Warzone 3: When did the updated battle royale go live?
Warzone 3 (not the official name) came after the Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 update was deployed, and the battle royale received a long list of changes. It is not a new game but simply a complete overhaul of the existing title to provide the playerbase with an improved gameplay experience.
The update went live on December 6, 2023, and brought a whole new map called Urzikstan to the playlist. The arena hosts the entire MW3 Zombies mode as well and showcases a completely dystopian scenario where unearthly monsters are around every corner. So all users who own a copy of Activision’s 2023 multiplayer shooter could already check out the new map before it went live in Warzone.
Warzone currently features all the movement mechanics that are present in MW3 - be it slide canceling or faster gunplay. The battle royale went through a fresh draft and became a new integration that tied it to Modern Warfare 3 in the existing Call of Duty HQ. This also resulted in an influx of gameplay content to roll into the game, including operators, cosmetics, and weapons.
It is important to note that previous Warzone content remains playable and will likely receive more updates in the future.
