Call of Duty: Warzone 2 will launch soon after the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is set to arrive on October 28, 2022. While Activision has not given any official dates for Warzone 2, an internal document leak suggests that Warzone 2 will come out less than a month after the global launch of Modern Warfare 2.
Warzone 2 will also feature a new sandbox game mode inspired by Escape from Tarkov. We've had multiple reports about the mode over the past few months, but no official word from the developers.
However, a recent rating of Warzone 2 by the ESRB might have given us a hint on what to expect once Warzone 2 releases.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 were recently rated by the ESRB, but the 'Rating Summary' of Warzone 2 references battle royale, plunder, and the DMZ mode. This suggests that DMZ could launch with Warzone 2, and players might not have to wait long before experiencing the new game mode.
