What to Expect Now?

For Call of Duty and World of Warcraft lovers like me, this move has raised hopes for developing a metaverse similar to games like Warzone and realms of WoW. Imagine what it would be like to actually be standing in middle of Verdansk or Bleeding Hollow in a virtual reality, instead of just watching it on screen.

Activision’s COD has the most extensive fan base in terms of FPS gaming, and the move has created excitement in community. It is also possible some franchises may become P2E from F2P, who knows. Honestly, I would love to earn money through a ‘Kingslayer’ in Warzone.
