Due to multiple leaks, many gamers had already assumed thatCall of Duty: Warzone 2.0was on its way. With some players and streamers finding the map of Caldera and the gameplay of theoriginalCall of Duty: Warzoneto be somewhat dull, it seems Activision will be granting users a new experience rather than trying to save the old game. It was officially announced recently thatCall of Duty: Warzone 2.0is in the works and that it is expected to be released later in 2022.Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0is expected to launch some time after the release of theremasteredCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, similarly to how the firstWarzonelaunched after the reboot of the firstModern Warfaregame. Through leaks, fans may already have an idea of whatWarzone 2.0’smap will look like, but aside from that and some other information on the internet, players are waiting on official Activision announcements to find out more about the upcoming title.RELATED:Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Confirmed for Release This YearRecently, Activision released one piece of information aboutCall of Duty: Warzone 2.0that may be disappointing to some fans. According to an official blog post, players moving into the new game will not be able to transfer their progression and gear from the originalCall of Duty: Warzone. This is primarily due to the fact thatWarzone 2.0is not seen as a replacement for the original game. As Activision states,Call of Duty: Warzonewill keep going as a separate experience, allowing a “continuation” of player progression in that game.
With so many players already having put a huge amount of time into earning guns andskins inCall of Duty: Warzone, it will prove a divisive decision to have that time and effort rendered pointless by the new game. However, according to Activision, there is no immediate need for players to abandon ship and jump toWarzone 2.0as soon as it releases, as both games will be available to play as separate experiences, rather than one showing a clear improvement over the other.
Only time will tell whetherCall of Duty: Warzoneand its sequel are equal games or if one is more attractive to players than the other. Hopefully,Warzone 2.0won’t have the immediate cheating and hacking problems that plagued the first game for years, as Activision has also confirmed thatCall of Duty: Warzone 2.0will have Ricochet Anti-Cheatimplemented at launch.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2launches in October 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
