Everything we know about Call of Duty Warzone 2.0: Gameplay changes, new map and more

pocket-lint.com:

(Pocket-lint) — The next generation of Call of Duty: Warzone is on the way, taking in huge upgrades over the current version and wiping the slate clean on progression and stats.

We know a decent amount about the game thanks to information from developer Infinity Ward, so here are all the key facts you need to know.

We don't have an exact release date for Warzone 2.0, but we do know that it's coming in 2022 — Infinity Ward confirmed as much while unveiling the first gameplay demo of Modern Warfare 2 at Summer Games Fest.

This is actually great news — given that MW2 will be arriving on 28 October, there was always a risk that Warzone 2.0 would be held back until early 2023 to avoid cannibalising the main game's success after its launch.

Instead, we'd anticipate that Warzone 2.0 will launch in late November or December, to give Modern Warfare 2 time to breathe, and to give Call of Duty's marketing team plenty of time to get the hype train into overdrive.

It's been confirmed that the next generation of Warzone won't be abandoning older consoles, despite hardcore fans' pleas — Infinity Ward has rightly pointed out that it would be abandoning by far the biggest slice of players if it gave up on the PS4 and Xbox One.

That means you can bank on Warzone 2.0 coming out on " rel=«noopener» target="_blank">PS5, " rel="" target="_blank">Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One and PC. We're hoping at the least that we'll get full native versions of the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, though, for improved performance and resolution.

The next version of Warzone will indeed retain the free-to-play status that made the first game such a smash hit — Activision would be crazy to rip up such a proven model.

That means you'll be able to play Warzone
