Call of Duty leaker claims WWII-era Warzone map won\u2019t arrive until 2022 ActivisionWhile Sledgehammer Games is reportedly taking us back to the WWII-era with the 2021 Call of Duty release, new leaks suggest that a tie-in Warzone map won\u2019t be arriving until 2022. As we get further into the year, more and more leaks surrounding CoD 2021 have begun to appear online. After months of speculation, we now know that the upcoming title is reportedly titled \u2018WWII: Vanguard.\u2019 With the campaign and multiplayer experiences supposedly set in an alternate version of the 1950s, exactly how this new release will merge with Warzone remains unclear. Early reports suggest that Sledgehammer\u2019s title will utilize the 2019 Modern Warfare engine. Beyond that, however, the future of Warzone is shrouded in mystery. One thing appears certain though, according to new leaks from CoD insider Tom Henderson: \u201cwe are 100% not getting a World War 2 Warzone map in 2021.\u201d While the community might have expected to see a full-size battle royale map with each new entry, the \u201cbotched release\u201d of Black Ops Cold War allegedly put an end to those plans. Treyarch\u2019s 2020 title was supposed to deploy a brand new Warzone map \u201cmonths ago,\u201d according to Henderson. Yet almost five months after launch and the first teaser has only just leaked. Allegedly behind schedule, this has an impact on Warzone\u2019s future integration with WWII: Vanguard. \u201cWe\u2019re likely to see some kind of WWII Warzone map around April 2022,\u201d Henderson suggested. \u201cAlthough, official development of such a map hasn\u2019t started.\u201d Moreover, it won\u2019t be a full-scale map like in the same vein as Verdansk. Instead, it will supposedly \u201cbe similar\u201d in scope to \u201cRebirth Island, with 40-60 players\u201d in mind. A different studio outside of Sledgehammer Games will reportedly be responsible for this smaller Warzone development. When it comes to WWII integration with Warzone, outside of a new map, Activision also has plans to bring relevant weapons into the battle royale. Rather than a full-sized content drop similar to BOCW\u2019s merge, Vanguard could cycle new weapons in across various seasons, according to Henderson. Players would need to unlock WWII-era guns in Warzone before being able to use them. These in-game challenges could, in turn, encourage players to pay for quicker access. \u201cThe reason for this change is to incentivize people purchasing Blueprints, or even the full game, to complete weapon challenges faster to use them in Warzone,\u201d he said. \u201c Essentially day one weapons in Vanguard could come to Warzone, but as DLC, which will require players to unlock them via in-game challenges.\u201d Obviously, we\u2019re still months out from the release of Sledgehammer\u2019s new title, so it\u2019s worth taking this information with a grain of salt for now. Plans could certainly change in the lead-up to launch. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks as Warzone Season 2 comes to a close. The future of CoD\u2019s hugely popular battle royale could be made clear after the leaked nuclear event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
