Call Of Duty: Warzone Is Returning To Its Blackout Roots
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was the first Call of Duty game to feature a battle royale mode. Launching after the battle royale boom in 2017, Blackout had 100 players drop onto a gigantic map to fight for their lives until only one player or team was left standing."
"Black Ops 4's battle royale map, Avalon, will also be returning. It featured fan-favorite named locations like Nuketown Island, as well as more generic locales like a train station and construction site. Avalon has changed several times over the years, and we don't know how it might change for this 2026 release, so none of the locations from the original map are guaranteed to return. While Avalon is positively viewed by many in the Warzone community, Verdansk and other Warzone maps are often viewed more favorably."
"Warzone is also getting a new Resurgence map alongside Black Ops 7. The new map, Haven's Hollow, will be smaller than Fortune's Keep but larger than Rebirth Island. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's open beta begins this weekend, with the official start times finally revealed. During the beta, you'll also get a taste of the Zombies mode and a feel for how explosive body shields are."
Call of Duty: Warzone will receive a Blackout-inspired update in Spring 2026 centered on the returning Avalon map. Blackout originally launched in 2018 with 100 players dropping onto a large map to fight until one player or team remained. Avalon included named locations such as Nuketown Island plus generic sites like a train station and construction site, though locations may change for the 2026 release. The Warzone update will also add a new Resurgence map called Haven's Hollow, positioned between Fortune's Keep and Rebirth Island in size. Black Ops 7's open beta begins this weekend and includes Zombies and explosive body shields.
