Call of Duty Warzone players, you’re in for a monster of a time for the next two weeks. Raven Software has something incredible in store with Operation Monarch and it’s all kicked off. This in-game event is bringing both Godzilla and King Kong to Caldera, two iconic figures from Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse. Following Raven’s reveal of the Season 3 roadmap, we now know what the Warzone Operation Monarch release date is.
It’s safe to say that, at this stage of the game, Warzone players aren’t going to be strangers when it comes to weird and wonderful in-game events. We’ve seen Krampus roaming the Caldera jungle stalking his next victim and John McClane take on terrorists in Nakatomi Plaza. Now, though, we’re going to see Godzilla and King Kong go toe-to-toe in a Call of Duty game. We know the Warzone Operation Monarch release date and we finally have a sense of how big this fight is going to be.
For now, all we can do is share when this event is expected to start though. We’ve included everything else we know about this insane experience, too – if you’re wondering.
Warzone Operation Monarch release date
The Warzone Operation Monarch release date is May 11, 2022, in Call of Duty Warzone. This is, unusually, two weeks after the Warzone Pacific Season 3 release date.
There’s going to be Warzone Operation Monarch challenges for you to take on, and some new Warzone Operation Monarch skins in the store for you to pick up – if you want to throw yourself even further into the Monsterverse.

There is also some allusion to this event in the Warzone Pacific Season 3 cinematic trailer, which you can see below, but nothing concrete regarding Operation Monarch, King Kong, or Godzilla.
In the Warzone Season 3 battle pass trailer, we also get a great look at both monsters in-game – yes, they’re both actually coming to Warzone.
