A grandiose redistribution of spheres of influence is planned in the camp of Call of Duty: Warzone — Activision Corporation has officially rolled out the announcement of a new competitive platform. We are talking about a large-scale tournament series called Call of Duty: Warzone Resurgence, which, in fact, will be the main engine of the “royal battle” from February to July 2026.

The prize pool and key locations of the Warzone tournaments
The prize pool can double — a total of $ 1.2 million is at stake, which looks very solid by today’s standards.
-
Start: Online qualifications for Europe and North America begin on February 9, 2026.
-
First stop: March LAN Finals at DreamHack in Birmingham with a check for $100,000.
-
The second stage: In April, a landing party of esports players will land in Atlanta at a similar DreamHack event.
Interestingly, an open tournament will also be held in Birmingham — the top six from there will break into the final to the already selected trio. This is a great chance for the “dark horses” to make themselves known.
The final of the Warzone Resurgence in Riyadh and the main prize
The most colorful event, the Resurgence series finale, will be held in Saudi Arabia. From July 29 to August 1, 32 of the best teams on the planet will gather in Riyadh to win the main jackpot of 1 million dollars. This, in fact, will be the moment of truth for all participants of the season.
Warzone Resurgence tournament format and points system
If we talk about the mechanics of scoring points, then Activision seems to have decided not to reinvent the wheel. The system is familiar: one point is given for each elimination, plus multipliers work depending on the occupied place in the match. Interestingly, there is still no word about the Match Point format (as in the same Apex Legends) — apparently, they decided to leave the classic accumulative system.
What does this mean for the community? Many fans were worried about the future of the discipline after the end of the Warzone World Series in 2025. But the new format of the Resurgence Series, apparently, removes all questions. Along the way, we will have much more opportunities for players and a stable schedule of large LAN tournaments, which was so lacking before. Unexpectedly, Activision was really able to surprise with the scale of the planned expansion.
