According to a recent leak, Warzone is getting a ranked mode and that”s even before the release of Modern Warfare II.
Unexpected news for the Warzone community. According to a leak, the Battle Royale shooter will soon get its own ranked mode.
Better late than never?
According to well-known CoD leaker TheGhostOfHope, Warzone is finally getting a ranked mode over two years after its release. The news came as a surprise to the Warzone community, which is already eagerly awaiting a release date for Warzone 2.0. By the way, this could also be the reason for the change of mind of the CoD developers to introduce a ranked mode in Warzone after all.
Many assume that the new mode is a kind of test run for Warzone 2.0. This would be supported by the time limit of the mode for the time being.
Ranked mode for current Warzone is coming before MWII releases. Will not be a full fledged ranked mode but will be THE blueprint they use going into Warzone 2. Will be released on Current Warzone for testing purposes. Caldera only. Doesn”t look like it”ll be released for FK/RI. pic.twitter.com/C3SrsVpuqN

As Ghost further informs, the mode is limited to Caldera only and will not be playable on Fortune”s Keep and Rebirth Island. He could not say whether modes like Iron Trials or special events will be playable in the mode. Should the leak actually be confirmed, this would be a daring step for Warzone. After all, there is not even an SBMM (Skill-Base-Matchmaking) yet, the introduction of which always leads to discussions within the community.
Trial Rabbit
On Twitter, the first comments can already be read that the Warzone community is nothing more than a guinea pig for Warzone 2.0. While the developers still haven”t got to grips with many of the problems such as bugs, cheaters and dubious skins in Warzone, these are mentally already in development for Warzone 2.0, whose release date has still not been announced.
Whether the new mode is similar to the one in Vanguard or something entirely new remains to be seen. Ghost could not say the exact date for the introduction of the mode, but the earliest we can assume is Season 5, which is still a long way off. In any case, the release should take place before the release of Modern Warfare II on 28 October. We can only speculate about where the sudden interest of the developers in a ranked mode in Warzone comes from. For example, a better marketing of Warzone 2.0 at tournaments and in esports would be conceivable.
Only recently, another leak confirmed that MW II will also have a ranked mode, and even sooner than expected.
