The new date for theCall of Duty: Warzoneintegration is December 16th, with players being given two free bundles as an apology for the delay. Players who log on between December 8th and December 15th will be given access to the bundles, which include operator skins, weapon blueprints, and other cosmetics.
While it is unclear what the cause is for such a delay, theNuke event that has been rumoredcould be a cause, as the supposed launch of Verdansk’s dormant nuke is set to be quite the spectacle. Beyond that, the potential delay could give the developers time to focus on improving the current state ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, as the game’s endlessly growing number of glitches are in need of a fix.
With there already being some pros andcons forCall of Duty: WarzoneintegratingCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warcontent, it is important that the transition goes as smoothly as possible for the crossover. WithCall of Duty: Warzonebeing the massive success that it is, the integration being something negative for the battle royale game is something Activision surely does not want to happen. With the crossover introducing some complicated new systems, too, the delay is understandable.
Still, while it is only a week-long delay, it would be hard to blameCall of Dutyfans for being a bit disappointed.
