Warzone’s developers revealed new information about Godzilla and King Kong’s arrival in Caldera as part of Season 3’s Operation Monarch event. Here’s everything you need to know about the Godzilla vs Kong event, including the release date and what to expect.

Following the Warzone Pacific Season 3 update finally arriving, we not only got a ton of new patch notes with weapon and map changes, but we also received more details on this season’s main attraction, Operation Monarch.

This Season 3 event involves both Godzilla and King Kong, and not just as Operator skins. Now that we have more details on this event, let’s unpack the details.

Warzone Godzilla vs Kong Operation Monarch release date

Warzone’s Operation Monarch Godzilla vs Kong event will kick off on May 11 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST, two weeks after Season 3’s launch. The mode will stick around until May 25, so make sure you get on and experience the Titans in action while you can.

The Titan-themed event brings a brand new way to play the game, which will create exciting gameplay opportunities. Let’s get into the details of how it will work.

Kong in Warzone

What is Operation Monarch in Warzone – LTM explained?

Call of Duty Warzone’s Operation Monarch is a “special limited-time event featuring the iconic Titans of the Monsterverse, Godzilla and Kong.”

Operation Monarch will bring a brand new limited-time mode for Quads. This mode features a Resurgence ruleset and when players first drop-in, “A smaller section of Caldera will be marked for the first safe area.”

Once on the map, players must search Supply Boxes, special drops, and fallen enemies for Monarch Intel. This intel will “charge a special meter that unlocks items such as Killstreaks and Loadout Drops, along with a unique and powerful Titan Killstreak reward for filling it up completely.”

Meanwhile, Kong and Godzilla will be wreaking havoc on the map, and at the start and during the match they will enter a Titan Frenzy phase, where they become very aggressive. Dealing damage to the Titans will also reward players with Monarch Intel.

During a Titan Frenzy, players can either withdraw or attack. “The squad who deals the most damage to either Kong or Godzilla during a Titan Frenzy will automatically receive Monarch’s special S.C.R.E.A.M. Device. “

This device is essentially a killstreak that allows players to order an attack from either one of the Titans. Players can choose either Kong’s ground pound or Godzilla’s Heat Ray breath. Players can direct this attack at any point on Caldera.

Operation Monarch challenges & rewards
