Activision has announced a later-than-expected release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone's Season 3. The tweet confirms a launch date of April 3rd:
Season 03 is a big moment for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 6, and we’re taking the time to deliver a great experience starting on April 3.

This April 3rd launch is later than anticipated, as the current Battle Pass countdown suggested a March 20th reset. Further details are promised next week, following Call of Duty: Warzone's 5th anniversary.
Player excitement is high, fueled by ongoing teases of the Verdansk map's return this spring. A recent in-game shop pop-up hinted at "The Verdansk Collection" arriving March 10th, strongly suggesting the map's comeback.
More information on Season 3 is expected next week, likely coinciding with or shortly following the March 10th "Verdansk Collection" release. Until then, players can enjoy Season 2's additions: five new multiplayer maps, the return of Gun Game, new weapons and operators, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event.
