Warzone download: how to get the latest season
Find your Warzone download for Caldera or Warzone 2 now
Finding a Warzone download will be a top priority for those looking to return to Caldera Island after the game's relaunch.
The blood-drenched battle royale from the makers of Call Of Duty keeps each new season armed to the teeth with hench guns, a new operator, plenty of map changes, reworks to Caldera, and even a crossover with Godzilla and King Kong.
With Warzone soon to be relaunched as Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera, this changes things a little bit – and you might be wondering how you can find a Warzone 2 download, being the new companion title that goes hand-in-hand with Modern Warfare 2.
Remember that as players familiarize themselves with Warzone 2 after it launches on November 16, you won't be able to play or download Warzone from November 15th until it is relaunched at the end of the month as Warzone Caldera.
A totally separate offering from Warzone Caldera, Warzone 2 still functions as a free-to-play battle royale. You still have to make a run for it and use your smarts to stay out of sight, especially given how powerful some loadouts can be.
Keen to get started? You're in the right place. With this guide, we will walk you through how to get your Warzone downloads set up quickly and painlessly so you can get out there and start raking in those wins, no matter who you're up against or which iteration of the game you opt for.

From November 16 to November 28, the first Warzone game will go offline as the CoD team focuses on the launch of Modern Warfare 2's first season as well as the launch of companion battle royale Warzone 2.
This means you won't be able to play Warzone until it relaunches on November 28 as Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera.
If you're looking for it on console, Warzone Caldera will be listed like any other Call of Duty title on the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store and should be easy to find.
On PC you'll need to grab Warzone from Battle.net (you'll need the Battle.net desktop app for PC or Mac to start). Activision owns Blizzard (and in turn, is owned by Microsoft) which is why Warzone is being pushed through Blizzard's Battle.net portal – and the download should be around 100-125GB.
You won't be able to download this game via Steam or Epic Games Store, in case you were wondering.
