With Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard's Season Two drawing to a close, many fans have been wondering what will be next for the island of Caldera. Season Two Reloaded brought new content for players towards the end of March this year, and now both the latest Call of Duty game and its battle royale are getting another update for the end of April, officially ending Season Two and bringing a new storyline involving nuclear weapons.
Despite being set in WWII, Call of Duty: Vanguard is not particularly known for perfect historical accuracy. Cosmetic items for guns and characters were not available during the Second World War, for example. From the looks of the Season 3 trailer, Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard will be taking events even further. However, this doesn't mean that the narratives of the games can't be entertaining at least. According to the trailer, Nazis now have their hands on weapons of mass destruction, and have been looking to use them on Call of Duty's fictional Caldera island.
In the trailer, the Harpy team is sent out to prevent the Nazis destroying Caldera, thus saving the setting for future Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard seasons. The most interesting piece of information for fans comes towards the end of the cinematic trailer, which shows that a new threat stronger than any weapons is coming to Call of Duty: Warzone. Many fans are speculating that the "Monsterverse" will be coming to Call of Duty, including the appearance of characters like Godzilla and King Kong.
Godzilla could appear in the game, considering how the King of Monsters draws his powers from nuclear energy in the most recent iteration of the character. The part of Caldera shown off in the trailer also featured what looked to be a jungle, similar to that of Skull Island which is King Kong's residence. How these two monsters will interact with the gameplay in Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard is unknown, but it seems unlikely that the games will see a re-enactment of Kong vs Godzilla.
Some fans in the comments section of the trailer noted how Call of Duty: Warzone's problems may have caused the game to think of something entirely new. For months now, players and streamers such as TimtheTatMan and Dr Disrespect have been critiquing both Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard, saying that the game's Caldera map "feels dead." Bringing Godzilla to the game may not fix some of its other problems though, such as cheating that remains an issue even in the Call of Duty pro scene.
Call of Duty: Vanguard is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
