Call of Duty: Modern Warfarefans have been anxious to learn more about the game’s battle royale mode for months, only for Activision and Infinity Ward to keep things mostly under wraps. However, a number of leaks and in-game bugs have more or less confirmed that theModern WarfareWarzone battle royale mode is set to launch any day now, though the jury is out as to which day specifically. Even so, fans think that they’ve found a new easter egg on the Bazaar Gunfight map that may reveal the Warzone release date.
As pointed out by Twitter account Call of Duty Warzone News, theBazaar Gunfight maphas a crate with a crinkled map taped to it. The numbers 03/03 is written underneath the map, which has been one of the theorized Warzone battle royale release dates. Nothing official has been announced just yet, but it’s certainly within the realm of possibility that Infinity Ward will release theModern WarfareWarzone battle royale mode as early as March 3.

It should be noted that this crate isn’t the only item inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare that has the March 3 date written on it. On thePiccadilly map, there is a movie poster advertising a film calledWar Beastthat has a March 3 release date. This could all be a coincidence, but some fans definitely think that this is Infinity Ward’s way of hinting at the Warzone battle royale release date.
There is another date that has been heavily rumored as well though, so fans shouldn’t be circling their calendars just yet. While it’s certainly possible thatModern Warfare’s Warzone battle royale modewill launch on March 3, the other date that’s been mentioned a lot is Tuesday, March 10. But since neither Activision nor Infinity Ward have actually offered any information either way, all fans can do at this time is speculate.
If theCall of Duty: Modern WarfareWarzone battle royale mode is set to launch on March 3 or March 10, then more information should come sooner rather than later.Infinity Wardmay opt to stealth-launch the mode, but one has to imagine that it will want to drum up a bit of fanfare first, so it’s likely that an announcement will come beforehand.
Whatever the case may be, the Warzone battle royale mode should only serve to makeCall of Duty: Modern Warfarean even more feature-rich experience. Players still have plenty of new content to look forward to when it comes to the standard multiplayer mode, if theModern WarfareSeason 2 road mapis any indication.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
