Since Call of Duty: Warzone is an online, live service game, the developers need to churn out a steady stream of content that keeps players coming back for more. Narrative director Taylor Kurosaki told VentureBeat the dev team is planning limited-time Fortnite-esque events that will alter the world. He didn’t say what the team has in store, just that “it’ll all make sense, and it’ll all feel appropriate to the universe.”
Normally, this would raise the question of what is appropriate for Call of Duty, but many players already have some good ideas: nukes and zombies. Now, nukes are nothing new to Call of Duty, as the Tactical Nuke is a popular killstreak that is difficult to earn but a guaranteed game ender when it lands. Many players float the theory that a future Warzone event will feature nukes, and keycards will play a major role in the mode. Players might use the keycards to launch the nukes or enter the bunkers to avoid the nukes.
As for zombies, they have been synonymous with Call of Duty since Call of Duty: World at War up until Black Ops 4. Many players believe zombies might return in Warzone — complete with a use for keycards — as the game features some subtle nods to the Zombies game mode. For instance, sometimes when Warzone’s circle changes, the Zombies mode round change music plays. Plus, many players have heard inhuman screams emanating from the game’s dam.
Now, these noises do not mean zombies will appear in the game and could simply be cute Easter eggs — or dog howls. But if zombies will soon swarm Warzone, perhaps the Red Access Cards will play a vital role in the zombie mode. Maybe players will need to find keycards that open bunkers to escape the undead horde? You’ll have to wait and see.
