Succeeding in a time when Fortnite takes the most spotlight is not an easy task. Multiple companies have tried to excel in the genre, but only a few have managed to survive. Call of Duty: Warzone not only managed to earn its place among the top battle royales, but it is also generating multimillion-dollar revenues for Activision. That is why the distributor is fully committed to continuing to drive Warzone's growth.

So important is Warzone today that the company has put a complete twist on the Call of Duty release strategy. Now all the titles of the aforementioned franchise must integrate their content with the battle royale. In this way, it is possible to serve a single community that is divided between different game modes. That is why Activision must keep Warzone in mind when developing a new installment of Call of Duty.

And is that being considered a "game as a service", Warzone maintains a constant flow of money into the coffers of Activision. The seasonal model, which has been so successful in multiple free-to-play proposals, has also yielded great results in Call of Duty: Warzone. However, to maintain the interest of the community it is necessary to offer new content on a regular basis. It is for this reason that they are leaning on the usual annual Call of Duty launch.

Warzone to Unveil a Verdansk Renovation

Now, launching new operator or weapon skins, and even updating the arsenal with controversy in between, is not as relevant as introducing a new map. It is expected that on April 21 Warzone we submit a version Verdansk renovated, which apparently will take the atmosphere in the Cold War that we saw in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
