Call Of Duty Drops Trailer For New Battle Royale Mode 'Warzone'

Call of Duty has released a trailer for the battle royale mode 'Warzone'.

It drops tomorrow (Tuesday) and promises to be 'bigger, crazier and free-er' than ever.

For owners of Modern Warfare, it will drop at 8am PDT (3pm in the UK) tomorrow (Tuesday 10 March) and the download size will be 15-22GB, while new players will have to wait until 12pm PDT (7pm in the UK) to get involved and the download size will be 80-100GB.

Here's an outline of what you can expect, via an Activision blog post: "Welcome to Warzone - a massive new combat experience where up to 150 players take the role of a veteran Tier 1 Operator and drop in to the dense and sprawling world of Verdansk. Warzone is a game-changer packed with non-stop and endless action that's free-to-play and free-for-everyone!

"At launch, players can squad up in trios with their friends on Playstation® 4, Battle.net for PC, or Xbox One across two game modes: Battle Royale and Plunder.

"In Battle Royale, fight to be the last squad standing while escaping the deadly gas in the swiftly closing circle with up to 150 players.

"In Plunder, the race is on to collect the most in-match Cash by looting across the map, taking down enemies to steal their Cash, and completing in-match Contracts.

Activision

"Warzone takes place in Verdansk, an expansive city with multiple named zones and well over 300 points of interest. Each zone features distinct landmarks like the Gorengard Lumber Yard or the Gora Dam; the zones take place across different environment types like cities and rural areas for unique engagements.

"Change up your drop location in each match to get a better lay of the land and take advantage of what Verdansk has to offer."

Players will be able to choose from a range of vehicles, including ATVs, tactical rovers, SUVs, cargo trucks and helicopters.

You can also experience being sent to the Gulag - which is presumably more fun on the game than in reality.

A summary of the mode reads: "Upon your first elimination, you will be taken as a 'Prisoner of Warzone' and thrown into the Gulag. There you will await your fate and watch other prisoners fight to the death. When your turn is up, you'll enter the Gulag and face-off against a single opponent in a 1v1 to earn the ultimate reward - redeployment.

"Win in the Gulag and earn redeployment back into Verdansk. Lose and hope that your squad completes Contracts and earns enough in-match Cash to redeploy you."
