Call of Duty: Warzone was released on March 10, 2020, and players are baffled by the lack of in-game content to commemorate the occasion on the two-year anniversary.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Warzone altered the course of the Call of Duty franchise, if not the entire gaming and esports landscape. According to EsportsEarnings, it’s been dubbed the most influential Call of Duty title of all time and has awarded nearly $9 million in prizes to tournament competitors.
Despite its significance, the second anniversary of Warzone’s release appears to have gone unnoticed in the game. There isn’t a single in-game change to commemorate the occasion, aside from a regularly scheduled playlist update.
While social media is ablaze with fans’ favorite highlights and moments from the game’s first two years, there is no celebration in Warzone itself. This has perplexed the community.
After seeing Raven Software, the game’s developers, tweet about the game’s second birthday, Redditors wondered why there was nothing in the game to commemorate the occasion.
A number of players responded with their explanations for the lack of new in-game content. The most popular response was a straightforward response to the situation.
Another agreed, saying that even if there was new in-game content to celebrate, players would “flood the comments” demanding that the developers fix other problems first.
While one user pointed out that there is no precedent for Warzone’s birthday being celebrated in-game, others appeared to have their hopes dashed. A new map, or even the return of Verdansk as a limited-time mode, has been requested by a number of players.
