Call of Duty Warzone Pacific Launches Next Week with Caldera Map

Written by Brandon Hofer on November 30, 2021

News: Some new content is headed to Warzone including an entirely new map, a dedicated playlist, new vehicles and weapons, and more.

Pack your bags, because you're headed to Paradise - the new home for Warzone Pacific known as Caldera is kicking off on December 8. Call of Duty: Vanguard owners will receive 24 hours of exclusive access to Caldera, the brand-new Warzone Pacific map that was built on learnings from the community, marking a new era of intense tactical combat on a massive scale. Featuring a dedicated Playlist with new vehicles and Vanguard weapons, Warzone Pacific’s first season kicks off another year of free content comprised of 15 huge, distinct areas to explore and fight across. In order for Vanguard players to access Warzone Pacific 24 hours early, they need to have played at least one Vanguard Multiplayer game.

As part of the Season One update, RICOCHET Anti-Cheat will deploy a new, internally developed kernel-level driver on PC to assist in identifying cheaters in Warzone. This will allow players to focus more on the fun new offerings in Warzone Pacific as #TeamRICOCHET fights unfair play with its new anti-cheat security initiative. This kernel-level driver is coming first to Warzone and will be required for all PC players as of this update.

Caldera and Warzone Pacific are just the beginning of the free content to be offered in Season One of Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone. Stay tuned for additional intel about two free functional weapons, new Operator, Zombies content, Multiplayer modes, and two maps all launching on December 8, including a Pacific-inspired take on a fan-favorite Call of Duty map. Later in the season fans can expect two more Operators, an additional core Multiplayer map and returning small-team tactical mode, additional Zombies info, another free weapon unlocked via Challenges, and a festive celebration across both games.

There will be 15 different areas for you to explore next week once Caldera is available. These areas include the following:

Arsenal

Docks

Runway

Ruins

Mines

Peak

Beachhead

Village

Lagoon

Airfield

Fields

Sub Pen

Each area will offer different challenges and different types of gameplay opportunities. Will you be jumping in when Caldera launches on December 8?
