Not surprisingly, the highly successful "Call of Duty: Warzone" will not abruptly end when the series moves on from "Modern Warfare" to the next installment. Activision has not revealed exactly how "Warzone" will adapt as "Call of Duty" moves forward, but it seems certain that the various "sub-franchises" will leave their mark.

As of now, Warzone is a spin-off of Modern Warfare, taking everything from the operators to the aesthetic from the Modern Warfare reboot. Nevertheless, Call of Duty is a fleeting moment, and soon players will be shuffling off to a new game, then another, and so on until the heat of the universe cools off. But Warzone will not be left behind. [Infinity Ward narrative director Taylor Kurosaki told GamerGen, "'Call of Duty' has been released at a very regular pace for years, but 'Warzone' will allow us to see how new content Call of Duty is a genre unto itself, and the Call of Duty tree has many different branches, but they are all connected in some way, will be a through-line connecting all of Call of Duty's various sub-franchises. While it will be cool to see how the various sub-franchises will or will not be focused on, Warzone will be a constant.

Kurosaki and Amos Hodge, creative director of Raven Software, also touched on the more immediate future, including the whereabouts of Duos mode, which appeared in Plunder but not in the main mode. Its arrival date has not yet been set, and there are issues that need to be resolved, but it will appear eventually.

"As you may have noticed, we started with just a trio, added a solo, and then a quad. 'At this point, I can't give you an exact time frame, but a duo will be on the way. You've already seen it in Plunder, but we have to find just the right timing and everything else we have to work out."

Players are also discovering clues that there is more to Verdansk than players have seen, and hope that Season 4 will provide some answers.

"They have found clues and learned that there is more to this city than meets the eye," Kurosaki says. Season 4 will reveal some of those mysteries and unravel them for the players," Kurosaki says. As the battle at Verdansk drags on, things become more desperate. More fighters will be sent in to turn the tide. We are very excited for our players to see the new great warriors they will continue to fight and to be able to fight alongside them."

Realistically speaking, this means new modes, more items to pack into loadouts, and new field upgrades. Hodge says it "adds a new spice to the game."

Evolution is a necessity in battle royale; Fortnite, Apex Legends, and PUBG all succeeded in attracting large numbers of players at launch, but in dramatic ways, such as holding in-game concerts and bringing in active trains Adapting and changing has kept players killing each other month after month, and while it remains to be seen how Warzone will hold up, a clearer picture will emerge when Activision announces its next game.
