Verdansk Return Date Leaked for Warzone

Summary

• A leak suggests Verdansk may return to Call of Duty: Warzone in Season 3, stirring excitement among fans.
• The teased map shares more similarities with the original Verdansk, unlike the Verdansk '84 variant.
• Season 3 is expected to coincide with Black Ops 6, promising new content and potentially drawing more players back to the game.

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement following a leak that hints at the return of Verdansk to Call of Duty: Warzone in Season 3. Since its debut with Call of Duty: Warzone, Verdansk has captured the hearts of players as a beloved battleground. Originally introduced during the era of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk was the sole map available, featuring iconic points of interest like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Although it made a comeback with Warzone Mobile, its availability was limited to mobile devices, excluding console and PC gamers. Over time, Verdansk has been succeeded by maps such as Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and the altered Verdansk '84, which, while retaining some familiar elements, introduced a distinct aesthetic and omitted landmarks like the Gora Dam. The prospect of Verdansk's return has fans eagerly anticipating the next season of Warzone.

The leak, shared by Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel and originating from user TheGhostofHope, includes a screenshot of the Verdansk map. It's uncertain whether this screenshot is from datamined Season 3 content or simply a reproduction of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was heavily modified and tied to Black Ops: Cold War, the teased version appears closer to the original. As Season 3 is expected to overlap with Black Ops 6, this could lead to an influx of players, especially given Black Ops 6's recent decline in player numbers, which wasn't significantly reversed by Season 1 or the Squid Game collaboration.

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

Season 2 of Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is slated to commence on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time across all platforms. With Season 1 lasting 54 days, this sets a potential standard duration for subsequent seasons. Season 2 is anticipated to bring enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system, alongside new modes, events, and more. While Season 3 doesn't have a confirmed release date yet, a Spring launch is expected, which could see Verdansk's return in March, if the leak holds true.

While the prospect of Verdansk's return is thrilling, it's based on a leak and should be approached with cautious optimism until confirmed by Activision or Treyarch. Regardless of Verdansk's fate, Activision's ongoing updates to Black Ops 6 and Warzone promise a steady stream of fresh content for players.
