Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera’s shutdown means fans have to move on to a newer battle royale, and they may be wondering about their cosmetics.
From 2019 to 2022, the original Call of Duty: Warzone served as the focal point of the franchise. Everything was tied to the successful free-to-play project, with the popularity of the battle royale game ensuring that the premium releases almost felt like less of a priority. Nearly everything in those titles would tie into Call of Duty: Warzone or be reused within it some way, from weapons and Operators to cosmetics and Prestige ranks. However, things changed a bit last year, and with the original Warzone’s shutdown now right around the corner, they are changing once again.
With the lack of a console FOV slider and the premium releases’ graphics outpacing those of the first Warzone, a new version was needed to coincide with the next-gen consoles. However, considering that the original Warzone had a bloating problem, as it featured all the weaponry and Operators from three heavily supported standalone games, a fresh start was needed. This meant that Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 would not allow players to bring over the cosmetics they earned and paid for, but for a while, Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera served as a workaround. Unfortunately, that will no longer be the case in a few months’ time. Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera’s Shutdown Means Cosmetics Are Lost for Battle Royale Fans
