Mercenaries of Fortune will be another season of change for Call of Duty®: Vanguard and WarzoneTM in an already action-packed year.
Once again, all of Warzone’s studios contributed greatly to this update, set to go live on June 22 at 9 AM.
Among them, we want to highlight High Moon Studios, who contributed to every PC Call of Duty® release since 2013, and most recently aided in Caldera’s creation and upkeep. For this year of Warzone, they were given a key assignment:
“Our goal was to create a new ‘Rebirth Island’ sized map that featured Resurgence gameplay and provided diverse new locations to battle it out in,” said Matt Krystek, Creative Director at High Moon Studios. “We wanted to create an island that had a timeless feel that was as fun to explore as it was to shoot in.”
To kick off this new season, the studio’s map — Fortune’s Keep — will be in Warzone as the featured Resurgence experience, splitting time with Rebirth Island to give tactically minded Operators a new battleground to discover and master.
There will also be significant changes to Caldera: a reduction in foliage and visibility improvements, a reintroduction of a memorable point of interest in Storage Town, other point of interest updates, and several new items, including the return of keycards for new bunkers.
