On September 21st, Activision Blizzard will turn off the servers for the original Call of Duty: Warzone.
In 2020, a free-to-play version of the battle royale game was introduced. After the release of Warzone 2.0, the old game was renamed Warzone Caldera.
Caldera’s progress will halt as resources are redirected to supplying the ongoing Warzone.
Activision said in a statement, “Content acquired in Warzone Caldera will continue to be available in Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, and Vanguard.”
“Please keep in mind that the Warzone Caldera shutdown has no effect on present Warzone gameplay, stock, or gamer development in Al Mazrah or the other offered maps.”
