Black Ops Royale will be removed from Warzone after less than a year

Warzone's Black Ops Royale mode is set to be scrapped after less than a year, as it won't be carried over once Modern Warfare 4 arrives.

Black Ops Royale launched back in Warzone's Season 2 Reloaded update in March, bringing an entire mode inspired by BO4's Blackout. It stripped away loadouts and the Gulag to create a more streamlined battle royale experience, but gave players access to Wingsuits and Grapple Hooks.

It was well-received by fans at launch, so much so that every time it has been removed in a playlist update, the community has rallied to try to get it back. Now, though, the devs have confirmed that the mode is about to be gone for good.

Black Ops Royale to be scrapped with Modern Warfare 4

In a blog post revealing the Season 6 update, Raven Software confirmed that Black Ops Royale will be removed once Warzone integrates with Modern Warfare 4.

"Season 06 will be your last chance to play Black Ops Royale," they said in the blog. "Get those wins in and earn your Weapon Camos before the end of Season 06!"

Although we don't have an exact date just yet, Warzone and Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 will likely launch in November or December based on previous years, giving fans at least a couple of months to jump back in.

Given that the mode celebrates Black Ops' history, it makes sense that it wouldn't make it over to the next Modern Warfare era. However, the decision has still divided opinion, with many hoping that it would continue.

"Why not include it in bo7? Just removing it for what," wrote one fan, while another added: "This was like honestly, the one mode I enjoyed where everything was fair game and not broken by overpowered meta loadouts and meta perks."

Meanwhile, others were happy to see it go, as they felt it split the player base too much to have both BOR and BR at the same time: "Good, it’s taking the player base from regular BR."

The blog also detailed what to expect from Warzone Season 6, which includes The Haunting Halloween event. This is set to include a crossover with Doom, a spooky overhaul of Haven's Hollow called Haunted Hollow, and the Giant Infected mode.

There will also be fresh guns to unlock, including the new TR51 Para Assault Rifle and the classic VMP SMG from BO3 and BO4.

Modern Warfare 4 is set to bring a major overhaul to Warzone, complete with a bunch of new weapons and Perks.
