Summary
- A leak suggests Verdansk may return to Call of Duty: Warzone in Season 3, sparking excitement among fans.
- The teased map shares similarities with the original Verdansk, not the altered Verdansk '84.
- Season 3 is expected to coincide with Black Ops 6, promising new content even if Verdansk doesn't make a comeback.
The beloved Verdansk map from Call of Duty: Warzone may be making a triumphant return in Season 3, according to a recent leak. Since its introduction with the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone during the Modern Warfare era, Verdansk has captured the hearts of players worldwide. This iconic map featured memorable locations such as the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs, creating unforgettable gaming experiences. Although Verdansk made a comeback in Warzone Mobile, its availability was limited to mobile devices, leaving console and PC players eager for its return to the main battle royale.
Over time, Verdansk has been succeeded by several other maps, including Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84. While Verdansk '84 retained some similarities to the original, it introduced a distinct aesthetic and omitted iconic landmarks like the Gora Dam. The anticipation for Verdansk's return has been palpable, and a leak from TheGhostofHope, shared by Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel, has reignited fans' hopes. The tweet included a screenshot of the Verdansk map, though it's uncertain whether it's a datamined image from Season 3 or simply a replica of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was tied to Black Ops: Cold War, the teased map appears to be more akin to the original Verdansk.
Season 3 of Warzone is set to align with the release cycle of Black Ops 6, potentially drawing more players to the battle royale. Despite Black Ops 6 experiencing a decline in player numbers since its launch, the integration with Warzone Season 3 could provide a much-needed boost. While Season 1 and the Squid Game collaboration have not significantly increased player engagement, the prospect of Verdansk's return could change that.
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. With Season 1 lasting 54 days, this timeframe may set a precedent for future seasons. Season 2 is expected to bring enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system, along with new modes and events. While Season 3 has no confirmed release date, it's anticipated to arrive in the spring, possibly in March, which aligns with the leaked return of Verdansk.
As with any leak, the return of Verdansk should be treated with caution until officially confirmed by Activision or Treyarch. Nonetheless, Activision's commitment to updating both Black Ops 6 and Warzone ensures that players can look forward to fresh content, regardless of Verdansk's fate.
