Season One ofCall of Duty: VanguardandWarzoneis only a matter of weeks away, and fans have been hopeful that the beginning of a new year means we’ll finally haveWarzoneremoved from theModern Warfareapp.

AsWarzoneis completely free-to-play, it would make sense for it to be a completely standalone app, instead of being bundled with a 2-year-old title. Or, at the bare minimum, at least integrate the app into the latestCall of Dutytitle? Which this year would beCall of Duty: Vanguard.

WhilstWarzoneis still integrated withModern Warfare, it also means a next-gen version of the popular Battle Royale can’t happen until the two are separated. Many fans were hopeful that the separation would occur with Season One ofCall of Duty: Vanguard, but a new leak has suggested that may not be the case.

Leak SuggestsWarzoneWon’t Move ToCall of Duty: Vanguard

Sebas4412, aCall of Dutyleaker and data miner, has been digging through some of theWarzoneandCall of Duty: Vanguardgame files in an attempt to find out as much as possible surrounding the upcomingWarzoneevent andVanguardintegration.

During Sebas' deep dive, a look at the UI was discovered for the upcomingVanguardintegration. The UI, which can be seen below, has ‘Vanguard Exclusive Early Access’ in a yellow banner across various game modes. For those that don’t know,Call of Duty: Vanguardowners will be able to play the newWarzonePacific a day early.

As these game files were likely discovered inside ofWarzone/Modern Warfareit likely means the two will stay integrated. If this wasn’t the case, the UI files discovered wouldn’t be there at all.

In Sebas' tweet sharing this information, they said that it “pretty much confirms thatWarzoneisn’t separating anytime soon”. Meaning thatWarzonewill be staying inside of theModern Warfareapp for a little longer, as opposed to being separated at the beginning of Season One on December 8th.

Of course, as always with leaks, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt. Plans are always changing behind the scenes, and game files don’t always confirm what’s going to take place in the future.

ensure to let us know in the comments below, are you expectingWarzoneto become a separate app soon? Or at least be moved into theVanguardapp?
