Warzone is a free to play Battle Royale game mode that connects both the Modern Warfare and Black Ops Call of Duty universes together for a new experience. Initially it was released as a free to play game mode under Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Then in July of 2020, Activision made Warzone it’s own game in the publisher’s library. Later that year, Treyarch released Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War on November 13th, 2020.
Then, Activision integrated both Black Ops and Modern Warfare universes together on December 16th, 2020 for one unified Call of Duty Warzone experience. Later in August of 2021, Call of Duty announced Vanguard and with it a new map for Warzone. They also revealed that COD Vanguard would be integrated with Warzone in the same way that the previous two Call of Duty titles are integrated. The biggest news is that Activision and Raven Studios plan to release their first anti-cheat software with the release of Vanguard.
