Was Blackout Before Warzone? The Battle Royale Timeline

In the competitive world of battle royales, it’s essential to know the history and lineage of the popular games in this genre. Two crucial titles that have shaped this trajectory are Call of Duty’s Warzone and Black Ops’ Blackout.

For many fans, confusion may arise about which of the two came first. Can Blackout be considered older than Warzone? Not necessarily. The answer isn’t as straightforward as one came before the other, but rather, more complicated.

Blackout came into existence in 2018, part of Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 game. Warzone, on the other hand, released in 2020. This gap in dates, though, doesn’t make Warzone the undisputed "younger." Each has its unique story before we delve into the battlefield of the gaming world to set the record straight.
