Much like with any otherCall of Dutyrelease, it is expected thatCall of Duty: Warzonewould plan ahead, outlining a general schedule for DLC releases. However, it seems like the planning forCall of Duty: Warzoneis going a fair bit further.
This is not the first time that future content has been teased, as Activision confirmed that future Seasons would include content that was “never done before” inside the battle royale game. WhileCall of Duty: Warzone’s nuke eventwas likely one of the items being referenced, it seems like there is even more of a reason to be optimistic. In a Washington Post interview with Infinity Ward studio heads Patrick Kelly and Dave Stohl, it was confirmed thatCall of Duty: Warzone’s future is already known.

While the interview does focus primarily on celebrating the 100 million player milestone forCall of Duty: Warzone, and confirms that Infinity Ward is still involved with story progression, the major highlight is just how much is planned out for the game. According to Kelly, there are “broad strokes” planned “for several years into the future,” and while these broad strokes were not specified, knowing that they are in place is reassuring. With Activision claiming thatCall of Duty: Warzoneintegrationand support will remain a focus for years to come, this comment supports the claim.
A more specific detail confirms that the Season 6 content forCall of Duty: Warzoneis currently being worked on. This is particularly impressive given the fact thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarSeason 3is not even live yet, with the new update set to drop tomorrow. While planning a Season or two in advance is expected, three Seasons shows some serious focus regarding the evolving narrative ofCall of Duty: Warzone. With a clear sense of direction, fans have good reason to be excited.
As for what the “broad strokes” could be, Kelly and Stohl are likely referring to major storyevents like Hunt for Adler. Clearly, there is a plan in place for theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warchapter of the narrative, and the fate of the characters involved is likely already known. While small easter egg events, vehicle additions, and game modes, are likely not all decided upon, major story beats and map changes likely are. While it remains to be seen if fans will approve of these changes and additions, there is clearly plenty on the way.
With Season 6 forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarandCall of Duty: Warzonealready planned out, it may not be long before the strategizing forCall of Duty2021 begins. With abrand-newCall of Duty: Warzonemap rumoredto debut next year as well, things are certainly starting to look interesting.
