A recent leak has ignited hope among Call of Duty: Warzone players that the beloved Verdansk map may return in Season 3. Since its debut with Call of Duty: Warzone, Verdansk has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. Initially, when Warzone launched alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk was the sole battleground where players could engage, featuring iconic locations like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Although Verdansk made a comeback with Warzone Mobile, this version was restricted to mobile platforms, leaving console and PC players out of the loop. 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 new aesthetic and omitted landmarks like the Gora Dam. With many fans eagerly awaiting Verdansk's return, this leak has certainly heightened the anticipation.
The leak was brought to light by Call of Duty news source Charlie Intel, referencing a tweet from user TheGhostofHope. The tweet included a screenshot of what appears to be Verdansk, though it's uncertain whether this image stems from Season 3 datamined content or is simply a repurposed image of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was heavily influenced by Black Ops: Cold War, the teased version seems to echo the original Verdansk more closely. As Season 3 is set to align with Black Ops 6, this could lead to a surge in player numbers upon its release. Despite Black Ops 6's initial popularity, its player base has seen a decline, with neither Season 1's launch nor the Squid Game collaboration managing to significantly reverse this trend.
Call of Duty: Warzone Leak Suggests Verdansk Returns in Season 3
Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 are slated to kick off across all platforms on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. This means Season 1 will have run for 54 days, possibly establishing a benchmark duration for future seasons. Season 2 is anticipated to introduce enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system and may include new game modes, events, and more. While Season 3 lacks a confirmed release date, a Spring launch is speculated, suggesting that, if the leak holds true, Verdansk could reappear in Warzone as early as March.
As enticing as the prospect of Verdansk's return is, it's important to approach this leak with caution until official confirmation comes from Activision or Treyarch. Regardless of Verdansk's potential comeback, Activision remains committed to updating both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, ensuring a steady stream of new content for players to enjoy.
