Developer Raven Software confirms that a 'dedicated technology team' is working on proper PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of Call of Duty: Warzone.

Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone has arrived, and with it comes a new battle royale map, a fresh battle pass, plenty of balancing changes, and much more. Fans seem to be happy with Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone so far, but the developer is already looking to what comes next, as Raven Software recently revealed that it is working on "next-gen" versions of the popular first-person-shooter for PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Call of Duty: Warzone received an update for next-gen consoles last year, but for the most part the change was more of a half-measure. According to the creative director at Raven Software, Amos Hodge, an enhanced version that will take full advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S technologies is on the way.

Hodge says that a "dedicated technology team" is working on bringing Call of Duty: Warzone to this now current generation, although no exact timetable was given. Some of the things that the enhanced version of the game will do is support 120Hz, faster load times, and utilize the SSD tech. It is likely that the PS5 version would also take advantage of the DualSense Haptic Feedback controller abilities, as well.

One of the other major things that Raven has mentioned is finally bringing an FOV slider to consoles for Call of Duty: Warzone, something that fans have been clamoring for for a very long time. This would allow players to pull back the camera and see a bit more on screen, which is especially important in the cross-platform competitive setting that Warzone provides. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game should be able to handle this setting.

Call of Duty: Warzone is here to stay. Activision and Raven have made it clear that the battle royale will be around for years to come, as this new season is just the latest example of game-altering content and fresh experiences that players can look forward to. Moving forward, the hope is that the Warzone integration with other Call of Duty games will be more seamless, as there were some bumps and bruises with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. But the starting point for all of that is the need to bring the game truly into this now current (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) generation. There are a lot of features that players have been asking for or they will enjoy, and the technology is now there for the utilizing.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Proper Xbox Series X|S and PS5 versions are in development.
