Since its debut alongside Call of Duty: Warzone, Verdansk has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide, becoming a beloved battleground. A recent leak has ignited hopes that this iconic map might make a triumphant return in Season 3. Originally introduced during the era of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk was the sole map available at launch, featuring memorable locations like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Although it returned in Warzone Mobile, this version was limited to mobile devices, leaving console and PC players out of the action. Over time, Verdansk was 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 iconic landmarks like the Gora Dam. The prospect of Verdansk's return has fans buzzing with excitement.
The leak, shared by Call of Duty news source Charlie Intel, was sourced from user TheGhostofHope. Accompanying the announcement was a screenshot of the Verdansk map, though it's unclear whether it's a datamined image from Season 3 or simply a replica of the original. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was heavily influenced by Black Ops: Cold War, the teased version seems to closely mirror the classic Verdansk. As Season 3 of Warzone is set to overlap with Black Ops 6, this could bring a surge of players. Despite a decline in Black Ops 6's player base since its release, neither Season 1 nor the Squid Game collaboration have significantly reversed 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 on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time across all platforms. This suggests that Season 1 will have run for 54 days, setting a possible precedent for the duration of Season 2 and future major content updates. Season 2 is expected to introduce enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system, along with new modes, events, and more. While Season 3 doesn't have an official release date yet, speculation points to a Spring launch, potentially bringing Verdansk back to Warzone in March.
It's important to approach the news of Verdansk's return with caution, as it's based on a leak. Official confirmation from Activision or Treyarch is needed before we can celebrate its return. Regardless of Verdansk's fate, both Black Ops 6 and Warzone will continue to receive updates, ensuring a steady stream of new content for players to enjoy.
