Activision talks Warzone 2 reveal

Activision has confirmed that a new Warzone is on the way that's being “built from the ground up” and will be revealed later this year.

The news comes via the publisher's first quarter financials and it certainly sounds like the rumored Warzone 2 rather than a Warzone expansion or rework. 

Activision says it's being created alongside Modern Warfare 2, which is reported to be be set in the drug war against Columbian cartels. Given that Warzone currently features the arsenals of multiple Call of Duty games across different eras, it's easy to expect more crossover with the latest Modern Warfare. 

The new Warzone will continue its free-to-play model, which is sure to keep it competitive with other heavyweights like Apex Legends and Fortnite. What's unclear still is what future is ahead for the original Warzone if a sequel supplants it.
