- Season 3 is expected to coincide with Black Ops 6, promising fresh content regardless of Verdansk's return.
A recent leak has set the Call of Duty: Warzone community abuzz with the possibility of Verdansk's return in Season 3. Since its debut with Call of Duty: Warzone during the Modern Warfare era, Verdansk has captured the hearts of gamers with its iconic locations like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Although Verdansk made a comeback with Warzone Mobile, its availability was limited to mobile devices, leaving console and PC players longing for its return. Over time, Verdansk has been succeeded by maps such as Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84. While Verdansk '84 retained some similarities to the original, it introduced a distinct aesthetic and omitted landmarks like the Gora Dam, leaving fans eager for the classic Verdansk experience.
The leak, shared by Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel and sourced from user TheGhostofHope, includes a screenshot of what appears to be the Verdansk map. It remains uncertain whether this image is from datamined content for Season 3 or simply a replica of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was influenced by Black Ops: Cold War, the teased location seems to closely mirror the original Verdansk. As Season 3 of Warzone is set to align with Black Ops 6, this could attract a surge of players, especially given the steady decline in Black Ops 6's player base since its launch, which hasn't been significantly revived by Season 1 or the Squid Game collaboration.
Call of Duty: Warzone Leak Suggests Verdansk Returns in Season 3
Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 are scheduled to kick off across all platforms on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time, marking the end of a 54-day Season 1. This duration may set the precedent for future seasons. Season 2 is anticipated to bring enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system, along with new modes, events, and more. While Season 3 doesn't have a confirmed release date, a Spring launch is expected, hinting that Verdansk might make its comeback in March if the leak holds true.
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. Nonetheless, Activision's ongoing updates to Black Ops 6 and Warzone promise a continuous stream of new content, ensuring an exciting gaming experience regardless of Verdansk's fate.
