Original Call of Duty battle royale Warzone<\/strong> took the gaming world by storm in 2020, dominating headlines and gamer interest ever since. With its huge popularity, it certainly made sense for Activision to eventually green light Warzone 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That time has now come\u2060\u2014Call of Duty bosses<\/strong> have called for a Warzone sequel<\/strong>, and development has finally roared to life at Infinity Ward<\/strong> headquarters.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s absolutely everything we know about Warzone 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Warzone 2 release date<\/h2>\n

Activision has yet to rubber-stamp an official Warzone 2 release date<\/strong>, but expect a 2023 launch for the Call of Duty battle<\/strong> royale\u2019s long-awaited follow-up. Franchise publishers have confirmed the game will \u201ccome with Modern Warfare 2<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether this means the two Infinity Ward games<\/strong> will release at the same time or will be spaced out is not confirmed\u2060\u2014we\u2019ll update you once we know anything more.<\/p>\n

Warzone 2 gameplay \u2060details<\/h3>\n

One major feature of shipping any sequel is upgrading the original title\u2019s gameplay and features, and Warzone 2<\/strong> is expected to be no different. Infinity Ward<\/strong> is being given the chance to rebuild the battle royale\u2019s engine from scratch here, which should alleviate many of the bugs and errors from the current version.<\/p>\n

Insiders have reported there will be \u201cno past weapon integrations\u201d either, which means the current arsenal of Modern Warfare 2019, Black Ops Cold War, Vanguard<\/strong>, and Modern Warfare 2<\/strong> (on its way) will not be available.<\/p>\n

The new game will be \u201cbuilt from the ground up\u201d with a \u201cnew play space and new sandbox mode,\u201d as well as its own selection of classic Call of Duty weapons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Modern Warfare 2 maps in Warzone 2<\/h4>\n

One thing we do already know about the planned Warzone sequel is it will be built around Modern Warfare 2<\/strong>. That means many of its launch POIs will be based on old Modern Warfare maps\u2060\u2014think Blackout\u2019s Black Ops 4 theme in 2018. This could include Favela, Highrise, Terminal, and plenty more.<\/p>\n

Current CoD battle royale maps<\/strong> like Verdansk<\/strong> and Caldera<\/strong> are likely to take a back seat heading into the sequel too. Expect a full new map for Warzone 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What platforms will Warzone 2 be on?<\/h4>\n

Dot Esports expects the upcoming CoD battle royale<\/strong> to leave all current-gen consoles when focus shifts to its sequel title\u2060\u2014Warzone 2<\/strong> will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC, by all accounts.<\/p>\n

Graphical upgrades are a safe bet if this holds true, but performance could also be improved for console players with features like the highly requested FOV slider.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth taking this particular claim with a grain of salt for now though. We know for certain that Modern Warfare 2<\/strong> is set to launch across both current and previous-gen hardware. If Warzone 2<\/strong> is indeed being developed alongside MW2, this could be indicative of a similar launch across all consoles.<\/p>\n
