Bookings for the fair give hope that Battle Royale will start soon

Everything indicates that the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare receives a Free2Play game as a new companion game. That will be Call of Duty: Warzone. Battle Royale mode doesn’t have a release date yet, but fans are hoping it’ll kick off soon.

That’s why the situation is so strange: Officially, the new battle royale mode, warzone, not yet featured by Activision Blizzard. Officially, Activision Blizzard never said: “By the way, we are launching a” Battle Royale “mode, look forward to it.”

However, leaks are circulating about leaks on the mode. Dataminer have already found the map and detailed details of how the 200-man mode should work. The mood is in the air, it has to come every week now, after all everything is ready.

It is almost certain that there is something in the rumors. Last has Activision Blizzard made a petition in court, so that they can determine the identity of a leaker and then take legal action.

Almost everything about Warzone is known, except the start date

You don’t know yet: Two key pieces of information are currently missing:

• Will Activision Blizzard even introduce the mode at all or do they just want to bring it live, like EA did a year ago with Apex Legends?
• When do you bring the mode, when does it start?

This is new information now: The first major gaming fair in 2020, PAX East in Boston, will start next week. Since the Video Game Awards on December 12th, this is the first opportunity for Western publishers to present something bigger.

At PAX fairs there are traditionally announcements about games, but mostly these are from the second row.

The fair starts on Thursday, February 27th. and it ends on March 1st, that is a Sunday.

The strange thing is that Activision Blizzard for Call of Duty
3 stands has:

• 2 are clearly marked as “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare”
• But one only means “Call of Duty”

Now that’s the theory: A fan who also runs the reddit on Warzone has put up a hot theory. He believes that Activision Blizzard will show a playable version of Warzone at this smaller third booth at PAX East.

Since the booth is too small to pit 200 players for a LAN, the mode should officially start on Tuesday, February 25, the fan concludes.

According to the theory, there would be a “cold start” on Tuesday. Then the mode would simply be there and Activision Blizzard would already have the opportunity to advertise and present it at PAX East.

Uncertainty about release heats up hype, but is also annoying

What other theories are there? According to the The last leak should start CoD: Warzone on March 3rd or 10th. That would be after the PAX East, which would then expire without major announcement.

The speculation about the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone apparently triggers the attention for Activision Blizzard that speculated on. However, some people are now also annoyed because the topic has been around for so long without a clear announcement from Activision Blizzard.
