Release Date, Japanese Theme, Points Of Interest And More

Activision has revealed the brand new small map headed to Warzone 2.0 in Season 2. Ashika Island is the primary new Resurgence map since Fortune’s Preserve launched for the unique Warzone. It will likely be the primary time Resurgence mode is offered within the new Name Of Obligation battle royale.

Resurgence mode differs from conventional battle royale in a single necessary means: Gamers respawn after dying as long as one member of their squad stays alive (till Resurgence is turned off in the course of the end-game). This results in a really completely different, faster-paced playstyle that’s a whole lot of enjoyable and a welcome break from longer battle royale matches, the place you at all times run the danger of dying after which spectating for the following fifteen or twenty minutes.

Ashika Island was developed by Excessive Moon Studios, the developer behind Fortune’s Preserve, which was a wonderful Resurgence map in Warzone, and the second small map to come back to that recreation after Rebirth Island, which initially made its debut in Blackout, the battle royale that launched with Black Ops IIII.

Ashika Island seems nearer in dimension to Rebirth Island, although it’s harking back to Fortune’s Preserve in different methods, together with extra residential areas and buildings. This time round, the map is ready in a fictional Japanese location and consists of the Citadel POI taken immediately from the Trendy Warfare 2 map, Citadel (final seen in Name Of Obligation: Vanguard).

Factors Of Curiosity

Tsuki Citadel

As you possibly can see within the above picture, this isn’t a European Medieval fortress, however fairly a Japanese fortress. I’m actually excited for this map not simply because I miss enjoying Resurgence, however as a result of I believe the Japanese theme is such a cool addition to the sport. Al Mazrah is a effective map, but it surely’s awfully brown and boring. A colourful map in a setting we haven’t had but in Warzone may be very welcome.

City Middle

Seashore Membership

Underground Waterway

The Name Of Obligation Twitter account has been dropping these pictures together with haikus. For that final picture of Underground Waterway they posted:

Deep beneath the Earth

Lengthy tendrils branching outward

Heat is aware of no residence right here

For the Seashore Membership:

Not a trip

Don’t let cabanas deceive

Seize sand, take cowl

For City Middle:

Lengthy vary or up shut

By the market’s many stalls

Discover the following shootout

For Tsuki Citadel:

Infiltrate rapidly

Previous the tower’s defenders

Attain the hidden area

The total listing of POI’s on Ashika Island consists of:

• Residential
• Shipwreck
• Tsuki Citadel
• Port Ashika
• City Middle
• Oganikku Farms
• Seashore Membership

The map is similar to the leaked Warzone 2 Resurgence map from final month, although not all of the POI’s are the identical. Ashika Island launches with Season 2 of Trendy Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 on February fifteenth—not a second too quickly!

As at all times, I’d adore it for those who’d observe me right here on this weblog and subscribe to my YouTube channel and my Substack so you possibly can keep up-to-date on all my TV, film and online game evaluations and protection. Thanks!
