More and more famous names are reporting on Twitter and Co Call of Duty Warzone to word. Activision has probably given selected streamers and YouTubers an early look at Warzone 2. MyMMO tells you what we already know.
The Battle Royale CoD Warzone will apparently soon have a successor. At least that is the information currently circulating in the CoD community on Twitter. Well-known streamers, YouTubers and influencers have probably seen Warzone 2 in advance.
This is evidently confirmed the reports that Warzone 2, a successor to the Battle Royale, is in development. This new game is intended to circumvent persistent problems that cannot be technically improved. Warzone 2 should therefore represent a restart of the game on new and better hardware.
The information that was probably shown should be under embargo. Nevertheless, some information has already penetrated. MeinMMO summarizes them here for you
Update: The embargo on influencers has fallen. This article has been adjusted accordingly.
CoD Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 should come in 2022
After the embargo, CoD Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 were officially announced via the influencers. That was to be expected following the leaks. Apart from that, there is very little specific information.
The announced details of the influencers have now also been confirmed by the official Call of Duty Twitter account:
The following is known:
- The successors to Modern Warfare and Warzone are being developed by Infinity Ward.
- Both games get a new engine.

Warzone 2 should get FoV option for PS5 and Xbox
What is known? In a call to influencers, Activision not only confirmed Warzone 2, but also showed the game itself. Well-known insider Tom Henderson says so Twitter.
Beyond the officially announced information, more details regarding Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 are circulating on social media. However, since these have not yet been officially confirmed, you should treat all of them with caution:
- Warzone 2 is said to have been “developed ‘from the ground up’ due to issues with the original Warzone”. These problems probably stem from the integration with CoD Black Ops Cold War (via Twitter).
- With Warzone 2, consoles should finally get FoV settings that should go up to 120° FoV. That’s what the community wants urgent already for the current Warzone. Due to technical limitations, this should only be possible with a successor (via Twitter)
- It is highly likely that Warzone 2 will also get a next-gen version for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Warzone 2 should come with CoD Modern Warfare 2 appear. However, it is not clear whether this will happen right following the release of Modern Warfare 2, or like with Warzone 1, a little following the release of the ‘main CoD’ (via Twitter). It is currently unclear whether Warzone 2 should be released in 2022 or in 2023.
- There are unconfirmed hints that Infinity Ward might be responsible for Warzone 2. This is supported by a tweet from the developer, who probably reacts to the positive reactions of the influencers (via Twitter).
- Owners of a PS5 and Switch can probably breathe a sigh of relief: Despite Microsoft’s spectacular purchase from Activision Blizzard should CoD games not only continue to appear on PlayStation, but also on the Nintendo Switch.
It is striking that the influencers seem to agree: what they are said to have seen from Warzone 2 apparently really impressed them. For example, CharlieIntel writes on Twitter:
I have never been so excited and confident regarding the future of Call of Duty. I wish everyone a pleasant day.
