- Warzone Season 3 is out now with new weapons, operators, blueprints, and more! Experience epic game modes in the best battle royale game available. Download for free on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X or PC.
- Before you get your hopes up, however, it’s worth noting that neither Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 or Modern Warfare (2019) is available on Steam. Warzone is tied into the world of Modern Warfare.
Unfortunately, players who were hoping to hear that Call of Duty: Warzone does have a campaign will be disappointed. No, the Battle Royale game does not have a campaign that players can jump in and experience. The Battle Royale game takes characters, settings, weapons, vehicles, and more from the campaign of Modern Warfare. However, only players who have purchased the full version of Modern Warfare can enjoy the latest campaign in the first-person shooter franchise. Call of Duty: Warzone players who have the free version of the game do not have access to the single-player story for the latest title in the series.
Call Of Duty Warzone Steam Unlocked
It is unlikely that Call of Duty: Warzone will ever get a dedicated campaign for players to experience, as future campaigns are likely to be created only for the main series of games that release yearly for the franchise. Elements of these new campaigns are expected to make their way into the Battle Royale. Still, individuals who like to experience the storytelling side of the high-octane and action-packed games will have to purchase the new yearly release if they want to experience this game mode and will not be able to do so by only having the free-to-play Battle Royale.
Modern Warfare easily had one of the best campaigns that the franchise has ever seen in recent memory, so players who are interested in playing the latest one should highly consider upgrading to the full version of Modern to do so. They will not be disappointed with the story that Infinity Ward created by rebooting the Modern Warfare series universe, which has a plethora of fan-favorite characters and much more for players to enjoy in a completely new way.
