Call of Duty DMZ mode confirmed

gamesradar.com:

A Call of Duty DMZ mode will drop with Warzone 2.0 this November. Activision has finally confirmed the highly anticipated mode is coming after months of rumors and leaks. Billed as an "all-new sandbox experience", DMZ will arrive simultaneously with Warzone 2.0's November 16 launch. 

We don't have many official details about the mode just yet, but if we compare it to the Escape from Tarkov mode upon which it's likely based, we can make some educated guesses. Players may be dropped into larger maps - potentially the new Warzone 2.0 map, Al Mazrah - and have to acquire loot for extraction while trying to avoid/fight off enemy teams. You'll likely also have to contend with the new enemy AI factions that will be a part of the map, as well.

Once we get more details about the DMZ mode, we'll update you accordingly, but at least we can officially confirm it's coming to the Call of Duty franchise. When substantial leaks started popping up this past May, leakers were getting hit with DMCA takedowns faster than I die in the gulag, which was more than enough to keep the rumor mill going. 

One of the rumors was that DMZ was going to be in Modern Warfare 2, but it's now clear that it's launching with Warzone 2.0. Both games are running on the same, new engine that will be used for all Call of Duty games going forward. Since the DMZ mode and Warzone 2.0 share an engine with Modern Warfare 2, you might want to check out the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta for a feel for the guns and gameplay changes. That water-based combat is a real game changer.
