When Call of Duty first announced the Modern Warfare reboot, fans were quite skeptical. Worried if the game could even hold a candle to the original, 2019’s Modern Warfare did something unreal for gamers. It brought the highly popular battle royale mode Warzone, with the first-ever Warzone map Verdansk.

Four years down the line, the first Call of Duty Warzone title feels like a thing of the past. With Verdansk long gone from the game, the title found a new name: Warzone Caldera, because of the incoming map Caldera. However, Warzone Caldera, just like Verdansk, has very little time left to be the battleground for CoD fans.

Call of Duty Warzone Caldera has a week left before it shuts down

With Activision planning to shut down Call of Duty Warzone Caldera on September 21, the game has just a week before fans bid it farewell. It will be a tearful goodbye, as the first Warzone title made the battle royale series what it is today.

Nearly a month ago, Activision announced its plans to permanently shut down Warzone Caldera. With the date set to September, fans quickly realized it would be the last time they would get to play the map. While Caldera was not exactly well received, it had a lot of great memories for players.

More importantly, Warzone Caldera was the game that started it all. It dominated the Battle Royale market, one where Call of Duty had failed with its initial attempt. Warzone Caldera is more than just a game. For a while before Warzone 2 came out, it held a significant amount of the player base. During the time of COVID-19, it seemed to be something of a unifying factor among gamers, as a whole community formed through the title. Warzone Caldera will definitely be missed by the community.

What happens to your Warzone Caldera inventory?

If you are wondering what happens to all the items you purchased in the game, there might be some sad news for you. Activision announced items from this game would not be carried over the Modern Warfare III once it comes out.

This becomes a big problem, especially when you consider the amount of money people put into buying items. There were not just content packs released for Call of Duty Warzone Caldera, but items coming in from Black Ops: Cold War, Vanguard, and the 2019 Modern Warfare. Since Warzone Caldera contained progress from all these games, not being able to carry it over to a new game essentially lets it all go to waste, as the game will permanently shut down.

However, it does not mean fans cannot enjoy the game while it exists. There is still a week left before the game shuts down. It might be the perfect time to get back into Warzone Caldera and get the grips of the game again. It could be a worthy tribute to a game that made gamers’ lives better.
