Infinity Ward reveal plans for \u2018Fortnite type\u2019 events in Warzone Epic Games\/ActivisionTaylor Kurosaki, Infinity Ward\u2019s Narrative Director, has hinted at \u2018Fortnite-like\u2019 events coming to Call of Duty: Warzone in the near future. As Infinity Ward\u2019s \u2018Narrative Director\u2019, you\u2019d be somewhat forgiven for thinking Kurosaki\u2019s only involvement was with Modern Warfare\u2019s campaign. While that is undoubtedly a significant part of his work, recent years have seen a number of battle royales incorporating narratives and lore. Players don\u2019t need to look further than Fortnite or Apex Legends, games which feature unique characters and world-bending events. Going off Kurosaki\u2019s comments, it looks like Warzone is set to follow suit. In an April 11 interview with VentureBeat, on the topic of Epic Games\u2019 building battle royale, Kurosaki said: \u201cWe\u2019ve talked a lot in the past about whether games like Fortnite have a narrative. I would say yes, absolutely. I\u2019d say Warzone does as well. But for me, it\u2019s in a genre and a tone that I greatly prefer.\u201d VentureBeat asked Kurosaki if Warzone\u2019s \u201cworld\u201d will have events like those featured in Fortnite, citing the eclipse that ended the game\u2019s first chapter. Kurosaki responded: \u201cThat\u2019s exactly the kind of thing that we\u2019re working on, that we have planned. Again, it\u2019s all going to fit into this macro that we\u2019ve established in Modern Warfare, and that we\u2019ve continued into Warzone.\u201d Kurosaki suggested that Warzone\u2019s narrative will be darker and more adult than those featured in Fortnite \u2013 unsurprising given the game\u2019s considerably older target audience. He concluded: \u201cIf you know who the players are in Modern Warfare, it\u2019ll all make sense, and it\u2019ll all feel appropriate to the universe.\u201d Modern Warfare welcomed back some fan-favorite characters like Captain Price, and we already have major teasers suggesting the map might be flooded. Whether Infinity Ward will go as far as having a black-hole swallow the map remains to be seen, but it certainly sounds like they\u2019ll shake up the in-game environment. If the game does indeed follow Fortnite, we can expect the game\u2019s most significant changes to occur at the beginning of new seasons. Modern Warfare\u2019s next (and fourth) season is set to begin at the start of June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
