Call of Duty Warzone's most recent Season 1 Reloaded update, which launched this week, encountered significant problems leading to gameplay and visual glitches. The main developer, Raven Software, has publicly acknowledged the issues and issued an apology. They explained that the glitches were the result of features from an upcoming update being inadvertently pushed live. This created a conflict with the player data and servers. The Champion’s Quest, which was temporarily pulled due to the disruptions, has now been reinstated with players already completing it. Further excitement is sparked by a teaser from Raven Software hinting at the return of the popular Specialist Perk bonus for Warzone. Additionally, there are updates to Modern Warfare 3 with Ranked Play, improvements to the anti-cheat system, and teasers of a Warhammer 40,000 collaboration.

What was the main cause of the glitches in Call of Duty Warzone's recent update?

The glitches that occurred after the recent Call of Duty Warzone update were due to parts of a feature from an upcoming update accidentally being included in the live version, resulting in conflicts between live player data and the game’s servers.
