Call of Duty Endowment will kick off C.O.D.E. Bowl in Warzone 2

The Call of Duty Endowment announced today the third annual C.O.D.E. Bowl will take place on December 16 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

This year, the C.O.D.E. Bowl will take place in Call of Duty: Warzone 2, the free-to-play battle royale which launched on November 16 and quickly grew to 25 million players. And this year’s trophy is actually in space, as the endowment, using Activision’s own funding, hired a company to send the trophy into orbit.
