Activision has announced that 30 million players have jumped into Warzone since its release earlier this month, and in the latest Call of Duty video, developers describe what innovations they brought to the battle royale genre and what makes Warzone so special.
Warzone features two different modes—Battle Royale and Plunder—and each of them features a scale and level of activity that hasn’t been seen yet in the shooter genre. 150 players on one map. An economy system for upgrading gear and redeploying teammates. Contracts to set objectives in-game. And the arsenal of guns specific to Call of Duty.
It’s an impressive list, and the current player count is even more impressive. The successful launch of the game may be helped by the current events, but it’s a strong start for Activision and for Warzone.
