Call of Duty fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Modern Warfare II, which is only a few days away. Further, the fans are also looking forward to Call of Duty: Warzone 2. However, the release of Warzone 2 raises the question of what will happen to the first game.

It’s been over two years since the release of Warzone. It was the first battle royale and free-to-play in the CoD franchise. The gamers showered the game with love. Now the game is in its final season, and many wonder about the game’s future after the sequel releases. However, there are some hopeful updates about Warzone’s future.

Will Call of Duty: Warzone be discontinued after the launch of its successor?

Fans are hyped for Call of Duty: Warzone 2. However, everyone was worried about the inability to transfer the game data from the first game to the sequel. So, most players thought they would have to start fresh with the Warzone sequel. However, that doesn’t mean players will lose their old data and won’t be able to enjoy it.

Recently, a Call of Duty insider and journalist, Tom Henderson, revealed that the original Warzone wouldn’t be shut down after the sequel comes out. Instead, Activision is planning to change the name and continue the game. Further, it will keep receiving new updates and DLC. The possible new name would be Warzone Caldera.

The new name for the original Warzone game has also raised some new speculations. Some believe Activision might remove Rebirth Island and Fortunes Keep from the original game to encourage players to shift to the Warzone sequel.
