Call of Duty’s anticipated yet still unannounced DMZ mode could arrive after Modern Warfare 2 as part of Warzone 2, ratings for the games have suggested. Activision recently announced that Warzone 2 will launch later this year, soon after the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 release date of October 28. Featuring “a new sandbox mode” and a “brand-new playspace”, Warzone 2 will be available for PC as well as current and last-gen consoles, as will Modern Warfare 2, the publisher said in June. Call of Duty: Warzone Season Five ‘Last Stand' CinematicSubscribe to VGC on YouTube Both titles have been newly rated by the ESRB, and notably DMZ is referenced in the Warzone 2 classification. “This is a first-person shooter, set in the Call of Duty universe, in which players engage in a variety of multiplayer combat events (e.g., battle royale, plunder-style skirmishes/DMZ),” it reads. DMZ isn’t referenced in the ESRB’s Modern Warfare 2 classification. Reporting for Try Hard Guides in July, well informed writer Tom Henderson claimed that DMZ will be an extraction game mode tied to the premium Modern Warfare 2, rather than being offered as a free-to-play experience like Warzone. And earlier this month, one LA Rams football player invited to play Modern Warfare 2 early seemingly confirmed the inclusion of DMZ, which is reportedly inspired by Escape from Tarkov, via an image shared on Twitter.
