In case you didn’t know, a total solar eclipse is happening later today (in the US, at least). Not one to be left out of what’s happening, Activision has implemented an in-game solar eclipse in Call of Duty: Warzone!

Players will see the eclipse happening now in Rebirth Island, and we had to wager a guess: it’ll coincide with the actual time when the total solar eclipse happens in real-time, which is currently slated at 2:04 pm ET (New York), while those in the West Coast will see it visible around 10:33 am. Of course, the time it starts will vary depending on which state you’re in, so don’t expect the experience to be the same for everyone across the country.

What Is a Solar Eclipse?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow over parts of Earth and blocking the face of the Sun for observers in those locations (per NASA).

Will this have any in-game ramifications outside of putting Rebirth Island in darkness? We can’t say for sure. Perhaps there’s a surprise in store for players? But I wouldn’t count on it, as this alone is kind of cool to see happening in real time in a game.

In other Call of Duty news, Activision mentioned that there are more active players of Modern Warfare 3 and the current Warzone compared to the same time last year against the older COD title (Modern Warfare 2).
