It has been confirmed that the new Warzone map taking on a small-form size fit for Resurgence is called ‘Area 99’. This solidifies earlier rumours about the map’s identity, but while we now know what it’ll be called, we don’t know too much more about the map.
Back in June, insiders claimed that Area 99 would be released during Black Ops 6’s lifecycle, but it was never set in stone exactly when it would drop.
Coming Soon
In one week, we’ll be sitting down to watch Call of Duty: Next, the in-depth showcase that reveals everything coming in the Call of Duty space. It’ll give us the lowdown on Black Ops 6, as well as offering a look at other titles like Call of Duty Mobile and competitive elements like the Call of Duty League.
It was confirmed in an image shared on Twitter by CharlieIntel that the map will be revealed in full at Call of Duty: Next, an event that’ll include live gameplay and a deep dive into the map’s features with Raven Software.
In recent news, Activision confirmed that it’ll be separating Call of Duty Warzone from the wider Call of Duty hub to run it as a separate product and cut down on installation sizes.
It can be argued that the small-form Warzone maps are more popular than the larger environments. This map is sure to be a winner based on that alone, but we’ll know much more for certain on August 28, when Call of Duty: Next takes place. You can watch last year’s Call of Duty: Next here.
