Description:
A fresh leak suggests Warzone 2 will receive a secondary map after launch, similar in size to Rebirth Island

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Call of Duty: Warzone 2, the upcoming sequel to Activision's spin-off battle royale, features a second map similar to Rebirth Island.

Thats according to prolific leaker Tom Henderson, who said a smaller map for Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is currently in development, likely releasing after the game launches. Writing in Exputer , Henderson advised at least one playtester had spotted the secondary map in the Warzone sequel's menu, although it had been made inaccessible to them.

Few specifics about the map are known, but its been suggested that it will be a similar size to Warzones Rebirth Island. That map, which rolled out in late 2020 during Warzones first season, is more compact than Verdansk and Caldera, catering to frenetic close-quarter fighting. It also features a smaller
player count to support faster-paced matches. (Image credit: Infinity Ward) Two is better than one

That Warzone 2 will feature two maps shouldnt come as much of a surprise. Rebirth Island has been a hit with Call of Duty fans, providing not only a
new environment to explore but upping the pace of the whole game. It particularly suited players who enjoy faster battle royale matches that don't drag.

From the limited information provided here, it sounds like Activision is hoping to replicate that success. The double map offering will expand Warzone 2s appeal and, at the very least, ensure it provides the same features that current Warzone fans enjoy.

Were still waiting for an official Warzone 2 release date. Earlier this year, Activision told investors the games development is proceeding very well and planned to officially reveal the sequel sometime later in the year. A report from January, however, suggests that the publisher expects to release Warzone 2 in 2023.

That sounds likely. Warzone launched in March 2020, and a three-year gap between the original and sequel is a strong possibility. We expect to know more about Warzone 2s release date and potential maps later this year. Did
you know Battlefield 2042's new Specialist has been leaked?
