Unfortunately, the newly re-launched Warzone only features one major Battle Royale map for players to jump into, Caldera.

But, sadly, both Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep have been removed from the option of playlists in Warzone Caldera.
Numerous game modes were also introduced to Warzone between 2020 and 2022, with the most popular being Plunder, a respawn game mode that was all about collecting as much cash as possible. Plunder, along with various other game modes, have also been removed from the original Warzone. As noted by CharlieIntel in the tweet above, the only modes available to play in Warzone Caldera are Solos and Quads.
