TheCall of Dutyfranchise is going to be extremely busy this year. Not only has new content been released regularly forCall of Duty: Vanguard,Call of Duty: Warzone, andCall of Duty Mobile, but by the end of the year, at least two moreCoDgames will be joining the fray. On October 28,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2will launch worldwide, and Activision has made it clear that it plans on releasing the highly-anticipatedCall of Duty: Warzone 2by year’s end as well.
Activision has not announced a release date forCall of Duty: Warzone 2yet, but it seems the planned date has leaked online. A screenshot of what is said to be an internal document from Activision Blizzard was shared on theWorld of Warcraft Classicsubreddit, later picked up on by Charlie Intel. The image claims to show important dates for Activision for the rest of 2022, and one such date is the apparentCall of Duty: Warzone 2release date.

If the image is legitimate, then it seems theCall of Duty: Warzone 2release dateis Wednesday, November 16 at 10am PT. It’s entirely possible that the image has been doctored, or the information is outdated, and soCoDfans should certainly keep that in mind. However, a November 16 release date would make sense, for a couple of different reasons.
For one, November is typically the biggest month of the year for new game releases, and so it would make sense for Activision to capitalize on the hype by launchingCall of Duty: Warzone 2around that time.Warzone 2would have an immediate advantage over the other big games releasing in November because it will most likely be free-to-play, whereas the other games launching that month will be premium titles. Secondly, this would putWarzone 2a couple of weeks out fromModern Warfare 2’s launch, allowing thepremiumCoDexperienceto have some time in the spotlight before potentially drawing players away from it. We’ve seen Rockstar Games employ a similar strategy when it comes to introducing the online modes forGrand Theft Auto 5andRed Dead Redemption 2with great success.
Luckily, fans don’t have to wait too much longer to get their answers aboutCall of Duty: Warzone 2. TheCall of Duty: Warzone 2reveal eventis scheduled for September 15, and it’s quite possible that it will include a release date announcement for the BR. But before fans get too excited, it should be stressed that Activision has not actually detailed its plans forWarzone 2at the reveal event, so it’s important to keep that in mind.
