A recent leak has ignited excitement among Call of Duty: Warzone players, hinting at the possible return of the beloved Verdansk map in Season 3. Since its debut with Call of Duty: Warzone, Verdansk has captured the hearts of gamers, offering iconic locations like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Although Verdansk made a comeback with Warzone Mobile, its availability was limited to mobile devices, leaving console and PC players longing for its return. Over time, Verdansk has been succeeded by maps such as Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84. While Verdansk '84 retained some elements of the original, it introduced a distinct aesthetic and omitted landmarks like the Gora Dam, leaving fans eager for the classic Verdansk experience.
The leak, shared by Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel, originated from user TheGhostofHope. A tweet featuring a screenshot of the Verdansk map has fueled speculation, though it's uncertain whether the image is from Season 3 datamined content or simply a replica of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was tied to Black Ops: Cold War and featured significant changes, the teased location appears to align more closely with the original Verdansk. As Season 3 of Warzone is set to overlap with Black Ops 6, this could attract a wave of new players, especially considering Black Ops 6's player base has seen a decline since its launch, with neither Season 1 nor the Squid Game collaboration significantly boosting numbers.
Call of Duty: Warzone Leak Suggests Verdansk Returns in Season 3
Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 are scheduled to kick off on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time across all platforms. This follows a 54-day run for Season 1, potentially setting a precedent for the duration of future seasons. Season 2 is expected to bring enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system and introduce new modes, events, and more. While Season 3's release date remains unconfirmed, fans are hopeful for a Spring launch, which, if the leak holds true, could see Verdansk returning to Warzone in March.
It's important to approach the news of Verdansk's return with caution, as it's based on a leak and awaits official confirmation from Activision or Treyarch. Regardless of Verdansk's fate, Activision's ongoing updates to Black Ops 6 and Warzone ensure a steady stream of fresh content for players to enjoy.
