Activision odděluje Warzone od vydání Call of Duty

call of duty warzone 2.0 image

Když si stáhnete Call of Duty, nebudete muset současně stahovat i Warzone. Podle nového příspěvku společnosti Activision vydavatel oznámil, že do budoucna oddělí Warzone od her Call of Duty.

„Abychom hráčům umožnili větší kontrolu nad tím, co stahují, oddělujeme stahování hry Call of Duty: Warzone od ostatních titulů,“ uvedla společnost Activision. „Když si zakoupíte roční titul, budete ve výchozím nastavení stahovat pouze soubory pro tuto hru.“

To znamená, že pokud si chcete stáhnout hru Warzone, musíte ji stáhnout zvlášť. Nejenže se tím zkrátí doba stahování hry Call of Duty, než si ji budete moci zahrát, ale také se uvolní hlavní prostor na vašich úložných zařízeních.

„Důležitá je flexibilita a možnost volby,“ uvedli. „Chceme dát hráčům možnost volby stáhnout si každou hru Call of Duty, včetně Call of Duty: Warzone, kdy a jak chtějí.“

K tomuto oddělení dojde od středy 21. srpna. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 vychází 25. října a bude první hrou v sérii, která vyjde Day One na Xbox Game Pass.

Activision bans over 65,000 Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 cheaters

Activision has banned over 65,000 players across Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

The bans rolled out in the last few hours, purging thousands of "cheating and boosting" players from both Ranked and non-Ranked play alike.

"The Ricochet Anti-Cheat team has now purged the Ranked Play leaderboards in both Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, banning accounts for cheating and boosting," Team Ricochet – the cheating enforcement team – said.

Mapa ‘Avalon’ pro Call of Duty: Warzone 2025 unikla na internet

warzone

Nedávno se objevila řada úniků, které odhalily nespočet informací o hře Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, včetně map, režimů, killstreaků, mechanik pohybu a dalších. Hra, která má vyjít v říjnu, se díky těmto únikům dostala do širšího povědomí, ale Activision se snaží sdílení obrázků na internetu zabránit, vydává proti nim bany a klipy a obrázky stahuje ze sociálních sítí.

Jeden konkrétní únik, který fanoušky nadchl, byl screenshot pořízený na mapě, která zjevně patří battle royale režimu Warzone. Tento obrázek (který byl nyní společností Activision stažen) ukazuje „Avalon“, mapu Warzone, která vyjde později v roce 2025.

Nejprve návrat do Verdansku

Už za pár měsíců se vrátíme do Verdansku, poprvé od prosince 2021 – pokud nepočítáme Warzone Mobile. Zatím není známo, zda půjde o předělávku klasické mapy, nebo jen o návrat do původní mapy, ale to ukáže čas. Očekává se, že pro hráčskou základnu půjde o nový impulz k návratu do hry. Tuto mapu by měli mít hráči k dispozici v roce 2025.

Avalon

Interní kódové označení rozsáhlé mapy, která přijde po Verdansku, se nedávno objevilo v únicích.

Kromě uvedeného klipu jsme viděli také ukázku, která ukazuje hráče letícího vysoko nad mapou, což nám poskytlo širší pohled na celou krajinu. Od výběžku menších ostrovů oddělených vodou až po jakési centrum města, které nabízí městskou lokaci uprostřed převážně venkovské mapy, to vypadá, že toto prostředí je dost podobné Caldeře.

avalon leaked image 600x453 1

Jak hráč prochází mapou, vidíme satelitní stanice a vojenská zařízení spolu s obytnými čtvrtěmi, přístavní oblastí a několika starými, zničenými zajímavými místy. Je zde i trocha zemědělské půdy, golfové hřiště a obrovský stadion.

The 'out of region' areas in this MP map look awfully detailed.

Almost as if it's really part of a bigger map…

Like a Warzone map? 👀 pic.twitter.com/42ZdOaYobx

Byl to jednoduchý obrázek, který zobrazoval hráče stojícího na jakémsi malém ostrově u pobřeží poněkud zamlženého, možná venkovského místa. Fanoušci rychle poukázali na to, že nová mapa má spoustu vody a otevřeného prostoru, což není něco, co by ve Warzone mapě aktivně vyhledávali – ale to je Avalon.

Očekává se, že Avalon dorazí v prosinci 2025 s jakoukoli další hrou Call of Duty.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 se stalo obětí masivních úniků - INDIAN

Masivní úniky postihly Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Na X unikly obrázky a videa ukazující nové mapy, zbraně, režimy a pohybové mechaniky. Activision rychle reagoval a obsah byl stažen ze sociálních sítí.

Uživatel betterthanalaix je nový účet, který pravděpodobně vznikl jen za účelem sdílet uniklý obsah. Jak se k němu dostal, je neznámé. Na obrázky a video se už z jeho účtu nepodíváme, ale samozřejmě není vyloučeno, že se ještě někde neobjeví.

Podle popisků u příspěvků se obsah týkal zejména nových map, kterých je celkem dvacet. Jejich kompletní seznam byl první příspěvek leakera. Některé mapy se už objevily v jiných dílech.

  • Vorkuta Mine
  • Vorkuta
  • Catacomb
  • Flat
  • Dig
  • Babylon
  • Train Graveyard
  • Russian Base
  • Socotra 2

Activision během jednoho týdne zabanoval 65 tisíc cheaterů v Call of Duty - INDIAN

Call of Duty má problém s cheatery. Platí to jak o loňském Modern Warfare 3, tak i o free-to-play Warzone. V příspěvku na X Activision oznámil, že tento týden v obou hrách dostalo ban přes 65 tisíc cheaterů.

Tým spadající pod iniciativu Ricochet, která ve hrách Call of Duty bojuje proti podvádění, zaútočil na účty jak v kompetitivních, tak nekompetitivních režimech. Problémem byly nejen cheaty, ale i boosting, praktika, kde zkušený a schopný hráč hraje na účtu nezkušeného hráče a tím zvyšuje hodnotu jeho účtu. „Tým bude dále monitorovat a potlačovat cheating a boosting ve všech herních módech,“ píše se v příspěvku.

Odpovědi pod zprávou jsou skeptické. Někteří tvrdí, že nic nezastaví cheatery, aby si ihned nezaložili další účet. Jiným zase číslo přijde moc nízké a apelují na Activision, ať se snaží více. Uživatel ZOTROZA kritizuje banování ve vlnách.

Nevypadá to, že by Ricochet byl automatizován, chce to ihned vylepšit,“ píše. Tvrdí, že by se Activision měl inspirovat například u Valorantu a jeho služby Vanguard.

MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded: Release date, final Zombies mission, and new weapons

MW3 and Warzone Season 5 key art

Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5 has already kicked off with a bang, bringing the world of WWE to Call of Duty. But the real excitement is yet to come with the mid-season update on the horizon. Here's when to expect the MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded release, including an inside look into upcoming features.

When does Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded come out?

According to the battle pass, MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded will launch on Aug. 21, 2024. It will likely debut sometime around 9 a.m. PT, given that past seasons have been released at this timeframe.

Preloads for MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded will be available the day before or a few hours prior to launch. This convenient feature ensures that you can jump right into the action as soon as the update is live. Since it's a Reloaded patch, it shouldn't require too much space, but it's always a good idea to clear out some room for the next update.

MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded features

Season 5 Reloaded showcases two new weapons: the Spear and Torque 35. The first tool excels in close-quarters combat as a melee weapon that can be thrown from a distance. But if a spear isn't quite your style, participate in the Weekly Challenges to get the bow and arrow Torque 35. Both weapons harness the ability to pin enemies to the wall to inflict a ton of damage.

New Aftermarket Parts and events will also arrive for MW3 and Warzone. However, a few upcoming features are only for specific modes. We'll divide them up to give you a better picture of each one.

Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3's mid-season update introduces a new map variant, Ink House. The same cel-shaded treatment seen in Toonoxide and Celship will be shown here, switching up the visuals of the iconic Shoot House.

New game modes will also be a part of Reloaded, including the following challenges:

  • Fishfection: A unique spin to the classic Infected mode, where you can turn into a Fish Operator. Use a Compound Bow or Spear to avoid this from happening at all costs.
  • Paintball: All bullets are replaced with paint splatters, resulting in a one-shot kill. Play on small maps and participate in standard modes such as Kill Confirmed or Capture the Flag.
  • Defuse or Destroy: A Search and Destroy mode where a bomb will activate upon start.

MW3 Zombies

The final MW3 Zombies story mission is on its way for Season 5 Reloaded, concluding the overall narrative for the mode. Venture into a new Dark Aether Rift and take down the last Zombies boss.

You'll have several new Schematics to try out, including the highly anticipated Stash Increase. That means your inventory will be extended to 30, giving you a nice amount of space for your extra gear. Then, there's the Disciple Bottle, an item with the ability to summon a friendly Disciple. The Grenade Bandolier is the last Schematic for the season, which automatically replenishes your Lethal and Tactical equipment gradually.

Warzone

Warzone Season 5 Reloaded features the return of Supreme Resurgence in Rebirth Island. Loot around this map to claim powerful weapon blueprints with camo designs. Those who win the first match earn their right to the Spilled Beans Weapon Camo.

Look out for the new Elite Contracts for even more rewards. These tasks will be much more grueling than standard Contracts, as their time limits will be reduced. Complete them to collect gifts, like Foresight Killstreak, Specialist Perk Package, and Advanced UAV.

Activision revive Warzone's Caldera map as open source (yay!) but say it's to help train AI (booo)

Hardened battle royalists will remember Caldera, the sandy island map of bunkers and palm trees in Call Of Duty: Warzone. It got shut down last year as Activision focused their efforts elsewhere, making the map unplayable. But you can now revisit those bullet-strewn beaches. In theory, anyway. Activision have released it as a 4GB open-source project that can be explored in a 3D model-viewing tool. That's cool. But among their reasons for doing so, there lies a predictably grubby logic: they want people to use the data to train AI.

Call of Duty follows Fortnite in adding Fallout skins, out this week

Look, who knows when we’ll see Fallout 5 - there’s an increasingly less-than-zero chance we’ll all be living in a real post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland by the time Bethesda get around to revealing anything, if their deliberately slow approach to The Elder Scrolls 6 (it’s been nearly THIRTEEN years since Skyrim) is much to go by. Still, even without a full sequel, Fallout is all around us - in multiple seasons of a television show, in Fortnite, and now in Call of Duty.

MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded: release date, new game modes, and weapon expansions

MW3 and Warzone Season 4

Now that we've spent some in Season 4's initial phase, it's time to gear up for the mid-season update. Here's when MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded releases, and what to expect.

When does MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded start?

Based on the Battle Pass duration, MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is expected to come out on June 26, 2024. Although the date and timing have yet to be confirmed, it will likely debut at 9 a.m. PT/11 a.m. CST/12 p.m. EST.

With the Reloaded patch, the update size should be a manageable amount of space, typically around 18 to 25 GB. A pre-load should be available the day before the launch to ensure you're fully prepared. This way, you can dive right into the action as soon as it's live.

What to expect in MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded

The MW3 and Warzone Season 4 roadmap gives us a glimpse into what to expect for its Reloaded release. We'll break down each category to give you an idea of upcoming features.

MW3 Multiplayer maps

Multiplayer is set to introduce two new 6v6 core maps: Incline and Das Gross. Incline will take you high above the mountains of Urzikstan in a medium-sized map, perfect for mid-range loadouts. And if that's not enough, Das Gross will transform Das Haus into an alien nightmare, adding a whole new twist to your gaming experience.

MW3 game modes

Havoc mode returns in Season 4 to change up the classic dynamics of Team Deathmatch. You may remember this entry from Modern Warfare 2's Season 5 launch, where you'll be rewarded with various modifiers throughout the match. In particular, Operators can equip the Camera Shift ability to change to third-person mode.

Another upcoming game mode will also unleash a new wave of Team Deathmatch content with Headshots Only. The challenge is pretty self-explanatory, in which players can only get kills when aiming for an Operator's head.

MW3 Zombies Unstable Rift

Unfortunately, not much is planned for MW3 Zombies, as it only features one new challenge. Players can tackle the Unstable Rift Exclusion Zone to earn more rewards and wipe out hordes of zombies. The quest can be replayed as many times as you want, and weapon/schematic cooldowns will be refreshed each time.  

Warzone weapons and events

Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded content has been shrouded in mystery, with a few updates garnering a 'Redacted' title. What we do know, however, is that rare weaponry will be available in Loot Hot Zones or Bunkers. The guns in question haven't been revealed yet, so we'll need to wait until more Reloaded information comes out. Plus, Bunkers will be receiving an update of their own, increasing enemy activity within its radius.

Other than the exclusive weapons, the Runaway Train Public Event will begin during Season 4 Reloaded. Use the train to get around Urzikstan quickly, but be mindful of enemy Operators who also have the same goal in mind.

New weaponry

The Superi 46 and KAR98K have already become some of the most powerful guns in Season 4. However, Reloaded will introduce new weapons that could take over their spot. This includes the Reclaimer 18 Shotgun and Sledgehammer Melee Weapon. While Reclaimer 18 was previously shown in Black Ops Cold War, the Sledgehammer is a brand-new weapon that packs a 20-pound head.

Other content will presumably arrive for Season 4 Reloaded, but for now, these are the confirmed features from the roadmap. We also can't forget the upcoming Aftermarket Parts from Weekly Challenges, such as the Jak Volkh, Jak Thumber-656, and Jak Intimidator.

Activision wins £11.3m in lawsuit against Call of Duty cheat maker

A federal court has awarded Activision £11.3m ($14.4m) after it ruled in favour of the publisher's lawsuit against cheat makers EngineOwning and Garnatz Enterprise Ltd, and 11 individual people.

As spotted by VentureBeat, the lawsuit, which was filed at the beginning of 2022, accuses the companies and individuals – Valentin Rick, Leonard Bugla, Leon Frisch, Marc-Alexander Richts, Alexander Kleeman, Leon Schlender, Bennet Huch, Ricky Szameitat, Remo Loffler, Charlie Wiest and Pascal Classen – of profiting from cheats and giving an unfair competitive advantage to players prepared to pay for auto-aim and auto-fire software cheats.

At the time, Activision said it sought "to put a stop to unlawful conduct by an organisation that is distributing and selling for profit numerous malicious software products designed to enable members of the public to gain unfair competitive advantages", and described EngineOwning as a "German business entity... engaged in the development, sale, distribution, marketing, and exploitation of a portfolio of malicious cheats and hacks for popular online multiplayer games, most prominently the COD Games".

Call of Duty is getting in the (Gundam) robot

The classic anime series Gundam examines the traumatic experience of war, particularly the unalterable effect it has on those young soldiers forced to participate in the horrors of fighting for their life while taking the lives of others using weapons of inhuman strength and devastation. Which clearly makes it the perfect fit for a bit of upcoming DLC for military-fetishising interactive gun range Call of Duty.

Activision Still Aiming to Release Urzikstan Warzone Battle Royale Ranked in 2024

Since the Urzikstan map was released for Warzone in late 2023, fans have been waiting for ranked to return. It was most recently mentioned in February in a blog post about Season 2 on the Call of Duty site. It was light on details; all it had to say was that it would come later this year. After three months of silence, while fans have been asking on Reddit and Twitter, there is finally a new update.

Call of Duty-focused outlet Charlie Intel shared in a tweet that Activision promised Ranked was still coming in a call with creators. However, while this is still a confirmation, it is still in the works. The only downside is that Activision didn’t announce a possible date. Instead, they once again give it the “later this year” release window. That might not be completely what was wanted, but at least Activision knows players still want it.

All Storm Chasers rewards and how to get them fast in Warzone Mobile

Warzone Mobile Operators

Warzone Mobile's Storm Chasers event unveils a collection of electrifying rewards. Unlike some Call of Duty items, these unique gifts can be earned entirely for free. Here's a sneak peek into Storm Chasers rewards and how to get them fast in Warzone Mobile.

How to earn Storm Chasers rewards fast in Warzone Mobile

Strategically earning Event Points (EP) or High Voltage Badges is the key to unlocking rewards in the Warzone Mobile Storm Chasers event. While you can play any Battle Royale or Multiplayer Playlist to earn them, mastering a few efficient methods can significantly speed up your progress. Explore these tactics to boost EP in Warzone Mobile:

  • Participate in High Voltage mode
  • Get Zapped in High Voltage
  • Use Tactical Boosts
  • Have two UAV towers activated at the same time
  • Open Supply Boxes
  • Open two Supply Boxes with Speed Boost in 30 seconds
  • Complete Contracts
  • Have a squad activate two towers in less than ten seconds
  • Deal 50 damage in Multiplayer
  • Get eliminations with Fire Boost

Even though you can play any mode for the Storm Chasers event, starting with High Voltage is best. It's a 10-minute round where the last team standing wins. Lightning bolts will strike you here, earning you the 'Get Zapped' objective. Not only will it provide Operators with EP, but it will also grant them a free perk. Specifically, the Speed Boost can be activated, which is perfect for the next objective of opening two Supply Boxes. 

High Voltage in Warzone Mobile

Most tasks in the Event Action section are relatively easy to complete, especially activating UAV Towers. The three objectives, Get Zapped, Eliminations with Fire Boost, and Contract, will also lend out Tactical Boosts. These boosts are temporary enhancements to get more EP quickly. However, Contracts take up more time than any other objective. 

Remember, the Warzone Mobile Storm Chasers event is a limited-time opportunity, set to conclude on May 16, 2024. So, ensure you amass enough EP before this thrilling event draws to a close. 

All Storm Chasers rewards in Warzone Mobile

Players can earn the following rewards in the Warzone Mobile Storm Chasers event:

Levels Required Event Points Rewards Reward Previews
1 400 EP Electrifying Dive Calling Card Electrifying Dive in Warzone Mobile
2 4,000 EP High-Voltage Badge High Voltage Badge in Warzone Mobile

8 250,000 EP High-Voltage Badge High Voltage Badge in Warzone Mobile
9 330,000 EP Blistering Thunder Sniper Rifle Blistering Thunder Sniper Rifle in Warzone Mobile

You can use the High Voltage Badges in the Event Store to get even more rewards. For instance, five badges earn you the Lightning Burnout Vehicle Skin.

MW3 and Warzone Vortex Virus Mainframe event rewards and start date

Virus

Vortex Vi.Rus mainframe is the next event in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Here is everything we know about the upcoming new challenges, including reward predictions.

MW3 and Warzone Season 3 is well underway. The devs have already treated fans to a Gozilla x Kong crossover event and High Trip to celebrate 4/20. We still have some time before the mid-season update goes live, so Vortex: Virus Mainframe will help bridge that gap.

MW3 & Warzone Vortex: Virus Mainframe event start date

Vortex Virus Mainframe begins on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST

If players haven't unlocked all of the free rewards for Blaze Up, you only have a few days left, as the event also ends on this date. And for everyone who has enjoyed the High Trip Resurgence game mode, that mode will also be removed once Vortex Virus Mainframe starts.

It hasn’t been confirmed how long the latest Vortex event will last, but given that the Season 3 mid-season update is scheduled to start on May 1, Vortex Virus Mainframe will most likely be around for one week.

MW3 & Warzone Vortex: Virus Mainframe reward predictions

Like other events in the past, Vortex: Virus Mainframe rewards are earned by accumulating XP. The fastest way to earn XP is through using double XP tokens, playing Warzone, or jumping into small-map playlists in multiplayer that are relatively easy to get kills in. And, if you want to speed up the grind, a bonus 1000 XP will also be awarded for each match completed with the Bacillus skin equipped, which can only be obtained by purchasing the Vi.Rus Ultra Skin Tracer Pack.

Activision has yet to reveal the official rewards, but we expect it to resemble previous challenges. With that in mind, here is the likely list of prizes.

  • Calling Cards
  • Emblems
  • Weapon Stickers
  • Large Decals
  • Weapon Charms
  • Double XP Tokens

Best MW2 SMG loadout for Warzone MW3 Season 3

Best MW2 SMG loadout for Warzone Season 3

Finding the best loadout in Warzone is the only way to ensure you're winning gunfights. For some, pinpointing the right weapon is a nearly impossible task, especially if you don't own Modern Warfare 3. If you do own the previous Call of Duty installment, Modern Warfare 2, there is an SMG that's viable on the battlefield.

What is the best MW2 SMG for Warzone?

For season 3 of Warzone in the Modern Warfare 3 era, the best MW2 SMG is the FSS Hurricane. It was always a decent option, but it's currently able to compete with some of the meta options. No, it's not meta, and certainly won't beat the HRM everyone is using right now. However, it provides consistent and easy accuracy, a fast time-to-kill, and excellent mobility.

If you don't have MW3 guns leveled up, or just want a huge change of pace from all the MW3 weapons, the FSS Hurricane is a good choice. With the newly unlockable JAK Cutthroat stock, it's a whole new gun.

Call of Duty: Warzone se ve třetí sezóně dočká možnosti hrát s boty

Společnost Activision odhalila, že třetí sezóna her Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 a Warzone přinese možnost hrát hru proti botům. Nový režim Bootcamp, který je vylepšením tréninkového kurzu z druhé sezóny, umožní čtyřčlenným týmům trénovat proti botům v Urzikstánu ve hře Call of Duty: Warzone.

Režim s boty umožní postavit do fronty až 20 různých hráčů ve vlastním matchmakingovém režimu. Jelikož režim umožňuje pouze čtyřčlenné týmy, hráči se mohou do fronty zařadit buď jako celá skupina, nebo se rozhodnout pro zařazení do fronty prostřednictvím fill-squad.

Ačkoli mód pravděpodobně hráčům docela pomůže při učení se hře a zorientování se na mapě, režim Bootcamp neumožní hráčům postupovat v různých denních a týdenních výzvách Call of Duty ani v dalších herních úkolech.

Vydání třetí sezóny hry Call of Duty: Modern Warfare a Warzone je naplánováno na 3. dubna. Vzhledem k tomu, že Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile byla nedávno vydána také pro systémy iOS a Android, bude třetí sezóna také první sezónou pro mobilní hráče.

Sezóna s sebou přinese i další obsah, včetně nových zbraní, map a odměn, které bude možné získat v různých herních režimech.

Warzone players may want to avoid interrogating until a known bug is fixed

Call of Duty Warzone interrogating may cause bug

Interrogating enemies in Call of Duty: Warzone is a useful tactic to locate the enemy team. Like using Caveira in Rainbow Six: Siege, a downed player can be interrogated to reveal their teammates' location. However, right now, the mechanic is causing a game-breaking bug that's probably not worth the risk. Better to hold off and find those enemy locations the old fashioned way.

Interrogating in Warzone can prevent you from swapping weapons

According to a recent post from Call of Duty Updates on Twitter, an issue is under investigation where interrogating downed enemy players can prevent you from swapping weapons. The developer Trello board says the bug is active in Battle Royale, Resurgence, Plunder, and Lockdown game modes. The investigation began on Thursday, March 7.

Until the developers provide an update on the status of this bug, it might be worth not interrogating anyone. Swapping weapons is a rather important ability for many reasons. As such, the few seconds of locating an enemy's teammates probably isn't worth the risk. Especially in Battle Royale, where you can't exactly just die and reset very easily.

In other game modes, like Resurgence, there are better methods of pinging enemies on your radar. For those unaware, killing an enemy in Resurgence game modes automatically pings the rest of their team on your radar for a few seconds. As such, it's incredibly useful for players who move around and hunt for kills a lot. Flying around Fortune's Keep in the castle or another close-quarters map is much easier to survive if you know where your dead enemies' friends are.

Interestingly, players’ reactions may surprise you.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile gets global iOS and Android launch this March

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, the iOS and Android version of Activision Blizzard's battle royale hit, is officially getting its worldwide launch on 21st March following a limited release in select counties over the course of the last year.

Warzone Mobile, which is being developed by Activision's Digital Legends, Beenox, Shanghai, and Solid State studios, initially launched in Australia back in November 2022. Following its roll-out across a number of other countries, Activision announced it would be getting its full release in autumn last year - but plans changed in October, when the publisher confirmed it had made the decision to postpone its launch to "spring" 2024 in order to "polish up" the experience.

With Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile's worldwide release now locked down to 21st March, Activision has started talking specifics, confirming the game will launch with two maps: Verdansk - which supports 120-player battle royale matches - and Rebirth Island, which supports 48-player battle royale matches using Gulag-free Resurgence rules.
