Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is just days away from launch. The leaks haven’t stopped, however, giving out information on the next-gen Warzone. For long players have speculated that a new map for the battle royale mode could be launched with Cold War. Leaks suggest the same, along with additional information around it.
Cold War will? bring a new map coming for Warzone. Players who had access to the beta have already played on a part of that map. The Fireteam mode was played in the beta of Cold War inside a map called the Ural Mountains. That map in totality is now going to release in Warzone. Sadly, though, it won’t release with Cold War’s launch.
Reports?suggest that the new map will not be launched before 2021.

I just noticed that @VGC_News also stated in their latest #warzone article that there wouldn’t be a new map until 2021.
That gives these “rumors” from sources much more credibility as VGC has been dead on the money nearly every time.

Nonetheless, there will be no dearth of content in the time being. More leaks suggest another mini-map will come to Warzone. This can happen as soon as Season 6 concludes. As for the map, Treyarch is bringing back a fan favorite from Blackout series. Alcatraz is getting a Soviet revamp and will release inside Warzone soon.
We believe that Alcatraz will be the content that is meant to hold us over until the next #Warzone map is ready for release.

While Blackout was a massive flop for Call of Duty, Alcatraz grabbed a lot of attention. The map was re-released inside Call of Duty Mobile a month ago. Warzone is counting on that popularity to continue as it releases a new rendition of the Alcatraz map.
