Speaking to GamesRadar+ (opens in new tab), Infinity Ward design director Geoff Smith explained that as Warzone “continues to be updated over time, it will evolve and become tied to other games in the Call of Duty universe.”

“Although Warzone is very closely tied to Modern Warfare, it was designed from the beginning as its own game,” continued Smith, adding that “It’s extremely important to us that the game continues to evolve.”
