Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 is introducing several new characters into the storyline. As with each season, these characters are considered canon in the Call of Duty: Warzone narrative and will bring their own twists into the story. While two of them are fairly new, one is an older franchise favorite making his most recent debut in Call of Duty: Warzone's Verdansk battleground.
New operators are mainly a cosmetic change for the Call of Duty: Warzone community. While they offer no functional differences in gameplay, many fans enjoy playing as iconic heroes from the franchise. In the next season, three new operators have been revealed which are sure to make a splash in the battle royale community.
First new character is a Japanese self-taught cybersecurity expert known as Kitsune. As a member of the Warsaw Pact, she makes her mark on Call of Duty: Warzone as a key operative in Perseus's operation. She enjoys turning enemies' electronics against their users and working towards the new world order that Perseus strives for. Kitsune will be available in both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War at Tier 0 in the Season 5 battle pass.
Stryker is the second operative joining the roster and he is a proud member of NATO. Accompanying Woods in response to the besieged NATO listening station, he is known as an ultimate one-man army and the best of the best in US Special Force response teams. Stryker is a result of the 1980s Future Warfare program and a glimpse into the future of war in the Call of Duty: Warzone universe. Stryker will be released as a Season 5 Store Bundle release later in the season.
Already known by the Call of Duty: Black Ops community, the iconic character Hudson is returning to the franchise. A member of NATO and an old colleague to Adler, this CIA interrogator is joining the fight against Perseus. Leaving the comfort of DC, he is entering both the fight in Verdansk along with exploring unknown parts of the Dark Aether network. This Call of Duty: Warzone operator is planned to be released as part of the Season 5 Store Bundle offerings.
Call of Duty: Warzone continues to expand its roster with a variety of interesting characters. While this new update is introducing old and new faces into the mix, the community is slowly getting a larger look at what Season 5 holds for the future of Verdansk. Call of Duty: Warzone's next Season launches in only a few weeks.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
