To stop the haemorrhage of its permanent loss of players, Warzone 2 is preparing a season 2 rich in content. Unfortunately postponed to mid-February.
[Mis à jour le 27 janvier 2023 à 14h36] Four times fewer players on Steam, a category in decline in the most followed games on Twitch, Warzone 2 is definitely not going off the rails. A first season that was way too long, unbalanced and devoid of content got the better of the motivation of the majority of Warzone 2 players who are desperately waiting for changes on the side of Infinity Ward. For its part, the studio recently admitted its wrongs and announced the arrival of season 2 of the Battle Royale, a season which will be crucial in finally determining its relevance.
When is Warzone 2 season 2 coming out?
Warzone 2 season 2 will officially start on Wednesday, February 15, 2023. Season 2, originally scheduled for February 1, has been pushed back for various reasons in Activision’s words: “Warzone Season 2 will launch on February 15. Our studio teams are currently focusing on in-game quality of life improvements and various other positive changes for our players. Season 2 includes new content, with the return of Resurgence and a new scaled-down map for Warzone 2. Ranked matches are also back along with new multiplayer maps, new game modes, new weapons and more.”
What will be new in Warzone 2 Season 2?
As you will have understood, Activision has fully understood the latent dissatisfaction of players and content creators linked to Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, and intends to offer a rich range of new content with the arrival of the next season. In-game, this translates into various additions and changes, including the parcel and Gulag systems heavily criticized by players. New weapons, game modes and operators will join the content of the Battle Royale, and we can mention the Resurgence mode which will make its big return to the game alongside a new reduced-size map. A Hardcore mode should also make its appearance during season 2 in Modern Warfare 2, offering a more engaging experience for multiplayer players (less health points, less information on the HUD) and it could be that this addition is making its transition to Warzone 2 as a new game mode.
