The official Call of Duty app sent players a mysterious message yesterday about an event happening in Call of Duty: Warzone on Thursday, May 21, possibly in connection to Season 4. The notification is cryptic but players think it could mean a major change is coming to the Warzone map, Verdansk, sometime soon. A video teaser released alongside shows a fan-favorite character could be joining. It’s the most recognizable character in the series history–Captain John Price–and it was just a matter of time before he showed up.
The notification, which went out to everyone who has the app downloaded on Wednesday, mentions a “tactical alert” happening on Thursday and for players to maintain “vigilance on enemy comms for location of enemy surveillance.” Some players believe this is related to the newly-opened bunkers that contain a nuclear warhead and rare items, going as far to say the warhead will be use to level part of the map. We’re less than two weeks away from a new season for Warzone so this could be a teaser ahead of a new battle pass. A video teaser adds further fuel to the Price rumor fire, as his signature hat is visible.
The notification mentions an event happening at 4:37 PT / 7:37 ET on May 19 which aligns with when some of the first bunkers were opened in-game.
No concrete evidence about what will happen has been found, but community speculation has run rampant with players suggesting this could feature news about a new Call of Duty: Black Ops game, the 2020 entry in the series, or something for the fourth season of Warzone.
