Massive Update: The Future of Call of Duty: Warzone Revealed!
Activision shocks players with news of the impending shutdown of the beloved original Call of Duty: Warzone battle royale game Stay tuned for more details on this unexpected development
Call of Duty: Warzone, the original version, is set to close its doors on September 21, 2023, according to a recent announcement by Activision. Originally introduced in 2020 as a free-to-play companion to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot from 2019, it quickly gained popularity due to its iconic Verdansk map and unique battle royale elements like the Gulag.
However, the current iteration of Call of Duty: Warzone bears little resemblance to its original form. Activision implemented significant changes to the Verdansk map to keep up with the evolving landscape of battle royale games. Eventually, Verdansk was completely replaced by the Pacific map called Caldera, which was tied to the release of Call of Duty: Vanguard. Unfortunately, Caldera did not capture the same level of enthusiasm as Verdansk, resulting in a sharp decline in interest for the battle royale experience.
Players who have purchased Call of Duty: Warzone skins will now face a significant drawback as they will no longer be able to utilize them in the battle royale format. However, these skins and other cosmetic items for Call of Duty: Warzone can still be utilized in the main Call of Duty games such as Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, and Vanguard. Nevertheless, given that many players exclusively engage in the battle royale experience, it is likely that this decision will disappoint some fans.
