First, it is essential to note that Warzone 2 and the DMZ mode have the same launch time. Further, servers for the original Warzone will shut down at roughly 08:00 PT on 16th November 2022. 

Two hours later, the launch time for Warzone 2 and its DMZ mode occurs. Yes, that’s correct; the exact launch/release time for Warzone 2 and its DMZ mode is 10:00 PT on 16th November 2022. That’s 13:00 ET for those on the East Coast, and for those in European regions, that’s 18:00 GMT.

This is a global launch, so gamers on all platforms will start playing at the same time. For those who live in a different region, we suggest using the World Clock website to convert the times above, so you don’t miss out.

On launch, the developers will be focused on “ensuring the new Warzone 2.0 free-to-play ecosystem is running effectively.” With such a massive launch, we do expect that maybe things won’t go smoothly, and unexpected server downtime or delays in release might occur.

And before you ask, no, there is no way to get Early Access to either Warzone 2 or the DMZ mode, so you will have to wait until the launch time happens in your region to jump in. Lastly, remember that Warzone Caldera does return on 28th November 2022 at approximately 10:00 PT.

So there you have it, the exact release time and date for Warzone 2 and the DMZ mode. Mark those calendars, set those alarms, and above all, stay frosty!
