Up to 150 players will be able to duke it out on the expansive Verdansk map, which will feature new and existing fan-favourite locations and over 300 points of interest. Players will be able to earn in-game currency during matches which they can then use to purchase killstreaks, field upgrades and equipment from “Buy Stations” located throughout the map. Modern Warfare players can also use the in-game cash to unlock their favourite multiplayer loadouts during matches.

Warzone comes with two game modes: the classic Battle Royale and a new mode called Plunder, which is said to be a “race to deposit the most in-game cash.” Cross-platform play will be supported, and progression from Modern Warfare,  including Operators, Battle Pass items and weapon unlocks, is carried over, and vice-versa.

​It sounds like players will also be able to take on in-game “contracts” that task them with completing specific objectives, such as securing a location or opening a series of supply boxes, for extra rewards, including loot, cash and XP.

There was also confirmation of the Gulag, a previously leaked Battle Royale-only feature that allows eliminated players a chance to re-enter the fight by winning a 1v1 duel with another player who has also been taken out.

Modern Warfare owners will be able to access Warzone directly from the in-game menu, with the new mode coming in as a 15GB – 20GB download, while new players will have a much larger 80GB – 100GB download.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available from 10 March on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
