The Shadow Company Operators inCall of Duty: WarzoneSeason 5 consist of Rozlin “Roze” Helms, Velikan, and Marcus “Lerch” Ortega, who is portrayed as the Shadow Company’s leader. It’s possible that Shadow Company is still led by General Shepherd in the newCall of Duty: Modern Warfarereboot timeline, but the character is nowhere to be seen just yet. It’s possible that theModern Warfarereboot sequelwill feature Shepherd and Shadow Company’s infamous betrayal, but that’s just speculation at this time.
While the newWarzoneSeason 5trailer confirms the release date and the debut of Shadow Company, it is otherwise light on details. However, Activision has previously teased what fans can expect fromWarzoneSeason 5.
Recently, Activision sent out teasers to various Twitch streamers hinting at some of the possible changes coming to the battle royale map as part ofCall of Duty: WarzoneSeason 5. Perhaps the biggest change pushed by Activision is the possibility ofStadium opening up, which has been hinted at numerous times in the past. However, Stadium opening isn’t the only battle royale map change that has been teased. It’s also been suggested that moving trains will be added toWarzoneas well, but fans will have to wait until next week to find out more.
In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what Season 5 has in store for the standardModern Warfaremultiplayer as well. A leak has suggested that anew Cornfield Gunfight mapwill be added, but not much else is known beyond that.
