Modern Warfare 3 Adding New Pixel-Art Inspired Version Of Favela With Season 4 Reloaded Update

Call of Duty‘s Season 4 Reloaded update has been announced for June 26, bringing a plethora of new content to Modern Warfare 3, Warzone, and Warzone Mobile. Alongside some new modes, maps, and more, Modern Warfare 3 players will be able to jump into the new Bit Party playlist modifier and check out a new spin on a classic map.

In a new blog post on the official Call of Duty website, Activision pulled back the curtain on the series’ next big update: Season 4 Reloaded. Whether you’re a classic Multiplayer player or dropping into Urzikstan to pick up another dub, this week’s content update will have something for everyone.

Tomorrow’s update will bring with it a new 6v6 Multiplayer map for Modern Warfare 3, known as Incline. This small-sized map is reminiscent of Black Ops’ Summit, taking players to the mountains of Urzikstan to battle it out around a research outpost and transit facility. For those eager to check out the new map, there’s a handy overview and Tac Map on Call of Duty’s website.

There’s also a brand-new ‘Mutation Mode’ coming with Season 4 Reloaded as part of the ongoing Altered Strain Event. Modified DNA strands have infected multiple Operators, meaning current Multiplayer skirmishes could devolve at any time into the new Mutation Mode.

The mode pits one team of humans against a frightening selection of mutants, across a Mosh Pit of familiar game modes. To find out more details on the new mode, check out Call of Duty’s new blog post on Season 4 Reloaded.

Favela Gets A New Look In Season 4 Reloaded

Season 4 Reloaded is filled with plenty of content to keep fans going until Season 5 drops, but it’s Modern Warfare 3’s upcoming playlist modifier that really has fans intrigued. If you’re someone who wants Call of Duty to stay as a classic mil-sim, look away now.

When tomorrow’s content update is deployed, the new ‘Bit Party’ playlist modifier will officially be live. In this new playlist, whenever you eliminate an enemy in this special playlist, your Operator’s head will begin to expand. There are three head sizes available in Bit Party: small, medium, and large. Once you’re eliminated, the size of your Operator’s head will revert back to small.

This means that as you rack up more kills, you’re going to become an easier target for enemies. But there are some pros to this wacky playlist, as you’ll be able to earn more objective bonuses whilst your head is enlarged.

“The larger your Operator’s head, the more points you’ll earn for eliminating enemies in Team Deathmatch, picking up tags in Kill Confirmed, and holding the objective in Hardpoint. In Domination, bigger heads capture flags more quickly,” Activision confirmed.

Also debuting with Season 4 Reloaded is Bitvela, a new variant map of Favela.

According to Activision, Bitvela will be “a faithful recreation of [Favela].” With vibrant colors, pixelated cars, buildings and trees, jagged clouds, and box-like smoke particles, Bitvela aims to perfectly mimic the original map without a curved edge in sight.

Season 4 Reloaded will launch on June 26 at 9AM PT.
