In early March 2020, the release of Call of Duty: Warzone battle royale from Activision took place. Initially, the game was a multiplayer addition for Modern Warfare, which was released a few months earlier, but later the developers turned it into a separate title.
Now Activision is developing Warzone alongside the last part of the Call of Duty franchise called Black Ops Cold War. In December 2020, the developers combined the shooters, synchronizing all the content and player progress.
With the release of Warzone, players' interest in the battle royale genre has skyrocketed. The shooter from Activision instantly caught up with the popularity of PUBG, Apex Legends and Fortnite and took a significant part of the audience away from Modern Warfare.
At the moment, Warzone remains one of the most popular categories on Twitch, including among players from the CIS. While esports competitions are more popular in Modern Warfare, events organized by enthusiasts are in great demand in the royal battle.
In the new material, Streams Charts will tell you about the most popular community tournaments on Warzone, held in the second quarter of 2021, and their viewer activity.
