After a multitude of leaks and rumours over the past couple of weeks; Call of Duty: Warzone has been officially announced. It's a new battle royale game that will launch tomorrow for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players. The best part? You don't need to own a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or anything else; it's totally free-to-play.
Call of Duty: Warzone will go live on March 10th at 12:00 PDT/15:00 EDT/19:00 GMT. While a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare isn't a necessity, those that do have a copy can play Call of Duty: Warzone four hours before those that don't. For those without Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Call of Duty: Warzone could cost up to 101 GB but it will only be about 20 GB for those that do.
Warzone consists of two modes; there's a traditional battle royale mode which pits up to 150 players against each other and there's also an innovative, new mode called Plunder which tasks players with contracts wherein they must collect as much cash as they can from all across the map all the while fighting off enemy players.
While a PlayStation Plus membership isn't necessary to join in on the fun, those with one are entitled to some bonus goodies, those on Xbox will need an Xbox Live Gold membership and those on PC will require a Blizzard Battle.net account. The most unique aspect of Call of Duty: Warzone is the Gulag — which Activision explained on their blog:

Upon your first elimination, you will be taken as a “Prisoner of Warzone” and thrown into the Gulag. There you will await your fate and watch other prisoners fight to the death. When your turn is up, you’ll enter the Gulag and face-off against a single opponent in a 1v1 to earn the ultimate reward - redeployment. Win in the Gulag and earn redeployment back into Verdansk. Lose and hope that your squad completes Contracts and earns enough in-match Cash to redeploy you.
Call of Duty: Warzone comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on March 10th, 2020.
