After a botched previous attempt at Battle Royal, the Soros backed, Chinese puppet publisher Activision/Blizzard has announced their second attempt at entering the Battle Royal market with Warzone. A free to play game that will be available for everyone tomorrow.
The trailer itself isn’t anything special or even all that informing. Filled with the typical ambiguous yet exciting looking gameplay shots dubbed over with a popular song while providing few substantial bits of information. Other than that it is a free to play Call of Duty game with two modes.
Twas yesterday when a private video on Chaos Gaming youtube channel was discovered that went into considerably more detail regarding the now announced stand alone battle royal mode. Naturally after being discovered the video was taken down, but not before others were able to download and mirror the video.
Don’t expect much from the video itself outside details. It is your standard given early access affair where the channel has nothing, but good things to say and even gets caught in a few deceptive obvious marketing talking points. Full details below.
