Activision might rename Warzone and continue updating it once Warzone 2 is out

If the name holds up, it might signal Activision's plan to pursue an 80s and 90s setting with the original Warzone. This will allow Warzone 2 to focus on a modern setting or even try a futuristic theme as it continues collaborating with the mainline Call of Duty games starting with Modern Warfare 2.

Curiously enough, a recent leak suggests that Warzone 2 will come out on November 16. You'd think that Activision will time the renaming with the release of Warzone 2. But, these things aren't always set in stone. It could be that Activision wanted to launch Warzone 2 on November 16 only to change plans last minute and move it to November 28.

Regardless of the truth, fans can look forward to the upcoming Call of Duty event, Next, on the 15th. Activision has promised to reveal more details about Warzone Mobile, Warzone 2, and Modern Warfare 2, among several others, at the showcase. Also, those who are looking forward to Modern Warfare 2 still have time to play it before everyone else. Pre-order the game soon and jump into the open beta on September 16 and the single-player campaign just days before it comes out for everyone on October 28.
