The trailer Call of Duty: Warzone’s third season is pretty damn lit.
Fresh off the news that Call of Duty’s extremely popular free-to-play component Warzone has officially surpassed 100 million players and eclipsing 400 million premium Call of Duty game sales, Activision shared a new short film/trailer titled “Squad up the World” for Warzone’s third season.
The action-packed trailer features the whos who of the Hip-Hop, gaming, and sports community living out their Call of Duty-inspired fantasies. The short film directed by young visionary Gibson Hazard opens up with Young Thug making a daring leap from a skyscraper into a chopper piloted by his homie Gunna. Thugger lets some bullets fly at some opponents in the building before Gunna just blows it to smithereens as they fly off.

Gunna spoke on the experience and working with Gibson for the spot, saying, “Shooting the spot was crazy. Had a lot of fun on my custom Spider quad, full custom Spider outfit, doing stunts like jumping into the chopper and working with Gibson, the boy is serious. I love Warzone. It’s been my favorite game forever.”
The short film also features our favorite Icy Princess and Queen of unusual food combinations, Saweetie. For her scene, the “My Type” crafter pilots an A-10 Warthog bringing the pain in the form of much-needed air support for her fellow squad member.
Speaking about her involvement in the ad, she stated:
Call Of Duty News Twitter
“I loved the experience on set. I’ve always been around gaming, but some of my recent collabs and other gamers got me even more interested in checking it out myself. This was my first Call of Duty game, and it was harder than I expected!” *laughs* “I loved it. I’m competitive about everything, so when a challenge comes my way, it’s a wrap – I’m there until I master it. I’m definitely going to be gaming more. I’m hyped to even get some of my Icy babies to play with me.”
Internet funny guy Druski and his buddy rapper Jack Harlow provide the comedy for the spot as they hilariously worked together in a helicopter before having to bail out of it before it crashed.
Harlow spoke about working with Gibson and being a part of the experience, adding:
“This film was an excellent experience. I got a chance to tap into my acting bag a bit, and did some stunts for the first time. Having my good friend Druski starring alongside me made the whole thing even better. That dude is one of the funniest people on Earth. I’ve seen Gibson’s come up over the last couple of years, and I’m a fan. He has a great vision, and it was fascinating to work with him. I gotta say the best part of all this was sharing the whole experience with my best friend & roommate, Urban, who was on set and got to be there for the entirety of the shoot. He is a COD fanatic. It was also a really dope moment for my boys back home to see me in a COD film because they’ve all been playing COD for years.”

Our staff has picked their favorite stations, take a listen...Call of Duty: Warzone has finally nuked its map.
Tonight, Activision ran a limited-time mode called The Destruction of Verdansk Part One, which replaced all other ways to play the battle royale and lasted for just a few hours.
This LTM was blighted by server queues and crashes for a good 40 minutes into the event, with players forced to log out then log back in in an attempt to play. Developer Raven pushed a playlist update that improved matters, but I suffered slight, annoying lag throughout the event.
The quickfire mode saw players drop into Verdansk with the Jak-12 shotgun, a munitions box and a gas mask, with the goal of surviving. Die, and you turned into an endlessly respawning zombie charged with hunting down enemy players. Juggernaut suit drops were frequent, and each game only lasted just over 10 minutes.
The map closed in fast on the Dam, but it appeared it was impossible to successfully exfil as a human player. Once, I managed to survive until the end, and saw the same cutscene that played upon the end of the countdown whether you were a human or a zombie.
That cutscene shows the destruction of Verdansk, as you'd expect. A nuke fires off from a mystery silo and destroys the map. You can watch it in the video below:
The idea here is the containment of the zombie invasion, which has been ongoing in Warzone for some time now, has failed, leading the powers that be with no choice but to nuke the map. At least there was a calling card to be had from the event.
What happens next? We know Activision plans to usher in a 1980s-themed version of Verdansk alongside the launch of season three.
Before then, we have a new playlist called Aftermath: Rebirth Island to get to grips with. This night version of Rebirth is set 15 minutes after the nuke cutscene. 'Nuclear fallout engulfs Verdansk,' reads the official blurb. 'Get a glimpse of what happens next. Drop into Rebirth Island and battle all night in limited-time versions of Resurgence, Mini-Royale, and Kingslayer. Search for clues amid the Aftermath.'
According to the Call of Duty Twitter page, part two of the destruction of Verdansk event kicks off tomorrow, 22nd April at 8pm UK time. Before that, at 5am UK time, season three begins.
