Today, Activision Blizzard unveiled some changes coming for Call of Duty: Vanguard <\/em>and Warzone<\/em>. Alongside that, the publisher also confirms some details about what’s in store for the next year of\u00a0CoD<\/em>.<\/p> In today’s\u00a0Warzone\u00a0<\/em>briefing<\/a>, Activision confirms that Infinity Ward is taking the lead on both the new Call of Duty\u00a0<\/em>and the next\u00a0Warzone\u00a0<\/em>experience. The two will be designed in tandem, with a new engine, from the ground up. And this year’s\u00a0Call of Duty\u00a0<\/em>will be a sequel to\u00a0Modern Warfare 2019<\/em>.<\/p> The return to the\u00a0Modern Warfare\u00a0<\/em>series will also bring a new shift in the\u00a0Warzone\u00a0<\/em>battle royale space. Activision says it is building an “all-new playspace,” and also a new sandbox mode<\/a>.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> Yes, that sounds vaguely metaverse-y. In the wake of Microsoft’s announced acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella highlighted the metaverse<\/a>. A press release<\/a> at the time said the acquisition will accelerate growth in Microsoft’s gaming business and “provide building blocks” for the metaverse. Whether it goes for that, more potential for user-created content, or just a new play mode for the\u00a0Warzone\u00a0<\/em>experience, we’ll just have to wait and see.<\/p> Amid the acquisition news, Activision Blizzard has remained under scrutiny due to reports of a toxic internal culture<\/a>. Microsoft president Brad Smith told CNBC<\/a> in a recent interview that the company would commit to putting “the right people in the right position” at Activision Blizzard.<\/p> Call of Duty: Vanguard\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Warzone\u00a0<\/em>are trucking along for now. I’m curious to see when this franchise ever moves away from the annual launch schedule. With concepts for a new “sandbox” and “playspace” floating around, it seems inevitable. But we’ll see more of what Infinity Ward and Activision has in store as the year progresses.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":241376,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[373,19503,133,18175,374,19986,19125],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":808,"display_name":"Eric Van Allen","user_login":"EricVanAllen","user_nicename":"ericvanallen"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
