Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is a little too quiet
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is expected to launch very soon, but it's nowhere to be seen – and fans think it has been quietly delayed
The much-anticipated Season 4 Reloaded update for Call of Duty has yet to materialise, leading players to suspect a quiet delay.
Black Ops 6 hasn't done much to keep players engaged in its fourth season. Despite a steady stream of players spending time in Warzone, it's ironically the game that players have shelled out AAA prices for that is falling short.
The game has failed to provide any new significant content to keep shooter fans hooked, and as it continues to release silly skins that many feel undermine the game's atmosphere, it seems as though it's starting to lose traction, especially now that fans have been waiting so long for the anticipated Black Ops 6 Zombies finale Janus Towers. It's frustrating, but there's also stiff competition on the field with the new Fortnite Squid Game Reload mode. It's high time that Call of Duty steps up its game.
However, it appears that any new update has quietly stalled. After the Black Ops 7 reveal as part of summer's showcase season, it was thought that the mid-season Reloaded update for season 4 would be just around the corner.
But as we pass its halfway point, it's still absolutely nowhere to be seen. So, what exactly is going on? And when is Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded? Here's what we know.
Why hasn't Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded dropped yet?
Gamers have been left puzzled as Call of Duty has yet to announce its Season 4 Reloaded update, leading many to believe it has been discreetly postponed. The ongoing Rivals event in Black Ops 6 was extended without any public notice, and with four weeks having elapsed since the release of Black Ops 6 Season 4 on Thursday, May 29, players have been anticipating at least an announcement, if not an update, which has yet to materialise.
Adding to the intrigue, Call of Duty has been teasing the Season 4 Reloaded content without disclosing a launch date, announcing new Beavis and Butthead cosmetics on Twitter and discussing the update on the CoD Pod, all without giving any indication of a release date. Given this, it seems likely that Activision is taking its time until it is confident it can deliver the update promptly.
With this in mind, we can anticipate that Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 will debut on either Thursday, July 3, or Thursday, July 10, in line with its usual release schedule, but this has yet to be confirmed.
We'll have to wait for confirmations from Activision to know the truth, but at the moment, it appears that Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded has been delayed. Hang in there, because it's coming. Probably.

Games Inbox: Is AI going to ruin video games?
The Friday letters page has a bad feeling about the rumoured Xbox layoffs, as one reader thinks there's a real chance for Star Wars: Battlefront 3. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Bad enough I've no idea what Front Mission is but that story about the remake replacing all the artwork with AI garbage is just awful. I get that Square Enix subcontracted the work to a not great company but it's still disgusting. Once again, we see that 'good enough' is the highest aspiration companies have and even then it never even reaches that standard. What saddens me is that most people are like that too. AI clearly doesn't work – it lies all the time if you try to search with it – but if you ignore that one inconvenient fact then it may save you a few seconds of work every time you use. I mean, who cares if it changes a robot into a helicopter or some guy talking into a Lenin stand-in… it's good enough. First time I remember being aware of generative AI in games was that six-fingered zombie from Call Of Duty but we've had two controversies already this week, so I really fear this sort of thing is going to become commonplace now. I don't think it's hyperbole to say this could ruin all of gaming, not just with the bad quality visuals but the sacking of developers and Microsoft even trying to make games with AI. Can you imagine how bad that'd be? The rumour is that these Xbox layoffs coming up are connected to AI and that's only going to convince other companies that relying on it, and getting rid of people with decades of experience, is a good idea. Bosly Endless fear This impending cull of more Xbox developers is so disgusting. I know it was said it was inevitable, because all acquisitions are like that, but this is just Microsoft taking a chainsaw to dozens of perfectly good developers. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. I'm reading on X that a bunch of UK studios are worried, and I think that's going to mean the end of Team Ninja or them being turned into some soulless support studio that's not allowed to make its own games. There's talk of the team behind Forza Motorsport (not Horizon) fearing the worst too. Whatever happens the worst thing will be that it probably won't be the last time. It's already happened twice before, and this third time looks like be the biggest so far. Dougal There is another Just in case you haven't been keeping tabs on it but Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is still getting more popular on Steam. It's in the top 50 now, since a few big name streamers have started playing it, and only seems to be getting more and more players. I really think there's beginning to be a chance that EA will take notice and make another. Except… there's kind of a big problem. One of the main reasons it's so popular is that it's only £3.49 on Steam (it's £18 on the PlayStation Store). I'm afraid that would only tempt EA into trying to make some kind of free-to-play Apex Legends type thing. I really hope they do a proper sequel though. Something that took advantage of all the ideas in Andor, which was all grounded combat and no lightsabers, would be amazing. Iver Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Sharing is caring RE: Phil and free Game Pass: did someone else have your console set as their 'home' console for the last two years but predominantly play elsewhere? If so, then you would be able to use their Game Pass subscription. We have both an Xbox Series X and an Xbox Series S, with the Xbox Series X being the console I use. However, my 'home' console is the Xbox Series S, so the kids can use this console but take advantage of my Game Pass subscription on their profiles, whereas I can use my Game Pass subscription on my Xbox Series X, even though it isn't my home console. It's a handy feature that's been around for a while but isn't well-documented, for the obvious reason of Microsoft wanting you to spend more money on subscriptions. That might be the reason why. Otherwise, well done to you for having free Game Pass for the last two years! NatorDom Celebrity makeover I will say this about the new Donkey Kong game, I am 100% sold on the redesign of DK himself. Compared to the original one, which basically only had one expression, the reboot is full of personality and I'm loving it. I already play as him all the time in Mario Kart World and if the new game gets good review I'll look forward to playing him in that too. Companies shouldn't be afraid of reinventing things from time to time. The last thing we needed was another stupidly hard 2D game and Bananza looks much more interesting than that. Scooby Teflon Phil This might seem like a strange thing to say about a $3 trillion company, but I feel a great deal of pity for Microsoft. Or rather, I feel a lot of pity for the ordinary workers at Xbox, who not only have the constant threat of layoffs hanging over their heads but really do seem to be doing their best to make the whole Xbox thing work. The Xbox 360 is 20 years old this year, but can you imagine Sony or Nintendo still supporting the PlayStation 3 or GameCube today? OK, half of the update was an ad for the Xbox Series X but there is a genuine update to the dashboard after all these years and I have to respect Microsoft workers for that. Especially as Xbox backwards compatibility is the best in class and there's really no reason to be playing an actual Xbox 360 anyway. After a good summer showcase the upcoming Xbox line-up looks good (I'd actually concentrate on new franchises rather than wasting more time with Halo and Gears Of War, but that's just me) and Game Pass gets better value every day. If things were fair Xbox would be doing great, but instead it constantly feels like it's on the edge of disaster. I blame the Xbox management entirely and can't bare to see any of them anymore, with their stupid smiling faces while they know what's really going on. I don't see how any of their recent announcements are going to work out and yet no matter how many mistakes are made the only people that ever seem to get punished for it are the ordinary developers. Lapdash Still online Sorry to ask this GC, but I've never owned an Xbox, so don't know. I've just read that Xbox 360 received an update a few days ago and I also found out they took the store down. Can you still play games online on the Xbox 360 or is it offline only? David GC: As long as the servers are run by Microsoft, which is the case for the majority of games, then they'll still be playable online. Nothing by EA will work though, since they run their own servers – as do other companies for certain titles. No mistakes I think I'll wait a few more weeks to see what the Switch 2's biggest single-player launch window game is like before I decide for myself, but I doubt Nintendo thinks they've fumbled or disappointed. With the exception of some reported third party sales and minor Mario Kart backlash, from those who apparently think no effort went into it, things seem to be playing out exactly as planned. Console sales look to have surpassed their expectations, the Mario Kart World bundle has worked particularly well (I'm still a bit confused how taken for granted that deal is in some circles) and Donkey Kong Bananza is the best-selling new game on Amazon right now. That'll give it two popular, genuinely new gen exclusive – and hopefully high quality – big games in the first six weeks, which as far as I can tell is a lot more than any other console has managed in the past 20 odd years. If those patterns had been followed, we'd have seen Metroid Prime 4 as a cross-gen launch title and maybe one of the Zelda remasters and that would've been it. When it comes to revealing its pipeline, it's been clear for years that showing what they judge to be enough is much more preferable for Nintendo, compared to showing their full hand and, while I don't expect a huge unannounced killer app at Christmas, I'm hardly worried that they'll now sit with their feet up till 2027. Panda GC: You're absolutely right, from a business perspective the Switch 2 has been an unambiguous success for Nintendo. Inbox also-ransThis probably makes little sense, but I think I prefer Mario Kart 8 to World as the latter gives me a Mario Kart 64 vibe somehow. Mark Matthews I'm not at all surprised that Nintendo would patch out the trick to get 3-lap races. That is Nintendo in a nutshell, it's their way or the highway!

Seething Love Island fans slam ‘vile' Ben and demand he's axed in public vote after explosive row with Yasmin
LOVE Island fans were left seething as they slammed Ben as being 'vile' and demanded he's axed in public vote. Viewers of the long-running ITV2 dating show were given the choice to vote to save their favourite girl and boy. 5 Fans of Love Island have slammed Ben Holbrough Credit: ITV2 5 Yasmin Pettet confronted her couple partner over what he said behind her back Credit: ITV2 5 She was left fuming when he seemed to insult her Credit: ITV2 The contestants that receive the fewest votes from the public will be at risk of being dumped from the show. In tonight's episode of Love Island, Yasmin Pettet, 24, decided to pull her current couple partner, Ben Holbrough, 23, for a chat. Although she went in with the intention of squashing any underlying tension, things soon got heated. She accused him of saying negative things about her to the boys behind her back, as she hinted that he didn't appreciate her enough. He seemed to blame her for choosing him in the last recoupling, to which she replied: "Who else would I have chosen at the end of the day?" The private taxi driver responded: "I haven't really been feeling you to be fair." She was completely taken aback by his comments as she sarcastically snapped back: "Okay, I'm glad you're honest about that now." Flicking her hair in disgust, she added: "That's like really helpful." He then dug himself deeper as he explained: "I gave it a go because I felt like I had to." When she said that she felt like he did not really give their partnership a proper chance, he then said: "I didn't really want to, to be fair." Love Island fans claim Ben 'looks like he's being held hostage' after surprise new couple is revealed The argument seemed to escalate as she was not happy with how Ben seemed to hide his true feelings, saying: "Don't f****** waste my time." He then insulted her further with his responses "You're lucky Shea even picked you. To be fair, I think you're lucky you're even in here now to be fair. "No one rated you when you were in here let's say. You've only come out your shell because you're in a couple with me." She then accused him of being dramatic and thinking everything is 'The Ben Show'. Before storming off, she snapped back: "The world doesn't f******* revolve around you. "I'm trying so f******** hard to be nice to you and it's taking everything in me not to snap and say something sarcastic and really b*****." Yaz said: "You're so immature," as he remarked that, "no man wants you in here." No-one rated you when you were in here lets say. You've only come out your shell because you're in a couple with me. Ben Holbrough As she walked away, Ben shouted to the rest of the villa: "Eh, she's made content for the next three weeks lads." After watching what could be one of the most hard-to-watch arguments in Love Island history, fans took to social media to slam Ben in droves. Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one fan wrote: "Ben resorting to insults. Immature. Bye Felicia." A second claimed: "Ben is the type to only respect women he finds attractive. Nasty piece of work," along with a puke emoji. "I don't think Ben did himself any favours in the chat," noted a third viewer. As a fourth fumed: "Watching Ben speaking to Yas was one of the most uncomfortable things I've seen in a long time. It wasn't good content or drama, it was genuinely just vile." And a fifth added: "Yasmin did not deserve that from Ben. Vile!" 5 Yasmin accused her co-star of wasting her time Credit: ITV2 5 He declared that he only wanted to get to know her because he felt like he 'had to' Credit: ITV2 Love Island continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.
