One of the biggest surprises to emerge out of Call of Duty: Next is news that a "bold new experience" is coming to Warzone next year, one directly inspired by Blackout.
For those of you who need a refresher: Blackout was the precursor to Call of Duty: Warzone, arriving as part of the Black Ops 4 package in 2018. The mode launched shortly after PUBG and Fortnite kickstarted the battle royale craze in 2017, differentiating itself with some neat ideas – Treyarch populated areas of the map with zombies and unlocked advanced traversal systems, such as a grappling hook, for players to utilize in their pursuit of becoming the last operator standing.
