Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play battle royale game developed and published by Activision. Released on March 10, 2020. Warzone is part of the 2019 title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare but does not require purchasing it. The game is part of the Call of Duty franchise, with cross-platform play and progression across both games.

The celebration includes the introduction of several new War Track packs filled with hip-hop music for players to enjoy.

The new season of Call of Duty Warzone is set to launch on August 2 at 9 AM PT across all platforms.
