Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward has announced that their upcoming titles Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 will run on a totally new engine that has been in development for years.
The Call of Duty website revealed that Infinity Ward will be leading the development of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. While not many details about the brand-new engine have been revealed, features revealed about the upcoming titles may allude to the engine's capabilities.
Warzone 2 is said to be a whole new Battle Royale experience in a new playspace, and it will also feature a sandbox mode. Warzone 2 seems to have some ambitious features, but Infinity Ward will not be alone in its development. Raven Software will return to help with Warzone 2's development and the new engine.
According to Infinity Ward, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is aiming for a Fall 2022 release. Warzone 2 is expected to release alongside it, the same way Modern Warfare (2019) and Warzone launched. However, Warzone 2 will not be integrated with Warzone or the previous Call of Duty titles, so it will be a fresh slate of content on a new engine.
