When does Warzone 3 come out?

With Modern Warfare 3 just around the corner, fans wonder whether the new launch will arrive with Warzone 3. There are a couple of reasons why this notion has gained notoriety. Based on previous releases, it can be observed that each new MW release is accompanied by a new Battle Royale title. For instance, with the launch of Modern Warfare (2019), fans got to see Warzone 1. Similarly, with the launch of MW2 (2022), Warzone 2 was released.

If the trend was to continue, then it is only natural that with Modern Warfare 3 will come Warzone 3. But that is not the case. In this article, we will be taking a closer look at why WZ3 won't launch anytime soon.

As established previously, Warzone 3 will not be released with Modern Warfare 3, for that matter, it won't be available anytime soon. The integration of Modern Warfare 3 with Warzone 2 has already been confirmed by the developers, meaning both titles will be sharing the same base game. However, MW3 will definitely bring in a new map for the Battle Royale mode, which is reportedly named 'Las Alamas'.

The new map will go live with the Season 1 update for Modern Warfare 3, which, according to leaks, is expected to go live in the first week of December. Moreover, with the recent rename of Warzone 2 to Warzone and the closure of Warzone 1 (now renamed Warzone Caldera), it is highly unlikely fans will get to see the next Warzone title in the near future.

However, with the arrival of MW3, fans should expect to see some drastic changes in the current battle royale title. Movement mechanics such as slide cancelation are confirmed to return with Modern Warfare 3 and will be integrated with Warzone as well.

Moreover, if the MW3 Makarov trailer was anything to go by, players can expect to see new map dynamics, such as the ability to blow up ice sheets, improved stealth mechanics, and more.

So to answer the question, "When does Warzone 3 come out?"; it is not coming anytime soon, and MW3 will continue operating with Warzone 2 to provide players with an integrated experience across the board.
