New Warzone leak hints at Activision’s plan to lure frustrated Call of Duty fans to their widely hyped 2022 release

Call of Duty fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Modern Warfare II, which is just days away. In addition, fans are also looking forward to Call of Duty: Warzone 2. However, the release of Warzone 2 raises the question of what will happen to the first game.

It’s been over two years since the release of Warzone. It was the first battle royale and free-to-play in the CoD franchise. The players showered the game with love. Now the game is in its final season and many are wondering about the future of the game after the release of the sequel. However, there are some hopeful updates about the future of Warzone.

Will Call of Duty: Warzone be canceled after the launch of the sequel?

Fans are hyped for Call of Duty: Warzone 2. However, everyone was concerned about the inability to carry over game data from the first game to the sequel. So, most players thought they had to start over with the Warzone sequel. However, that doesn’t mean players will lose their old data and won’t be able to enjoy it.

Recently, Call of Duty insider and journalist Tom Henderson uncovered that the original Warzone will not shut down after the sequel comes out. Instead, Activision plans to change the name and continue the game. Also, it will keep getting new updates and DLCs. The possible new name would be Warzone caldera.

The new name for the original Warzone game has also sparked some new speculation. Some believe Activision might remove it Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep from the original game to encourage players to transition to the Warzone sequel.

However, Activision or other developers have not officially announced anything about these updates. There’s a Call of Duty Next event coming soon to introduce Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2. So Activision might have something to say about that rumored update there.

What do fans have to say about the news at Warzone?

Call of Duty fans had a unique reaction to the leak. Most fans claimed keeping the original Warzone alive was a waste as nobody will be playing after the sequel’s release. Also, some fans speculated that the game would only have the Caldera playlist, which didn’t impress them. Let’s look at some fan reactions.
