Summary
ACall of Duty: Warzoneleak has revealed that Verdansk may return to the battle royale in Season 3. Since the release ofCall of Duty: Warzone, Verdansk has become a fan-favorite location, and gamers may be able to explore it again soon.
WhenCall of Duty: Warzonewas launched during the lifespan ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk was the only map that players could explore. Among the Verdansk points of interest were the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Since then, Verdansk returnedwith the release ofWarzone Mobile, which limited the potential player base as consoles and PC were excluded. While it was the first standardWarzonemap, Verdansk has been replaced by the Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk ‘84. Although Verdansk ‘84 included some key similarities to the original location, it featured a unique aesthetic and was missing certain landmarks like the Gora Dam. With many gamers waiting for a Verdansk return, a recent leak may boost enthusiasm for the battle royale.
Call of Dutynews outletCharlie Intel recently tweetedabout Verdank’s return toWarzonein Season 3 thanks to a leak fromuser TheGhostofHope. Though the tweet includes a screenshot of the Verdansk map, it’s unclear if it was taken from datamined images from Season 3 or if it’s just a copy of the original map. While Verdansk 84’ changed the map in significant ways, and it was based onBlack Ops: Cold War, the location being teased shares more in common with the original. Similar toBlack Ops 6Season 1, Season 3 ofWarzonewill overlap with the mainline game, which may result in an influx of players when it drops. Since it was released,Black Ops 6has seen a steady decline in players, which hasn’t been significantly bolstered by Season 1’s release or theSquid Gamecollaboration.
Call of Duty: Warzone Leak Suggests Verdansk Returns in Season 3
WarzoneandCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Season 2are set to begin across all platforms on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. Based on this, Season 1 will have lasted 54 days, potentially setting a standard time frame for Season 2 and subsequent major content drops. Season 2 is expected to include Ricochet anti-cheat improvements and may feature new modes, events, and more. Though it doesn’t currently have a release date, fans anticipate a Spring release for Season 3. This means, if the leak is to be believed, that Verdansk could return toWarzonein March.
As the return of Verdansk is based on a leak, its return should be taken with a grain of salt until it’s confirmed by Activision or Treyarch.Activision continues to updateBlack Ops 6andWarzone, which will ensure that new content will arrive in both clients regardless of whether Verdansk comes back or not.
