As Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 nears its end, Activision has officially teased the return of fan-favorite antagonist Vikhor “Stitch” Kuzmin for the upcoming Season 4. The revelation came through a brand-new Season 3 Outro Cinematic shared on Twitter, leaving the community both hyped and puzzled.
Season 3 Reloaded Recap
The recent Season 3 Reloaded update, which dropped on May 1, brought a wave of fresh content to both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Highlights included:
- Two new multiplayer maps
- A Nuketown-inspired “Blazetown” variant
- The Ladra SMG
- The Mini-Rocket Conversion Kit for the Goblin Mk2 7.62
- A continuation of the High Art event, now extended until May 22
With content updates continuing to roll in, Treyarch is already shifting attention toward what’s next.
Stitch’s Return in Season 4
According to the outro cinematic, Russell Adler and the Rogue Black Ops team are preparing to clear their names. However, to do so, they must recruit an unlikely ally: Stitch. Last seen incarcerated at Camp Zeta, a high-security facility in Iceland, Kuzmin’s involvement adds a new layer of mystery and tension to the ongoing narrative.
Treyarch has yet to confirm how Stitch’s storyline will play out, but fans should expect him to take center stage when the next season launches.
Community Reaction: Excitement Meets Confusion
While many fans are thrilled about Kuzmin’s return, others expressed concern over the story’s direction. The replies to the teaser trailer on social media were filled with mixed reactions—some questioning the continuity with Black Ops Cold War, and others calling for a more coherent storyline without potential retcons from Warzone’s past seasons.
What’s Next?
If Call of Duty’s seasonal schedule holds, Season 4 is expected to begin on May 29, immediately following the conclusion of the current Battle Pass. That still gives players a bit more time to wrap up their progress in Season 3 and collect all available rewards from the High Art event before it’s gone.
Whether you’re here for the lore or just the loot, Season 4 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about yet.
