Priyansh SidhwaniThe new pacific map for Call Of Duty: Warzone has been delayed but just by some days. Players who own Call Of Duty: Vanguard will be getting 24-hour exclusive access starting December 8th, which means Call Of Duty: Warzone players will experience the map after 24 hours on December 9th. The December 8th update will also bring new maps, modes, Vanguards multiplayer weapons and equipment, and Zombies game mode updates. At the same time, Warzones Caldera will bring new vehicles and Vanguard Royale mode. Warzone Pacific will bring crater, rebirth island, Vanguard Royale new mode, and new cars in World War II-style.

Although the launch of the first season of Vanguards has been delayed by a few days, players will be able to dive into the new era of Call of Duty on December 8th. The old release date for the first season of the Vanguard patch was December 1st. Fans may have to wait a little longer but considering it’s just only a week, it’s okay.
Anyone with Vanguard will still have a 24-hour advantage to play the new Warzones Caldera map, but the start date has been postponed from December 1 to December 8. A tweet detailing the delay also mentioned that anyone with “Call of Duty: Vanguard” will have exclusive access to the new Warzone Pacific Caldera map on December 8, and everyone else can join it the next day. However, on November 20th, Activision shared another situation update with the new map and Season 1, notifying impatient players of the delay in the release of another new map, albeit slightly.
The new map is called Caldera and will launch alongside Vanguard and Warzone Season 1. A significant patch will include the highly anticipated Warzone Caldera map. The original date of the update was 1st December which would have included a new map named Caldera and the weapons of Vanguard making its way to Warzone. If you don’t own Vanguard, you will have to wait until December 9th to play Caldera. Fortunately, this is not a very big delay and we will have to wait a few more days to take a look at the new Warzone map and Vanguard Season 1. Both updates will now be released on December 8, 2021, rather than December 2, 2021.
Update: Season 1 of #Vanguard and Warzone Pacific will now release Dec. 8.

Vanguard owners can look forward to days of exclusive access to the Warzone map, open to all players on December 9th. Although the Battle Pass and the new multiplayer season are expected to be released on the same day, the “War Zone” is only open to vanguard players and can be accessed privately. In addition, Vanguard owners will continue to use Caldera cards 24 hours in advance, and for them, the Warzone Pacific era will begin on December 8. The studio hopes that the new elements will be open to everyone on December 9th, instead of entering the first season of “Pacific” and “Pioneer” on December 2nd.
The delay will disappoint Warzone fans looking to return to the game after a couple of stagnant seasons, but as many Vanguard players will tell you, the wait is well worth the wait. The great thing with this new map is the delay is not significant and COD players are still getting it before the end of the year. Meanwhile, a new map in Warzone is long overdue, and the delay is likely to amaze Battle Royale fans a little more than most.

However, with the release of the Pacific Update, the game brings a special new focus to Warzone and its battle royale with new content such as maps, weapons, and themes. Vanguard players, on the other hand, will get new maps, weapons, and zombie mode improvements from the first few seasons worth of new content. There is a lot coming to the COD universe especially with the new season of Vanguard bringing new Multiplayer modes, new maps, zombie content as well as a Vanguard Royale mode.
The update with the Pacific map was also bringing the Vanguard weapons onto Call Of Duty: Warzone. Judging by the name the map is based on the Pacific ocean which brings lush vegetation and vibrant colors to the game. Not only can players in the war zone get a new crater map, but they can also visit the rebirth island map after the next update. New weapons will be added, as well as new targets for zombies and more alliances.
Unfortunately, Activision hasn’t provided any reason for the delay, but the new schedule brings the map, as well as the Vanguards’ debut season, right into the highly anticipated Halo Infinite campaign. Activision did not reveal why the new map was launched, but the new day will see the debut season of Maps and Vanguards drop right on top of the Halo Infinite campaign, which will also be released on December 8th.
