Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 isn’t the only new Call of Duty game launching in 2022. Activision re-confirmed during Summer Game Fest Live today that Warzone 2.0–or whatever final name the game is given–will be released later this year.
A specific release date has not been announced, nor do we know much about the game. As we reported previously, Warzone 2 is confirmed to include the same vehicles, swimming, mantling, and mechanics from Modern Warfare 2, but it’s still uncertain whether this next iteration will be a 100% clean slate or include the weapons and skins from previous titles.

Now Playing: Modern Warfare 2 Preview – Bigger, Smaller, Less Controversial, And Moar Water!
“In order to fully deliver this state-of-the-art experience, Warzone 2.0 will feature new Modern Warfare II content and systems with brand-new progression and inventories,” Activision said.
The existing Warzone will “continue as a separate experience,” Activision confirmed. Player progression and existing inventories for the original Warzone will remain in place.
Infinity Ward is leading the development on Warzone 2 alongside Raven Software. Like the original game, Warzone 2 will be free-to-play. And as mentioned, it will share the same engine, which Activision says should help provide the “most seamless and advanced Call of Duty experiences ever.”
