The first Call of Duty: Warzone game, Caldera, will no longer be playable from September 21. Activision says it wants to focus on other Call of Duty games, including Warzone 2. Progress and inventories from Caldera will not be transferred to the second Warzone game.
“All Caldera gameplay, player progression, inventories, and online services will expire” on September 21, writes Activision. Content players purchased in the first Warzone game will remain available in the 2019 games Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, and Vanguard. But that content will not be included in Warzone 2.
Call of Duty: Warzone was released in March 2020 and is a free-to-play multiplayer battle royale game. The successor Warzone 2.0 was released at the end of last year, which includes a new map and additional functions, such as Proximity Chat.
Activision then re-released the first Warzone game and renamed it Warzone Caldera. The Caldera version did miss a few features and maps that the game previously had; three of the four playing fields were unplayable in Caldera and a three-player mode had also been removed from the game.
