Will There Be a New Warzone Map? Developers’ Response from Activision

It’s worth noting that many people started discussing this a couple of months ago because numerous media outlets began pushing information about a new Warzone map.

Everyone was reporting different sources, claiming that the new Warzone map had been found in the game files, leaked from trailers, and so on.

Activision, the developer, noticed this and began blocking videos everywhere, filing copyright complaints. Therefore, such videos on YouTube were blocked due to copyright violations.

Players are not happy because Warzone originally appeared in the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) and it became a battle royale addition. Over the years, everyone has grown tired of this map. It has hardly changed since its release, with only minor alterations.

Everyone knows that developers listen to players and want to make their product more popular and attract players since their revenue depends on it.

Haha, what revenue, you fool!? Warzone is free, and I haven’t bought anything there and never will!

Yes, my intelligent reader, you correctly noted that the game is free, but the game offers bundles for real money. We recently wrote about the prices of all the bundles. That’s why the development of a new Warzone map is in full swing, and the game’s creators don’t want it to be leaked prematurely, as it would reduce interest.

When the update with the new Warzone map is released, people will undoubtedly rush to download it and see what has changed. This will bring back old players and attract new ones. Even if they don’t like it, they will spend a couple of days exploring the map, which is why the developers want to keep this information secret.

Another point is that leaked data about Warzone’s new map or Rebirth Island is already circulating on the internet. The first data appeared on Twitter, then on YouTube, and eventually everywhere. Activision tried to eliminate such leaks with the help of social media support.

After two weeks of the struggle, the developers finally released a statement on Twitter and Reddit confirming that the Warzone map would be changed to an 80s setting, which means some locations will not exist anymore.
