New Warzone 2 Map Could Be in the Works Based on Treyarch Job Listing

Treyarch could be working on a new map forCall of Duty: Warzone 2, according to a recently discovered job listing. The development of theCall of Duty: Warzoneseries of battle royale games has been a challenge to follow. Activision has brought in several of itsCall of Dutystudios to keep Warzone going, including Raven Software, Infinity Ward, and several others. That trend would appear to be continuing withCall of Duty: Warzone 2, with Treyarch potentially retaking the reins in the future.The originalCall of Duty: Warzonewas co-developed by Infinity Ward andRaven Software, launching shortly after Infinity Ward’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. By the release of Treyarch’sCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warin 2020, Raven Software was then credited as the game’s solo developer. Developers from both Infinity Ward and Raven Software admitted they were not prepared to deliver live service content efficiently, and Activision has worked hard to improve that since.RELATED:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Clip Spotlights Problematic Roze 2.0 SkinWith both Infinity Ward and Raven Software developingCall of Duty: Warzone 2, there was some question as to whether other studios would continue to be used to support the battle royale’s ongoing development. A job listing posted by Treyarch for a Senior Level Designer lists in its description that the position will work onCall of Duty: Warzonebuilding maps.Call of Duty: Warzoneisn’t the only game listed, asOutbreakand “other large map experiences” are also mentioned, though.

The job listing is supporting evidence for an earlier claim byCall of Dutyleaker TheGhostofHope. Hope previously said in October that Treyarch is leading map design for anewCall of Duty: Warzone’s 2map. They think this new job listing from Treyarch may be related, though there’s no clear indication of that.

Even if Treyarch is developing a map forCall of Duty: Warzone 2, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s doing so alone or that there are plans for Treyarch to take on an even larger role working on thebattle royale. Part of Hope’s claim is that other “support studios” are helping Treyarch by making and placing assets. In other words,Call of Duty: Warzone 2continues to be a multi-studio project much like the original game grew into.

It will be some time before this new map, made by Treyarch or otherwise, will be delivered forCall of Duty: Warzone 2. It’s said to be planned for 2024, to launch alongsideTreyarch’s next majorCall of Dutygame. As such, it can be seen as a routine update forCall of Duty: Warzone 2, coming as part of the battle royale’s planned live service content.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
