Call of Duty: Warzone is moving closer to its second season for the Pacific era of the battle royale. After several delays due to ongoing issues with Pacific and the Caldera map, Raven Software is finally ready to take the next step. As part of the process, Raven has issued an apology for the current state of Call of Duty: Warzone, along with promises of improvement. Raven has also shared some exciting information about Pacific Season 2, revealing a schedule for the playlists available in it first five weeks.
The five-week schedule features playlist plans for both Caldera and Rebirth Island. Caldera alternates between offering Solos, Duos, and Trios for either Vanguard Royale or Battle Royale, with Quads available full-time for each. It also alternates between Plunder Quads and Vanguard Plunder Quads week to week. Lastly, 50 vs. 50 Clash will be available for the final two weeks of February, and Resurgence Quads will be available the third week of March.
Rebirth Island is where the schedule gets interesting, however. Going forward, Rebirth Island playlists will include Duos, Trios, and Quads for all five weeks. That's right, the ever-popular Rebirth Island Trios playlist will be available full-time, at least for the foreseeable future. And if Trios isn't a player's favorite, they'll have Duos and Quads available, too. It's a much-requested addition and Raven's going to score some points with the Warzone community for that alone.
In addition to the Resurgence Duos, Trios, and Quads being available for all five weeks, the popular Iron Trials playlist for Rebirth Island will also be making a return. A Duos playlist will be available for the weeks starting March 3 and March 10. There's some disappointment that Iron Trials won't be offered on Caldera itself, but it's possible that Raven is trying to ensure the playlist is well-populated with the smaller map and team size.
Despite the negative atmosphere within the Call of Duty: Warzone community in recent months, players really do want the battle royale to succeed. They're still playing the game despite its issues, after all. Being acknowledged, even in small ways like having Rebirth Island's Resurgence playlists well-supported, will go a long way.
Season 2 of Call of Duty: Warzone will officially begin on February 14. The roadmap for Season 2's confirmed playlists is just one part of Raven's plans. Other changes include improvements to mantling and parachuting, as well as a diverse range of balance changes. Plus, beyond Season 2, Call of Duty Warzone will get an engine upgrade with the release of the new Call of Duty game in late 2022. Things are moving forward for Call of Duty: Warzone. Hopefully, players remain happy along the way.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
