King Slayer is available to play right now in Warzone, allowing you to join up with your squad for a team deathmatch in Verdansk. It’s kind of a weird cross between battle royale and your typical deathmatch mode because you’ll be fighting enemy teams in the circle. The circle doesn’t shrink, however, it moves around the map, so you’ll need to be constantly moving yourself to make sure you aren’t caught out. The best players from the top five teams in this mode will also be marked as a “King” on other players’ maps, and slaying them will give you extra points. Modern Warfare has a new game mode ready to play right now, too. It’s called Ground War Reinforce, and it revolves around teams competing to grab flags stuck in the middle of the map. If a teammate dies, they have to spectate the match until another player on their team nabs a flag. You win by collecting all three flags.
Once you’ve had a good play of those, the game’s summer event starts Friday, August 28th, and runs until September 7th. Appropriately named, Games Of Summer, it’s introducing a series of trials for both Warzone and Modern Warfare players, in which players compete for high scores in various courses and shooting challenges. Here’s what you’ll have to do in each one: By completing trials you can earn rewards, like skins and calling cards and the like. Then by earning gold medals in each you can get yourself a legendary assault rifle blueprint. There’s also a sort of Olympics theme to all this, so earning medals will give points to players’ respective countries. It’s not clear if an entire country of CoD players will win prizes for this, but hey, glory is a prize in itself.
