The release date for Modern Warfare 2 was revealed to be on October 28, leaving Warzone series fans trying to figure out the time the second part of the famous battle royale would be available to the public.
Reports suggest the game is on course to be released on November 16, 2022.
?Activision previously revealed that Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 were both being worked on with the same engine. The esports games developer also disclosed its intention of using the upcoming Call of Duty event to give more information about Warzone 2.
Both pieces of information seemed to suggest that the anticipated second iteration of the COD esports game would be available not long after Warfare 2 was to be released.
?The unconfirmed information released to the public indicated that the assumption was accurate, and the release date of Warzone 2 was not far off.
The circulated image from Activision��s leaked document revealed that the game would be released on November 16. The news has spread past the thrilled Call of Duty fans to several social media platforms.
?A popular Call of Duty page, CharlieIntel, reposted the information in the Warzone community on their official Twitter account. If the information has truth to it, then gamers would be able to get Warzone 2 less than a month after Modern Warfare is officially released.

?Unlike the problems fans faced when Warzone Pacific was released in the last holiday season, the leaked dates for Warzone 2 signified that they would have an easier time now. The dates indicate that before leaving for their Christmas holiday, the developers on the task would be given ample time to sort out bugs or any other problems that could occur during or after the launch. This would ensure that players do not encounter problems that they would be forced to endure until after the holiday.
?Modern Warfare 2 and WarZone 2 will have a space of three weeks between their release dates, and this will ensure that the players have time to stock up on weapons. This could possibly help their performance during the battle royale.?The game Call of Duty Warzone was initially made as an extension of Modern Warfare.
The developers originally did not intend to make the game an independent battle royale.?As a result of this, Warzone 2 started having development issues concerning its already large size. Due to the already bloated nature, Warzone 2 was not a sustainable game.

?To change this, developers are working to build the game from the roots up as an independent battle royale. This will give players a smoother and longer playtime with fewer crashes and bugs.
]]>The update was revealed through the company’s Q1 financial report. Sadly, it also revealed that Activision Blizzard has been facing a decline in sales and engagement, up to the tune of $500 million.
Warzone has gradually grown to be a significant part of the battle royale ecosystem, which makes the announcement a lot more intriguing. Perhaps it could be the boost the organization needs to increase engagement and stop the bleeding in terms of decline in sales.
Excerpts from the reports give an insight into how the development is proceeding, and also reveals that there is another title in the works.
“The Call of Duty teams delivered substantial gameplay improvements for Vanguard and Warzone in the first quarter. Development on this year��s premium and Warzone experiences, led by Infinity Ward, is proceeding very well,” the report said.
“This year��s Call of Duty is a sequel to 2019��s Modern Warfare, the most successful Call of Duty title to date, and will be the most advanced experience in franchise history. The new free-to-play Warzone experience, which is built from the ground-up alongside the premium game, features groundbreaking innovations to be revealed later this year.”
Based on the report, Activision will also be releasing the sequel to its most successful title to date, the 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Industry insiders speculate that Modern Warfare 2 will officially be revealed on May 30, but Activision has not confirmed or revealed a timeline for the release.
These new titles will undoubtedly be a breath of fresh air for players, as it promises to create a more competitive scene in COD. Warzone has provided entirely new maps in some of its updates, which suggests that we could see more of the same in Warzone 2.
However, the biggest change to expect is the new engine on which the game is being built. It will not be simply an upgrade, which could significantly affect the overall gameplay like movement and gunplay.
Warzone is currently being used in the 2022 Mid-season Resurgence, as 20 teams are battling it out for a piece of the $100,000 prize pool.
As for Modern Warfare, the last time it was used in console events was in the Call of Duty League – 2020 playoffs. The event ran from August 19 to August 30, 2020, with Dallas Empire emerging as the winner and walking away with $1.5 million of the $4.6 million prize pool.
While there is no concrete information on what to expect from the new titles, it promises to be fun and has the potential to inspire a return for players and streamers who have left the game.
