Speaking to GamesRadar+, Infinity Ward design director Geoff Smith explained that as Warzone "continues to be updated over time, it will evolve and become tied to other games in the Call of Duty universe."
"Although Warzone is very closely tied to Modern Warfare, it was designed from the beginning as its own game," continued Smith, adding that "It’s extremely important to us that the game continues to evolve."

"It’s going to be really cool to see how the different sub-franchises sort of come in and out of focus, but Warzone will be the one constant,” he continued, explaining that "I know that our plan is Warzone is going to be around for quite some time, so as soon as those new systems [the PS5 and Xbox Series X] are out and available, I’m sure we’ll support them."
