One of the biggest changes on the way to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is also headed to Warzone, meaning that first-person shooter fans will eventually be able to charge around the free-to-play battle royale with the power of 'omnimovement' on their side. 

Omnimovement was revealed during the big Black Ops 6 Direct deep dive yesterday, where it was explained that for the first time in the series' history, players will be able to sprint, dive, and slide in whatever direction they want, as well as rotate a full 360 degrees while in the new and improved supine prone position. The goal is to make us feel more like action heroes while we play, and according to Matt Scronce, associate director of design at Black Ops 6 co-developer Treyarch, "We truly believe that once you experience omnimovement, there's no going back."

With that being the mindset of the developers, perhaps it comes as little surprise that the movement upgrade is on the way to Warzone, too. That's according to a report from Screen Rant, which spoke to Treyarch's director of production, Yale Miller, who says that Treyarch will talk more about how omnimovement will be worked into Warzone in the coming months. 

Miller also adds that Black Ops 6 will, as expected, feature live seasons and that the team will continue to improve the launcher while attempting to reduce the games' colossal file sizes.
