‘Call Of Duty: Warzone’ is getting its first new map later this month

Call Of Duty: Warzone is set to receive a brand new map in its biggest content drop to date, Activision has announced.

Following news in a blog post that Season One for Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone has been moved from December 10 to December 16, it was revealed that players should “prepare to drop into a new Warzone map and mode at launch” and a “new Gulag experience”.

There’s no word on what the map will actually be, but dataminers uncovered a new Rebirth Island location yesterday (December 3), which showed Alcatraz island. The leak also detailed that the fan-favourite map from Call Of Duty: Black Ops II known as Raid would be coming to the game, which has now been confirmed in the blog post.

Along with the new Warzone map, a substantial amount of new content is also in the pipeline. The post details: “new Multiplayer maps, new and fan-favourite 6v6 modes and playlists, the return of 2v2 Gunfight with four new maps, and a massive new Fireteam map”.

The blog goes on to reveal more content drops, such as “free-to-acquire weapons and prepare for new Zombies modes, Season Challenges, and the full cross-title launch of the Seasonal Prestige system, with up to 1,000 Season Levels to progress through.”

As a pre-season reward, two free bundles are being made available between December 8-15. Both the Field Research and Certified bundle come packed with skins, blueprints, reticules, calling cards, and weapon charms.
