Call of Duty: Warzone 2, the presumed name for a sequel to Call of Duty: Warzone, was announced official on Friday alongside the next mainline game in the series: Modern Warfare 2. The news broke on via social media in the early afternoon, primarily through streamers and other content creators alongside a small blog post from the development team.

Activision later officially confirmed the news in a blog post. 2022's new Call of Duty game will be a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare, which has reportedly sold 30 million copies.

This new game and the Warzone sequel have been "designed together from the ground up," Activision said. Both games run on the same brand-new engine, and Infinity Ward is leading the development on Modern Warfare 2 and the Warzone sequel. Very little is known about Warzone 2, but Activision said players can look forward to a "massive evolution" of the battle royale formula. This will include an "all-new playspace" and a new sandbox mode, neither of which were discussed.

Activision had been teasing Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, so the announcement is not a total surprise. What's more, Activision management previously confirmed new Call of Duty games were on the way after Call of Duty: Vanguard and the original Warzone missed the mark by some metrics.

Warzone 2

YouTuber JackFrags has new information on both games as well. Warzone 2, or whatever the game might be called, will have "significant innovations," according to the report. No two matches should play the same, developers reportedly said. Warzone 2 won't be the "same old, same old," according to the report. Warzone 2 will have a new sandbox mode, too, but no details about it are available.

Developers told CharlieIntel that when Black Ops Cold War content came to Warzone, the battle royale game "didn't feel like Modern Warfare anymore, but also didn't feel like Black Ops either." For the next Warzone, the developers are going to react to this feedback.

What happens to the original Warzone when Warzone 2 is released remains to be seen.

Modern Warfare 2

According to CharlieIntel, Modern Warfare 2 will be released this fall. Studio director Pat Kelly said it should be obvious that the team is making a sequel since the 2019 game sold 30 million copies. Basically no information is available about Modern Warfare 2, but it's rumored to be focused on Colombian drug cartels.

This is all happening as Microsoft moves to acquire Activision Blizzard and the Call of Duty franchise. Despite the acquisition, Microsoft will keep releasing Call of Duty on PlayStation and it could come to Nintendo Switch as well.

This year's Call of Duty could be coming as early as October, as claimed by journalist Tom Henderson, who has built a reputable history of leaking information surrounding Call of Duty and other major franchises.

In a tweet on January 13, Henderson reports of hearing "rumblings" that this fall's Call of Duty game, which is presumed to be a follow-up to Modern Warfare 2019, could be pushed ahead one month early for an October release. The leaker claims this change would be due to Call of Duty: Vanguard's poor sales. While Vanguard did top the PlayStation Store sales charts in North America and Europe for its November launch, the overall sales were in a bit of a decline over last year's numbers for Black Ops Cold War.

Henderson also added that the early launch of Call of Duty 2022 would bring a "big" update to Call of Duty: Warzone shortly after. However, this Warzone report seems to follow suit with past titles, as Raven Software integrated both 2020's Black Ops Cold War and 2021's Vanguard into Warzone within a month or two of each game's release.

With these claims, Henderson also says that the Modern Warfare sequel is currently scheduled to be revealed over the summer. This wouldn't be too surprising either as the timeframe falls in line with past reveals, as Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard both had August reveal dates.

Other rumored details regarding Call of Duty 2022 include a story focusing on Colombian drug cartels, a "moral compass" system, and a Warzone map that includes the classic locations of Afghan, Quarry, Terminal, and Trailer Park from 2009's Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty continues to churn out new content on as walkouts continue in protest of surprise contract terminations within Raven Software's QA team, and Activision Blizzard employees have recently reported radio silence from leadership in regards to attempts of reconciliation. Activision Blizzard also faces lawsuits and other investigations related to alleged sexual harassment and discrimination against women.

Activision has released a statement in which it acknowledged the frustrations some players are reporting across the suite of Call of Duty games, promising that fixes and improvements are coming.

Posting on Twitter, Activision said, "We hear you, and we feel your frustrations."

"Our teams are hard at work addressing the issues that are being experienced across Vanguard, Warzone, and Modern Warfare. Updates are being deployed as quickly as possible. We want everyone to have a seamless experience, no matter which games, game mode, or platform you play on," Activision said.

The company said player feedback is "critical" to the development process, and the company told fans to keep an eye out for upcoming changes.

For Warzone Pacific, Activision said it has a number of known issues it's investigating right now, including console performance across Xbox and PlayStation, as well as a bug causing some skins to appear as invisible. Developer Raven Software is also tracking an issue with freezes pertaining to Buy Stations.

For Vanguard, Sledgehammer said it will make further changes to weapons and equipment, while it will fix issues related to the Attack Dogs killstreak, as well as problems related to challenges. Sledgehammer added that it is working on fixes for party-disconnect issues with matchmaking and is looking to improve the diversity of map rotation. For Zombies, the long-awaited addition of a pause option is coming.

The Call of Duty series is expected to grow again in 2022 with the launch of Modern Warfare sequel from Infinity Ward reportedly focusing on Colombian drug cartels. Additionally, Activision's Solid State Studios is developing a new Call of Duty mobile game.

All of this is happening as Activision Blizzard faces a lawsuit from the state of California over alleged discrimination and sexual harassment of women.

Continued growth is expected in the cannabis industry in 2022, but there are still obstacles to overcome and questions that need to be answered. As the final days of 2021 tick by, let’s take a look at some of the trends and expectations that people working in and with the legal cannabis industry see coming in the coming year. © CNB Media LLC dba Cannabiz Media
