Welcome to Warzone, a new game-changing experience from
Call of Duty®. Free-to-play and free-for-everyone, Call of Duty:
Warzone is now available worldwide on PlayStation® 4, Xbox One,
and PC. Warzone is an all-new experience from the world of
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®, where up to 150 players can squad
up with friends and drop into the fictional city of Verdansk, a
massive online combat arena packed with non-stop action and endless
fun. At launch, players will team up and fight as a trio across two
epic modes, which includes a new take on the popular all-out
survival Battle Royale mode with new and innovative ways to play,
and an all-new original mode called Plunder, where teams battle to
collect the most in-match Cash.
Published by Activision and developed by Infinity Ward and Raven
Software, Call of Duty: Warzone is free for everyone to
download and play. The full version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
is not required to play Warzone.
“Call of Duty remains one of the most successful entertainment
franchises of all time,” said Bobby Kotick, Activision Blizzard
Chief Executive Officer. “With Warzone we are allowing
players across the world to experience the fun of Call of Duty for
free.”
“Warzone is more than a new era for Call of Duty, it’s a
game-changer for players and fans. We’re delivering two incredible
modes of play within this massive world that take the experience to
a new level,” said Byron Beede, Executive Vice President and
General Manager, Call of Duty, Activision. “The teams at Infinity
Ward and Raven Software have created an amazing, free-to-play
experience that’s accessible to all to jump in right away and have
a blast. There’s a ton of content plans and live events to come
that will continue to keep fans guessing and ready to experience
new thrills.”
“Warzone is a giant sandbox for combat and adventure on a
massive scale, featuring signature Call of Duty gameplay with new
and fun different ways to play and win,” said Patrick Kelly,
Co-Studio Head and Creative Director, Infinity Ward. “We’re proud
of the Modern Warfare universe we’ve created and the massive world
of Warzone that offers a seamless experience that’s
free-for-everyone to download and play with friends. Today is just
the beginning, we can’t wait to start this journey with fans.”
“Warzone was developed with all playstyles and skill
levels in mind, so no matter how you want to play, there’s
something fun for everyone,” said Ryan Burnett, Senior Executive
Producer, Raven Software. “Warzone also brings the community
together with crossplay support and unified progression that it
shares with Modern Warfare, which is something the team is very
proud of. It’s been a fun ride and we can’t wait for all players to
jump in and experience the action for themselves.”
In Warzone’s Battle Royale mode, drop into the massive
Verdansk world with 150 players in teams of three to loot and fight
to be the last squad standing in a colossal firefight. In this
redefined Battle Royale, players of all skill levels and playstyles
will find new ways to play and be rewarded in the survival game
mode.
- Players can collect in-match Cash to purchase equipment, Field
Upgrades, Killstreaks or Revive Tokens for fallen teammates at Buy
Stations located throughout the map to help turn the tide of
war.
- Squads can choose to take on Contracts, optional in-match
mini-missions located throughout the map that payout in epic
in-match rewards upon completion, including rare loot, in-match
Cash, XP, and Weapon XP to help squads get the upper hand on the
competition.
- If you go down in a match, it doesn’t mean you’re out for the
count. In Warzone’s Battle Royale, there are different ways
players can earn their way back into the fight:
- The Gulag is an all-new way to earn a second chance at survival
in Battle Royale. Upon being eliminated, players will be taken to
the Gulag to face-off against another fallen player in a 1v1
winner-takes-all gunfight, for a chance to redeploy back into the
match.
- In addition, players can earn enough in-match Cash to purchase
a Self-Revive Kit in order to heal themselves after being downed by
an opponent.
- Players can also bring back fallen teammates by earning enough
in-match Cash to purchase a Squad Buyback at Buy Stations scattered
throughout the map.
Warzone also features the all-new, large-scale combat
mode Plunder, where the freedom and gameplay variety of Battle
Royale meets fast-paced Call of Duty action.
- In Plunder, teams drop into an action-packed race to collect as
much in-match Cash as possible by raiding Supply Boxes, eliminating
opponents, completing Contracts or by controlling key Cash deposit
locations throughout the map.
- Each player gets unlimited respawns, their own loadout,
killstreaks and more, as they employ multiple team strategies to
grow and safeguard their collection of in-match Cash.
- There are a variety of ways to achieve victory, creating nearly
endless epic moments and creative possibilities to win this
battleground heist.
Call of Duty: Warzone supports crossplay and features
unified progression across Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. For
players that already own the full version of Modern Warfare, all
content already earned including Battle Pass items, Operators,
weapons and customization items will carry over to Warzone,
and all progression earned in Warzone will count towards
overall Modern Warfare progression. For players who do not
own the full version of Modern Warfare, all progress and items
they’ve earned in Warzone will be rewarded in Modern
Warfare, should they ever choose to purchase it.
In addition, Warzone shares the same Item Shop and Battle
Pass System as Modern Warfare which includes a new Operator,
Weapons, Weapon Blueprints, Operator Skins, XP Tokens, and much
more. The Battle Pass system allows players to unlock two free new
functional weapons, up to 300 COD points, calling cards and more
just by playing. Those who want to bring their game to a whole new
level can purchase the Season Two Battle Pass for 1,000 Call of
Duty Points for access to unlock up to 100 tiers of new content,
including an instant unlock for iconic Special Forces Operator,
Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley.
The Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) Defender Pack is also back
in the Call of Duty Store for a limited time and includes eleven
in-game digital items including the Defender Pistol cosmetic weapon
variant, a weapon camo and a watch. 100% of Activision’s net
proceeds received from the Pack go directly to the Call of Duty
Endowment, a non-profit organization that helps veterans in the US
and UK find high quality civilian jobs.
