A recent leak has stirred excitement among Call of Duty: Warzone players, suggesting that the beloved Verdansk map may return in Season 3. Since its introduction with Call of Duty: Warzone, Verdansk has captured the hearts of gamers, offering iconic locations like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Initially the sole map available during the era of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk made a comeback with Warzone Mobile, though this version was limited to mobile platforms, leaving console and PC players out. Over time, Verdansk has been succeeded by maps such as Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84. While Verdansk '84 shared some similarities with the original, it introduced a distinct aesthetic and omitted landmarks like the Gora Dam. With many fans eagerly awaiting Verdansk's return, this leak has reignited their enthusiasm for the battle royale experience.
The leak, shared by Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel, originated from user TheGhostofHope. A tweet from Charlie Intel included a screenshot of the Verdansk map, though it's uncertain whether this image was sourced from Season 3 datamined content or simply a replica of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was significantly altered and tied to Black Ops: Cold War, the teased location appears to closely resemble the original Verdansk. As Season 3 of Warzone is set to overlap with Black Ops 6, this could lead to a surge in player numbers upon its release. Despite Black Ops 6 experiencing a decline in player engagement since its launch, neither Season 1 nor the Squid Game collaboration managed to significantly boost its player base.
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 across all platforms on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. This marks a 54-day duration for Season 1, potentially setting a precedent for the length of Season 2 and future content updates. Season 2 is anticipated to bring enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system and may 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.
Given that the return of Verdansk is based on a leak, it's wise to approach this news with caution until official confirmation comes from Activision or Treyarch. Both companies continue to roll out updates for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, ensuring a steady stream of new content for players, regardless of Verdansk's fate.
