Summary
- A leak suggests Verdansk could make a comeback in Call of Duty: Warzone during Season 3, sparking excitement among fans.
- The leak hints at the new version of Verdansk being similar to the original map, further boosting anticipation.
- Season 3 is expected to coincide with the release of Black Ops 6, promising a wave of fresh content even if Verdansk doesn't return.
According to recent leaks, Verdansk, the beloved map from Call of Duty: Warzone, might return in Season 3. Since its introduction with the launch of Warzone during the era of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. Iconic locations such as the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs made it a standout map. Although Verdansk made a comeback with Warzone Mobile, its availability was limited to mobile platforms, leaving console and PC players wanting more. Over time, Verdansk has been succeeded by maps like Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84. The latter, while reminiscent of the original, introduced a distinct aesthetic and omitted key landmarks like the Gora Dam. The anticipation for Verdansk's return has been palpable, and this recent leak has certainly added fuel to the excitement.
The leak, shared by the Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel and originating from user TheGhostofHope, features a screenshot of the Verdansk map. It's unclear whether this image is from datamined Season 3 content or simply a copy of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was significantly altered and tied to Black Ops: Cold War, the teased version seems to align more closely with the original. With Season 3 expected to overlap with Black Ops 6, a surge in player numbers is anticipated upon its release. Despite the steady decline in Black Ops 6's player base, neither Season 1's release nor the Squid Game collaboration has managed to reverse this trend significantly.
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 all platforms on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. With Season 1 lasting 54 days, this sets a potential benchmark for the duration of Season 2 and future major content updates. Season 2 is poised to introduce enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system and could bring new modes, events, and other exciting features. Although no specific release date has been announced for Season 3, fans are eagerly awaiting a Spring launch, which, if the leak holds true, might see Verdansk return to Warzone in March.
It's important to approach the news of Verdansk's return with caution, as it stems from a leak and awaits official confirmation from Activision or Treyarch. Regardless of Verdansk's fate, Activision is committed to regularly updating both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, ensuring a steady stream of new content for players to enjoy.
