Call of Duty Leak May Reveal When Verdansk Will Return to Warzone

Summary

• A leak suggests Verdansk's potential return to Warzone in Season 3.
• The leaked information hints at similarities to the original Verdansk map, generating excitement among players.
• Season 3's release, potentially coinciding with Black Ops 6, promises new content regardless of Verdansk's return.

A recent Call of Duty: Warzone leak hints at the possible return of the beloved Verdansk map in Season 3. Since Warzone's launch, Verdansk has held a special place in players' hearts, becoming a fan-favorite location. Its iconic points of interest, including the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs, created unforgettable moments for countless players. While a version of Verdansk returned in Warzone Mobile, its console and PC exclusion limited its reach. Since its initial reign as the primary Warzone map, Verdansk has been replaced by Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84. Although Verdansk '84 shared some similarities, its distinct aesthetic and missing landmarks like the Gora Dam left many players yearning for the original. This leak, however, could reignite that hope.

Call of Duty news source Charlie Intel reported on this potential return, citing a leak from user TheGhostofHope. While a Verdansk map screenshot accompanied the tweet, its origin—whether datamined Season 3 assets or a replica of the original—remains unclear. Unlike the significantly altered Verdansk '84 (based on Black Ops: Cold War), the teased location appears closer to the original. Similar to Black Ops 6 Season 1, Warzone Season 3's release will likely overlap with the mainline game, potentially attracting a surge of players. Black Ops 6, since its launch, has seen a player decline not significantly boosted by Season 1 or the recent Squid Game collaboration.

Call of Duty: Warzone Leak Suggests Verdansk Returns in Season 3

Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 launch across all platforms on January 28th at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. This 54-day Season 1 duration might set a precedent for Season 2 and future content updates. Season 2 is expected to include Ricochet anti-cheat improvements and potentially new modes and events. While lacking a confirmed date, Season 3 is anticipated for Spring. Therefore, if the leak proves accurate, Verdansk's return could occur in March.

Given the leak's nature, the return of Verdansk should be treated with cautious optimism until official confirmation from Activision or Treyarch. Activision's continued updates to Black Ops 6 and Warzone guarantee new content regardless of Verdansk's return.
