New Warzone Trailer Shows Off ‘Caldera’ Map

Warzone fans get ready, a new map is going to be hitting your screens soon. Activision has officially revealed the new area we’re going to be exploring called Caldera. Finally, something different from Verdansk.

According to an image of the map, the Caldera era will begin with ‘Operation Vulcan’ and be set in December 1944. For those unfamiliar with their WW2 history, Operation Vulcan was one of the final ground attacks by the Allied forces against the Italian and German forces in North Africa. Whilst the game most likely won’t incorporate this into the game play, it’s interesting to know what the name could’ve been inspired from.

In addition to this, the image shows off 15 district areas players will be dropping into. Also, there seems to be various points of interest located which could give players early insight into where most of the action will happen. The 15 main zones are Arsenal, Docks, Runway, Ruins, Mines, Peak, Beachhead, Village, Lagoon, Airfield, Fields, Sub Pen, Power Plant, Capital and Resort. Clearly, it looks like they’ll be plenty of room to explore here.
