Warzone devs provide update on Ranked Play Battle Royale ActivisionSeason 4\u2019s Warzone patch came with an update from the developers on the status of Ranked Play Battle Royale. Urzikstan was one of Season 1\u2019s marquee features as part of the MW3 and Warzone integration, a new giant map that let players run wild to experience the changes implemented by Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software. As the seasons have gone on, Urzikstan has been rather barren of changes, notably the complete omission of Ranked Play. Ranked Play is in the game but in the form of Ranked Resurgence on Fortune\u2019s Keep and Rebirth Island, just not on the new big map. Yet, with Season 4\u2019s arrival and a notable 20-player match size increase, Ranked Play Battle Royale still isn\u2019t an option. Aware of the fan frustration, Warzone\u2019s devs have issued an update on the mode\u2019s absence, with a target goal of the end of the year, per a statement in the patch notes. \u201cWhile our teams are targeting to release Ranked Play Battle Royale before the end of the year, we are not ready to commit to specific timing just yet. We are using the months ahead to fine-tune the design of our Ranked Play system to reflect and compliment changes since made to the core Battle Royale experience,\u201d the notes said. The developers said they will focus on maintaining Ranked Resurgence in upcoming seasons \u201cgiven the mode\u2019s success.\u201d All of this is to \u201cprovide a diverse and fulfilling competitive experience across different modes.\u201d No time frame is attached to the mode\u2019s launch, and given the reveal of Black Ops 6, it\u2019s likely that Ranked Play and the next Call of Duty title could launch together. It is also possible the delay is part of the devs looking to balance Warzone with more players in mind, especially after the recent lobby increase. With the Black Ops 6 Direct scheduled for June 9, more information may arrive detailing what comes next for the standard Battle Royale mode. Until then, Warzone fans will have to carry on with Warzone\u2019s Ranked Resurgence on Fortune\u2019s Keep and Rebirth or watch the World Series of Warzone for standard competitive play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
