UPDATE: COD DMZ isn't free-to-play, coming in 2022 with Modern Warfare II
Info, assets, and details for Call of Duty Modern Warfare II's DMZ have been datamined and leaked onto the internet, showing gamers what they can expect from the new free-to-play gametype.
Dataminers have found a ton of info on new Call of Duty games nestled in the Warzone mobile alpha test, including details about the upcoming standalone DMZ mode. Previous reports say that COD's DMZ gametype is similar to Escape from Tarkov and will be free-to-play with a planned 2023 release. That's on top of Warzone 2, which will be separate from Warzone 1 and release shortly after Modern Warfare 2 in October with full stat and content resets.
The leaks give a better idea of what Call of Duty's DMZ mode will offer. Codenamed "Nexus", the mode has reportedly been in development for 4 years and will combine campaign story content with PvPvE action, not unlike Halo 5's Warzone mode. A number of mission string parameters have been leaked out to show the kinds of activities and objectives that players will be taking on in Nexus.
Be aware that the mode hasn't been finalized and neither Activision nor Infinity Ward have formally announced the DMZ mode.
