The success ofWarzonein just two months is undeniable, and so is its counterpartCall of Duty: Modern Warfare.Warzoneis a standalone game, but can also be played inside ofModern Warfare,which is now the best-sellingCODgame ever. Activision is certainly thrilled with the success of both.
Even as players continue to drop into the crazy and fun brawls of the battle royale,fans have been frustrated with the current state ofModern WarfareandWarzone. Game breaking glitches are found routinely, progress for the battle pass and game progression has been deleted, and the servers have had issues where players simply cannot find a match. It seems like the problems with the games, and the subsequent outcry from the community, hasn’t negatively affected their success.
Activision and Infinity Ward will surely continue to supportWarzonemoving forward, as anew cold-war style mapcould be on the way. New updates are added frequently to the game, including guns, new contracts, and gameplay adjustments. So fans can expect more fun inWarzoneinto the near future.
Most implications also point toWarzonebeing supported through the nextCODgame, which is nice as recentlyActivision confirmed thatCall of Duty 2020is still on track. The idea would be that, even asModern WarfareandWarzoneare very connected now, whenMWis sunsetted,Warzonewould then be joined to the hip ofCall of Duty 2020.
The success of bothBlack Out(the battle royale that came alongsideBlack Ops 4) and nowWarzoneshows that this is probably only the beginning ofCall of Dutybattle royales. Sledgehammer is working hard on theCODgame that will arrive after Treyarch’s, and rumors already point toCall of Duty 2021having its own battle royaleas well.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
