Call of Duty Next has shared the first official Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 details, along with Activision’s vision for the future of the franchise as three new games are on the horizon. The newest Warzone iteration was the most anticipated reveal, though, and ultimately delivered with a lot of new details for the fans.
Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 is releasing on Friday, Nov. 16, 2022, and is staying free-to-play. The original game represents a foundation for the devs at Infinity Ward to work upon, but the gameplay experience will be completely fresh and ambitious. Despite the early rumors, Warzone 2.0 is still coming to last-gen consoles, with PS4 and Xbox One players served alongside PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Battle.net and Steam.
Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 is set in the desert this time around, in a fictional region Western Asia called Al Mazrah.
A new sandbox experience called DMZ is coming day one, together with confirmed anti-cheat Ricochet system and a new circles feature, with more of them popping up at the same time in order to shake up end-game scenarios.
There will also be a new AI-controlled faction, with higher stakes and more realistic combat scenarios for the players. Then there’s Gulag 2.0, where you’ll be tasked with fighting in 2v2 duels, looting weapons, and facing the fearsome Jailer for more options and surprises.
New social features are also on their way, and that will especially be relevant when looking at the incoming Warzone Mobile, shipping in 2023.
