Call of Duty Warzone has enjoyed a great deal of time in the limelight as one of the best competitive FPS games out there. Boasting some of the best gunplay out of any shooter on the market, players have continued to flock to Raven Software’s game, despite the numerous issues it has faced since its arrival in 2020.
While most of the best battle royales have chopped and changed maps, weapons, and core gameplay elements over the years, Warzone has generally been more conservative in its approach. However, rumours and reports have now begun to circulate that Raven Software isn’t just planning a big shake up for the game over the next couple of years – the studio is planning a brand new Warzone sequel altogether.
While details are sparing right now, we’ve put together everything there is to know about Warzone’s potential successor, including a rough timescale for the Call of Duty Warzone 2 release date, as well as any Warzone 2 leaks that have surfaced.
So without further ado, let’s get into the latest Call of Duty Warzone 2 developments.
Call of Duty Warzone 2 release date speculation
When is Warzone 2 coming? Call of Duty Warzone 2’s release date is expected sometime in 2023.
A report from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier revealed that Activision is set to release the next three CoD games on PlayStation, despite the publisher being acquired by Microsoft in a monster $69 billion deal. Within the same report, Schreier says Warzone 2 will arrive next year.
NEW: Activision is committed to releasing at least the next three Call of Duty games on PlayStation even after the Xbox acquisition, according to people familiar with the deal. That's COD2022, COD2023, and Warzone 2 (in 2023). After that, it's hazier https://t.co/OpWE7Tk9KV
