Season 2 of Warzone Pacific and Vanguard is almost here - and with it an array of new map locations and field upgrades to look forward to.

There are also new modes and events in Warzone, and for those who pick up the Battle Pass, new Operators and weapons.

This page outlines the Warzone Season 2 release time and everything you have to look forward to in Warzone as part of the update.

When does Warzone Season 2 release? Vanguard and Warzone Season 2 release time in UK / GMT, CEST, EDT and PDT explained

The Warzone Season 2 release date is Monday, February 14th.

Unlike previous seasons which tend to roll out on a Thursday, this is coming on a Monday, and on Valentine's Day no less - well timed if you're idea of a perfect date is getting stuck into a battle royale game.

The Warzone Season 2 release time is as follows:

UK: 5pm (GMT)
Europe: 6pm (CEST)
East Coast US: 12pm (EDT)
West Coast US: 9am (PDT)

Depending on your region and platform, the update should be available now - so make sure you manually update your game ahead of time so you can get playing right away.

As per usual, be prepared for the release times to be delayed in case there's any last minute changes or setbacks from the developer.

What's new in Warzone Pacific Season 2?

The theme for the Season 2 update is 'Armored War Machines' and chemical weapons, with new points of interests and features to take advantage of.

This includes:

A Portable Decontamination Station which can shield players from Nebula V gas or the circle collapsing temporarily.

New map additions, including a Chemical Factory and Underground Chemical Weapon Research Labs.
The Bomber flying vehicle.
