Speculation Begins

Rumors about Warzone’s end began with a post from content creator Reave. The post claimed that Warzone would be “officially sunsetted” to make way for Blackout 2. The post received more than 700,000 views and spread quickly across gaming communities.

Reave stated that Blackout 2 will arrive in Season 2 of Black Ops 7. According to the post, Blackout 2 will be available only on next-generation consoles and PC.

The post also claimed that the current version of Warzone, including Verdansk and Rebirth, would only support limited modes. These modes would include casual solo and quads for battle royale.

Leakers Share Conflicting Views

The rumors have not been verified by reliable leakers. TheGhostOfHope, a leaker with a strong record, said the Avalon map was originally planned for campaign or Outbreak modes, not battle royale.

They mentioned that unless developers made technical changes, Avalon would not be part of Warzone. There were also questions about whether big maps could be supported on older consoles like PS4 and Xbox One.
