A new battle royale game map to match this year's Call of Duty: Vanguard. Here's when you'll be able to play on Caldera.
First off, you'll want to know when you can pre-load the update. That begins tonight, December 7, at 9pm PT, which translates to December 8 12am ET / 5am GMT. This is also when Warzone servers will go offline to start the changeover to the new Season 1 and Caldera map.
December 8, players who own Call of Duty: Vanguard will be able to start playing Warzone on Caldera at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT. These players will have exclusive access to the map for 24 hours, although everyone else will still be able to play on the Rebirth Island map for some 'mini' battle royale action.
Here's the full breakdown of the Season One launch week, courtesy of the official Call of Duty Twitter feed:

Activision Blizzard is facing a lawsuit here.
In September, an agency of the US federal government opened an investigation into Activision Blizzard's response to sexual misconduct and discrimination complaints from its employees, as part of which Kotick has letter to employees, the company has announced an end to forced arbitration, a $250 million initiative to improve diversity, and a major pay cut for Kotick.
A new report published this November now alleges Bobby Kotick knew about and suppressed reports of sexual misconduct. Kotick has responded with an official statement saying the Wall Street Journal's article "paints an inaccurate and misleading view of our company, of me personally, and my leadership." In reply, Activision Blizzard's board of directors declared it "remains confident" in Kotick's leadership.
