November 16th at 10 A.M Pacific time but Two hours before that the original war Zone servers will go offline for 12 days So that developers can focus on ensuring The new Warzone 2.0 free to play Ecosystem is running effectively I have a hunch they probably also want People to check out the brand new Version they've been working hard on uh But at least you know it's free so There's that For anyone itching for classic war zone Rest assured the servers will be back Online November 18th at 10 A.M Pacific Time and Warzone 1.0 will be rebranded As Warzone Caldera the blog also notes That Cosmetics from Warzone will not Carry over to the new game but Activision will compensate Wars on Players with gifts in 2.0 the Caldera Relaunch is considered a separate game And not tied to Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2.0 content including the new Battle pass and store bundles battle Pass content weapons store bundles XP Weapon XP player progression cross Progression or other purchases from Call Of Duty Modern Warfare war zone Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard will be Accessible only within Warzone Caldera Or within the respective games Cod Points will be transferable between all Games but Double XP and double weapon XP Tokens will not be transferable between
2.0 and Caldera on relaunch Call of Duty Caldera will not have an ingame store And neither rebirth island or Fortune's Keep Maps will be present Activision Offered an explanation for the changes Within the patch notes stating this is Due to a combination of feedback from The Community Technical limitations and A need to simplify the next and newest War zone to create a seamless player Experience moving forward This might be a disappointment for some Players but there's a ton of new content To look forward to like the new escape From tarkov like mode DMZ and hey look On the bright side at least Warzone 2.0 Didn't completely replace the previous Version like a certain other shooter Released by Active Vision blizzard this Fall not naming names but you know who I'm talking about Netrunners Edge Runners tunes and gunks Listen up as CD projekt Red has Confirmed cyberpunk 2077's next major Expansion Phantom Liberty will be paid DLC when it is released in 2023. now Before you jump the gun and get upset I Have a Suspicion this might be a good Indication of what's to come According to Games Radar CD projekt Red's Global PR director radek Grabowski Confirmed for the first time the Expansion would not be free DLC similar
To the recent Edge Runner update Although gabrasti did not confirm a Price yet fans can expect a hefty Addition of new story content missions a New cast of characters and expansion of Night City and a lot more instead of Just Cosmetics weapons and Easter eggs This is not the first time cdpr has Charged for new content for its biggest Games The Witcher 3 wild Hunt received Free and paid add-on content like the Blood and wine expansion which featured A whole new map for 1999 USD fans and How one to beat.com States it was about 15 hours plus in length with some Consensus stating a completionist run is In the range of 30 to 50 hours long Grabowski accentuated that quote our Expansions are traditionally cheaper Than full price games so we can assume That Phantom Liberty will be cheaper Than cyberpunk 2077's 60 price tag since CD projekt didn't confirm the new Content would come in at the same price As wild hunts blood and wine that leads Me to believe that Phantom Liberty may Be bigger in scale So with that in mind would you pay let's Say forty dollars for cyberpunk 2077 DLC Expansion if it came with over 50 hours Of gameplay and content maybe more for a Completionist run that's less than a Dollar for every hour of content and if Not what's the most you're willing to
