The long-rumoured Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 DMZ mode, which may be a free-to-play game similar to Call of Duty: Warzone.
inspired by Call of Duty: Warzone's emergent gameplay.
Now, a new report by Warzone 2 in Q1 2023 - although may be released as an independent free-to-play beta instead.
The report describes DMZ as an open-world game of sorts, with a storyline that continues on from the main Modern Warfare 2 campaign. The gameplay will include characters, fronts, quests, and both PvP and PvE combat encounters - much like Escape from Tarkov, of course.
The report concludes that Call of Duty DMZ is currently down for a reveal in August. As per usual with reports like this, however, take everything as unconfirmed until Activision actually announces it.
In other Call of Duty rumour news, also working on an open-world RPG game - which may turn out to be DMZ, of course, if Activision is really pushing the RPG aspects.
