In November 2022, the game went offline for a few weeks so Activision could focus on launching a successor, which was called Warzone 2.0 at the time, but the number has since disappeared from the name.
The original Warzone was relaunched as a stripped-down Warzone Caldera, named after the World War II-themed island map that replaced the launch map Verdansk.

In Caldera, players could access all purchased or unlocked skins and weapons from the three premium Call of Duty games that aren’t compatible with the new Warzone. Activision announced in June that it planned to end support for the game this month to focus on other Call of Duty content.
