Call of Duty: Warzoneis set to be a “constant” for theCall of Dutyfranchise moving forward, finding itself attached to whatever the latest game in the series is in terms of Battle Pass content. But even thoughCall of Duty: Warzoneitself will be a constant, that doesn’t mean the content within the battle royale will stay the same. On the contrary, it seems as thoughWarzonemay very well be getting a new map alongside the upcomingCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
OnResetEra, dataminers have shared clips of various multiplayer maps fromBlack Ops Cold War, and have discovered that their file names include the letters “WZ.” This seems to suggest that these maps may very well be combined to create a newWarzonebattle royale map, not unlike how the existingWarzonemap is comprised ofModern Warfare’s Ground War maps. Not only that, but the leaked footage actually corroborates an old leak about potential newWarzonemap locations.

Back in July, dataminers found evidence that thenewCall of Duty: Warzonemap locationswould include a Forest and Ski Slopes. The footage in the ResetEra thread shows just that, which certainly lends credibility to the old leak about a newWarzonemap. However, it should be stressed that the footage itself isnotWarzonegameplay, but rather, footage ofBlack Ops Cold War’s multiplayer. The “WZ” in the file names is what ties the maps to theWarzonebattle royale.
Before fans get too excited about this leak, though, they should keep in mind that it’s entirely possible that there are no plans to introduce a newWarzonemap. And even if Treyarch legitimately has a newWarzonemap in the works, that doesn’t mean it will be available alongsideBlack Ops Cold War’s launch. In fact, it would actually be quite surprising for the newWarzonemap to be available whenBlack Ops Cold Warlaunches on November 13.
It seems that a far more likely scenario is that if this newCall of Duty: Warzonemap exists, it will be added at some point in 2021. As fans may recall,Modern Warfaredidn’t launch withWarzone; instead, it was released in March of this past year. Considering this, it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that the newWarzonemap will be added a few months afterBlack Ops Cold War’s launch, perhaps timed to coincide with the battle royale’s 1 year anniversary.
Unless Activision or Treyarch make an official announcement, fans should take any news about apotential newCall of Duty: Warzonemapwith a big grain of salt. But even so, there is some compelling evidence here as to what fans might be able to expect from it.
