Call of Duty: Warzone (renamed to Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera following the release of Warzone 2.0 in November of last year) originally released alongside 2019's Modern Warfare, and shared a battle pass, weapons, and cosmetics. Even though the first version Warzone is shutting down, its original map, Verdansk, hasn't been playable for quite some time. Currently, the Pacific-based map Caldera is the only map playable in the original Warzone, hence the game's current name.
None of the purchasable content usable in Warzone Caldera carries over to Warzone 2.0. Activision states that players interested in using the content they purchased for Warzone Caldera will still be able to do so in the multiplayer modes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, 2020's Black Ops Cold War, and 2021's Vanguard.
The announcement comes not long after Activision rebranded Warzone 2.0 as simply Warzone for the game's fourth season, a change that went live on June 14. Activision is encouraging fans who played the original Warzone to jump ship.
