Warzone 2 developer

Within Activision Blizzard's 2021 financial results, the publisher has revealed Infinity Ward is developing a new "Warzone experience." It's likely that it could be a brand-new map for the current iteration of Warzone or the fresh start many rumours have suggested.

Warzone 2 platforms

Warzone 2 will launch on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

Despite rumours of the battle royale abandoning the last generation of consoles, the new Warzone experience is open for everyone that hasn't managed to get their hands on a new console just yet.

Warzone 2 circle collapse

Rather than one single circle decreasing in size over the course of a match, the circle splits into three to separate the action taking place across Al Mazrah.

Towards the end of a match, the three circles will merge into one small space to guarantee plenty of action in the final stages.

Warzone 2 leaks

Following the Call of Duty Next event, leaks surrounding Warzone 2 are few and far between. Once we hear any new rumours surrounding the battle royale, we will post the latest Warzone 2 leaks right here.

Warzone 2 gulag

The gulag has undergone a huge transformation in Warzone 2. Rather than a 1v1 duel to drop back into the action, the gulag now features 2v2 battles where players need to loot and eliminate their opponents to win. Loot will remain with the winning team as they drop back into the game.

Alternatively, players can find The Jailer, an AI soldier. The Jailer holds a key that players can use to earn their second chance.
