Call of Duty® Season 3  : Warzone™ 2.0  is the perfect time to play the DMZ as it introduces new features that will change the way operators stock up on contraband, keys, and other equipment. If you’re looking for a high-stakes mode with plenty of ongoing rewards, this seasonal update is the perfect time to start playing—or replaying—with new ways to store valuable items, edit contraband, and survive in exclusion zones.

Modern Warfare 3 will finally release on November 10th, ushering in a new era for Call of Duty. The 2022 sequel to MW2 will feature a new Aftermarket Gunsmith feature, as well as the popular Zombies mode, a first for the Modern Warfare series.

This will also mark a new chapter for Warzone, which will receive a completely new map and a host of fresh weapons. But with so many new modes and features coming, fans are wondering what will happen to the popular DMZ mode that was introduced in MW2.

Now the developers have officially confirmed that the DMZ will not disappear after the launch of Modern Warfare 3 and will continue to receive ongoing support.

In an October 2nd post on X (formerly Twitter), they wrote: “While DMZ will not be featured at #CODNext this week, we are pleased to announce that we will continue to support the DMZ beta. Players will have ongoing opportunities to infiltrate Al Mazra, Asika Island, Vondel, as well as Building 21 and the Koschey Complex.”

Based on this post, it looks like DMZ will remain online for the foreseeable future. However, this mode will be limited to maps that were released during the MW2 era of Warzone, and will not allow progression to the new battle royale map.

It’s also unclear if the developers plan to release any major updates or new content for DMZ. However, they noted that they will “share further updates closer to the first season.”

A lot of fans responded to the post by crossing their fingers and crossing their fingers that DMZ will continue to grow. “I’m glad it’s here to stay and hope these updates will include new missions and features, even if they’re not on the new map. Looking forward to the next update,” one fan said.

Only time will tell what the developers have planned for the DMZ once Modern Warfare 3 launches.
