Call Of Duty Warzone has grown into one of the biggest battle royale games in the world. The game hit the 50 million player mark just two months after it released. Of course, it still has a long way to go and is nowhere near Fortnite, but this is a great sign for Activision. Warzone has also been giving the players constant updates regarding weapon buffs and nerfs, map changes, and new additions to the playlist.

This year?s Call Of Duty Title is yet to be announced and internet detectives are already at it. The game will, in all probability, be called ?Black Ops: Cold War? according to multiple reports and rumors. Interestingly, Activision also plans to launch the game in Warzone where the bunker with the nuke will play a major role. Sources suggest that the game could be delayed to August but with the Xbox Showcase event scheduled for 23 July, we could also be surprised. Until then, tune in to twitch to catch the MFAM Gauntlet.
