Activision has told fans of Call of Duty\u2019s DMZ that it intends to continue supporting the extraction mode despite it skipping the upcoming COD Next reveal event.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

COD Next, set for this Thursday, October 5, will fully reveal Modern Warfare 3<\/a> and what\u2019s next for Warzone 2.0, including its new map. But DMZ mode is not part of the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough DMZ won\u2019t be showcased at COD Next this week, we\u2019re excited to share that we will continue to support the DMZ Beta,\u201d Activision said in an announcement shared this week<\/a>. \u201cPlayers will have continuing infiltration opportunities for Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, Vondel \u2014 as well as Building 21 and Koschei Complex.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for your continued support and dedication to the Beta! We will share further updates closer to Season 01.\u201d<\/p>\n

DMZ launched last year as part of Warzone 2.0, and went down well with fans and critics. Its sandbox extraction gameplay riffed on the likes of Escape from Tarkov, and offered something a little different for Call of Duty. “It\u2019s a really fun and refreshing change of pace between rounds of battle royale,” we said in IGN’s Warzone 2.0 review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, fans of DMZ have complained about a content drought this year, with some saying it lacks support compared to Modern Warfare\u2019s traditional multiplayer and the battle royale. While this fresh statement from Activision is designed to reassure DMZ fans, it has in fact caused concern to grow. Activision\u2019s mention of the DMZ \u201cbeta\u201d has raised questions about its status, and whether or not DMZ will then launch proper.<\/p>\n

This is as close we’re going to get as an admission that the mode won’t be getting any new content. Was fun whilst it lasted.<\/p>\n
