Call of Duty: Is Warzone going to shut down after Black Ops 7? Here’s all about Blackout 2 rumors

The future of Call of Duty: Warzone has come under discussion after recent leaks hinted that it could be replaced by Blackout 2. The developers have not confirmed any such plans, but social media posts have created uncertainty.

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.

No Official Word From Developers

Despite the viral post, no official statements have been made by the game’s publishers or developers. All the footage shown during the Xbox Games Showcase came from the Black Ops 7 campaign. The footage did not confirm anything related to the new battle royale experience.

Historically, battle royale updates and content for Call of Duty titles are revealed closer to launch. This pattern remains unchanged with Black Ops 7.

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.

Warzone May End After Black Ops 7

There is a possibility that Warzone could conclude after the 2026 release of Modern Warfare 4. TheGhostOfHope previously said that Warzone 3 would not release if the return of Verdansk failed to bring back players.

Player data has not been made public, so the impact of Verdansk’s return is still unknown. Whatever happens next may depend on the community’s continued interest.
