The title to be released in 2020 has yet to be officially announced, although Treyarch and Raven Software are working on its development.

Call of Duty: Warzone is here to stay. The free-to-play title developed by Infinity Ward, the creators of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, has no intention of saying goodbye when the new installment of the main saga goes on sale. What’s more, the objective is just the opposite. In an interview with GamesRadar, Design Director Geoff Smith has confirmed that his battle royale will evolve with content from the next Call of Duty.

“Although Warzone is closely tied to Modern Warfare, it was designed from the ground up as a standalone game,” he explains in the interview. “As the title continues to update over time, it will evolve and strengthen ties with other games in the Call of Duty universe.” In this way, the strategy that Activision carried out with Blackout, the first experiment in the saga with the battle royale genre, is put aside to give the product greater continuity over time.

Verdansk will never be the same.
