When Do Warzone 1 Servers Shut Down?

Call of Duty: Warzone's shut down has been a popular topic among fans with the upcoming Warzone 2 release. Here's everything you need to know about Warzone's potential maintenance mode.

When Do Warzone 1 Servers Shut Down?

Fortunately, Activision has not released a statement on temporarily closing Warzone's servers, making players assume that a shutdown will be unlikely.

In June 2022, Activision announced the upcoming release of both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, including that Warzone will still exist as its own game. With this statement, players assumed that Warzone servers will still be functioning with the releases of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.

Warzone players can still enjoy their skins, progress, and achievements in the game, but some of these features will be unable to carry over into Warzone 2.

Fans can look forward to playing Warzone 2 on Nov. 16, which occurs 27 days after the launch of Modern Warfare 2's campaign. With the gap between Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, gamers can take their time enjoying all of the features of these Call of Duty games.

Call of Duty players can explore Al Mazrah, which is Warzone 2's launch map. Al Mazrah contains 18 unique points of interest.

Some players also speculate that Warzone 2's next map will be called Las Almas, but the new map has not been confirmed by developers.
