What is Call of Duty: Warzone?

Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play battle royale video game released on March 10, 2020, as part of the Call of Duty franchise. Developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software and published by Activision, it introduces online multiplayer combat set in the expansive and dynamic fictional city of Verdansk. Players parachute onto this vast map, scavenging for weapons, equipment, and armor while fighting to be the last person or team standing. With up to 150 players per match, Warzone offers various modes such as Battle Royale and Plunder, adding a unique CoD twist to the popular genre with elements like Cash system, Contracts, and the Gulag—a chance for defeated players to respawn by winning a 1-on-1 fight. Its deep integration with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and subsequently Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has made it a cornerstone of the Call of Duty ecosystem.
