Could Warzone players be about to lose all of their hard earned swag when Warzone 2 comes out?
Some new leaks have come to light regarding Call of Duty: Warzone 2, and they may not be what many fans want to hear. This is what we know so far.
Warzone 2 an entirely new game
Details regarding the development of Warzone 2 were briefly mentioned in a report by Bloomberg. However, there hasn't been a whole lot said about the game from the developers as of yet; other than that it is being made by Infinity Ward. Now though, thanks to a series of leaks by Tom Henderson on Twitter, we are starting to get a clearer picture of the kinds of changes that might be coming with the new game. And they may not all be good in the eyes of the community.
According to these leaks Warzone 2 is sent to be an entirely new game that will provide gamers with a clean slate. That means that everything earned from Warzone/Warzone Pacific will not carry over to the new game. This is likely to cause a lot concern amongst the community; especially given the amount of skins and weapon bundles people have purchased through the current game. Tom goes on to state that the original Warzone will still be alive and kicking post release.
The leaks also suggest that Warzone 2 may be releasing during 2022 holiday season. A move which could very likely shake up CoD's release schedule. This was also mentioned in by Raven Software in an email to their employees regarding the "ongoing expansion of Call of Duty: Warzone".
Per the initial Bloomberg report, we also know that Warzone 2 would be completely independent from the main series titles. An interesting notion if that is the case.
Activision have yet to confirm the validity of these leaks. However, given the timely nature of it all, it may not be too long before we receive details about this new chapter for Warzone.
