comprehensive details regarding the full content of the season three reloaded update are still forthcoming, some additions beyond the return of the Ranked Playlist have been confirmed. Players can anticipate the arrival of a new SMG, known as the Ladra. Additionally, a new in-game event is confirmed, set to offer fresh rewards for players to earn.
Beyond these specific items, expect the introduction of new limited-time game modes, such as High Trip, intended to inject variety into the gameplay experience mid-season. More detailed information about the mid-season update’s offerings will likely be revealed closer to the May timeframe. Until then, the initial launch of Warzone season three provides plenty of content to explore.
