Anti-Cheat Could Finally Be Coming to Call of Duty: Warzone

Call of Duty: Warzone leaker Tom Henderson has claimed anti-cheat is on its way. Which planet do we have to thank for this?

Yes, your prayers have finally been answered. We're not sure which deity influenced Activision to invest in the software but, according to credible Twitter informant Tom Henderson, (@_Tom_Henderson_), an actual anti-cheat program could show up in Warzone.

Anti-Cheat Could Finally Be Coming to Call of Duty: Warzone

Henderson tweeted the information from his personal Twitter account in the late evening of Wednesday, Aug. 11. According to him, the new system will release alongside COD: Vanguard—meaning players won't see it until Nov. 5, at the latest.

"A new anti-cheat system for the next Call of Duty title has been in development for over a year." He wrote, "The same system will be implemented into Warzone."

It's no secret players are completely fed up with the state of Warzone. Larger creators like JGOD have expressed frustration and disappointment with the seemingly never-ending stream of hackers plaguing the game. Others, like NICKMERCS, have jumped ship to other titles such as Apex Legends.

Such feelings are well warranted, of course. Despite Raven Software's recent ban wave that same day, replies to Henderson's tweet claimed that it didn't help much.

User @lordfaximus wrote, "The game needs it NOW not October or November. Its unplayable right now. Hopped on after the ban wave and 3/3 games had hackers."

"Even on rebirth the amount of hackers I'd ridiculous... '50,000 accounts banned yesterday'. Do they not realise they have about 20 accounts each," user @iamdougmac1 added.

Others mused that it simply might be too late for Warzone. The game has been infested with bugs, cheaters, and the like practically since its launch in March 2020. It's possible that other games with potentially stronger reputations or popularity could overtake Activision's Battle Royale by the time Vanguard releases in the Fall—Splitgate and Battlefield being among the most popular names mentioned.

DBLTAP currently cannot confirm the existence of the software, at all, nor can we verify a release date for Vanguard. However, it's worth noting that Henderson is known to be credible with information like this.
