Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare enter their fifth season next week and we’ve got some new information. Among other things, the August 5 release date was confirmed by Activision, as well as the release of a new faction called Shadow Company.
To reveal the new faction, Activision released a short teaser trailer on their YouTube channel. The Shadow Faction is a throwback to fan-favorite Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, where the Shadow Company was a group of mercenaries with general Shepherd at the helm of it. With the the release of the new faction the game will also see three new operators, while Verdansk will also get a train that circles the map filled to the brim with loot.
