Call of Duty Warzone: Big map update is coming, new anti-cheat system planned

Call of Duty Warzone

Sledgehammer Games confirms a brand new map for Call of Duty Warzone. The necessary map update should appear in the course of the year - presumably around the release of Call of Duty Vanguard on November 5th. It is not yet clear whether the map will be available for the release of the new World War II shooter. At a preview event, the developers only announced the new area "for this year". However, it is likely that the new Warzone map will take up the locations of Call of Duty Vanguard: The upcoming shooter episode takes place in World War II - and takes you to locations on the Eastern Front, Pacific states, Europe and North Africa.

The Verdansk map has been available in Warzone since the release in March 2020. Most recently, the map was given an update to bring the location to 1984 - and to adapt it to the current Black Ops Cold War. Fans were disappointed with the mostly minor revisions, as they wanted fundamental changes and a new area. With the release of Call of Duty Vanguard, that should finally change. It is not known whether there may be changes for Rebirth Island. The map was added later and is much smaller than Verdansk.

The connections to Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War will apparently remain in the future. This gives players access to a powerful arsenal and numerous operators.

Call of Duty Vanguard will be released on November 5th.

‘Call of Duty: Vanguard’ revealed in ‘Warzone’ live event

An interactive event within “Call of Duty: Warzone” Thursday afternoon served as the platform for the global reveal of the next mainline game in the famed first-person-shooter franchise. After collaborating with 31 other players on a multistage effort to take down a massive armored train in “Warzone’s” Verdansk map, participants in the event were treated to a three-minute preview trailer for “Call of Duty: Vanguard,” a new stand-alone title from Activision-owned Sledgehammer Games set during World War II. The game will release Nov. 5.

This marked the second major promotional event for a Call of Duty game held in “Warzone,” the free-to-play battle royale title that has served as a nexus for the franchise’s multiple properties. Last year, “Warzone” teased the release of 2020 game “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War” with a similar event that leaned into elements of espionage prevalent in the Black Ops line of games. This time, the event asked players to secure a supply of dynamite to set a trap in a tunnel for a massive armored train. Players were then tasked with destroying the train’s turret cannons and armored cars before blowing up the engine. The more progress was made destroying the train, the more in-game rewards they unlocked, like special stickers, vehicle paint jobs and weapon blueprints.

'Call of Duty: Vanguard' preview: The franchise goes back to WW2. Here's what's new.

Following the train’s destruction, players were alerted of an incoming wave of bombers that appeared over them, dropping their payloads as players scrambled to an exfiltration site marked on their screens. As they neared it, the explosions overtook them, and the interactive portion of the event faded into the “Vanguard” trailer. The trailer showcased some of the new game’s characters as they engaged with enemies in the four main theaters of World War II: the Pacific, North Africa, and the Western and Eastern European fronts. It concluded with a prompt to preorder the game.

Developers from Sledgehammer showcased several details from “Vanguard” during a media preview a week earlier. In it, they noted that “Vanguard” will introduce an anti-cheat system for which “Warzone” players, long troubled by hackers, have pined. Developers also announced an all-new map for “Warzone” developed by Raven Software to release later this year. No details about the map were provided, though it stands to reason it will showcase a setting from the World War II.

“Warzone,” which first featured characters, weapons and plot extensions from 2019′s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,” evolved in December of 2020 to incorporate those elements from “Black Ops Cold War,” which was set during the 1980s. The map, named after the fictional Russian city of Verdansk, was also revamped earlier this year to reflect an ’80s aesthetic, updating numerous points of interest and adding new ones.
