A well-known industry insider Tom Henderson revealed an image of a new map that is expected to feature in COD Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, reported VGC.
According to Henderson, a source who was recently included in a playtest for Warzone 2 claimed that the map was available in the start-up menu of the game.
However, the maps curator stated that it was unavailable to play for the current session.
This is a sign that the new map is well into development and sources have suggested that it will be similar in size to Rebirth Island from the original Warzone.
Although the map is still far from being completed, the leak has revealed the map’s points of interest, which include Oasis, War-torn, Quarry, Oilfield, Modern City, Hydro Station, Marshes, Harbour, Caves, Observatory, Mountain Town, Sira, Old Town, Graveyard, Fish to Win, Airport, Shipwreck, and Fort.
The image below also shows the general terrain layout of the new map, where water is shown in blue, densely built-up locations in grey, the land in brown, elevated areas in dark brown, and a rail track in black.
Not only will this new map be added to Warzone 2, but it will also serve as the grounds for Modern Warfare 2’s reported third game mode, DMZ.
This mode is described by sources as a mix of PvP and PvE like Battlefield 2042’s Hazard Zone.
Publisher Activision confirmed on Tuesday that the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 release date is October 28, 2022, while the current plan is to release Warzone 2 around December 2022 – January 2023.
