Warzone new map release date: Pacific map Caldera release date, size in Warzone explained
It's time to finally say goodbye to Verdansk.
Caldara is Warzone's new map coming later this year.
Based in the Pacific, the map will launch in the weeks following the release of Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Though Warzone's new map will be free for all players, those playing Vanguard will have 24 hours early access.
Before that, as if the arrival of WW2 bunkers and Vanguard weapons weren't enough this season, Warzone's current map Verdansk will have several events teasing the arrival of Caldara.

Warzone Pacific map Caldera size and everything else know so far
The new Pacific map is teased to offer a different battle royale experience than Verdasnk, with forests, beaches, ruins and even a dormant volcano, as well as planes and AA trucks you can use to explore the island.
In terms of map size, Caldera is "roughly" the same as Verdasnk, with over 200 points of interest to find.
Activision has said the design is "based on two years of research and listening to the community", and is made using the same tech and engine as Verdasnk - allowing players to bring over Warzone weapons and skins from previous years.
Until the map arrives, remember you can get a sneak peak ahead of time by finding WW2 bunkers and sampling Vanguard weapons in Warzone.
