How To Get Early Access to the Caldera Map in Warzone

Season One of Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Pacific is available Thursday, December 9th, 2021 across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC (via Battle.net) Featured in this massive content update are new experiences across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, including an all-new Battle Royale map named Caldera.

For those looking to drop into Caldera as soon as possible, however, an early access opportunity is available.

Caldera Early Access

All players who have purchased Call of Duty: Vanguard, will receive early access to the Caldera map in Warzone Pacific. Early access to Caldera begins on Wednesday, December 8th. The following day, at 9AM PT, Caldera becomes available to all.

Verdansk Unavailable

Those who will not be participating in the Caldera early access period should note that Verdansk will not be available during this time. Because of this, Rebirth will be the only experience available in Warzone for the duration of the early access period.

Although this is a less than desirable for those who are willing to wait the additional 24 hours to access Caldera, it's an understandable decision as Raven has confirmed that Verdansk will be removed entirely in Warzone Pacific.

During the Caldera early access period only, both Resurgence and Mini Royale will be available. After this exclusive period, Caldera becomes accessible to all players, with Rebirth Island returning later in Season One.
