Warzone Season 3 Leak Hints at Verdansk's Return
A recent leak suggests the beloved Verdansk map might be making a comeback to Call of Duty: Warzone in Season 3. This news has ignited excitement among fans who fondly remember the original Verdansk, a map synonymous with the game's early days. The leak hints at a design closer to the original Verdansk than the previously released Verdansk '84.
The original Verdansk, launched alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, featured iconic locations like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. While a version returned in Warzone Mobile, its console and PC exclusion limited its reach. Since then, Verdansk has been replaced by several other maps, including Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84 – the latter sharing some similarities but lacking key landmarks like the Gora Dam.
The leak, reported by Charlie Intel, citing information from TheGhostofHope, shows a map resembling the original Verdansk. Whether this image is from datamined Season 3 assets or a reproduction of the original remains unclear. Interestingly, Season 3's launch will coincide with Black Ops 6, potentially driving player numbers regardless of Verdansk's return. Black Ops 6, despite its recent release, has seen a player decline that neither Season 1 nor the Squid Game collaboration significantly reversed.
Season 3 Timeline and Speculation:
Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 2 launched on January 28th. If this 54-day season length holds, Season 3 could arrive around Spring, potentially bringing Verdansk back in March. However, it's crucial to remember that this information stems from a leak and hasn't been officially confirmed by Activision or Treyarch. Regardless of Verdansk's return, Activision's ongoing updates to Black Ops 6 and Warzone guarantee fresh content for players. So, while the possibility of Verdansk's return is exciting, it's best to approach the news with cautious optimism until official confirmation.
