Summary
- A leak suggests Verdansk might return to Call of Duty: Warzone in Season 3, sparking excitement among fans.

- Season 3 is likely to coincide with Black Ops 6, promising new content regardless of Verdansk's return.
A recent leak has ignited excitement within the Call of Duty: Warzone community, hinting at the potential return of the beloved Verdansk map in Season 3. Since its debut with Call of Duty: Warzone, Verdansk has captured the hearts of players with its iconic locations like the City Center, Airport, Boneyard, and Suburbs. Initially the sole map available when Warzone was released alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk later reappeared in Warzone Mobile, although this version was limited to mobile devices, leaving console and PC players out. Over time, Verdansk has been succeeded by maps such as Pacific Caldera, Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, Vondel, and Verdansk '84. While Verdansk '84 shared some similarities with the original, it introduced a new aesthetic and omitted landmarks like the Gora Dam. The prospect of Verdansk's return has been a long-awaited wish for many fans, and this leak could be the spark that rekindles their enthusiasm.
The leak, shared by Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel via a tweet from user TheGhostofHope, featured a screenshot of the Verdansk map. It's uncertain whether this screenshot comes from datamined images specific to Season 3 or is simply a reuse of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was heavily modified and tied to Black Ops: Cold War, the teased version appears more akin to the original Verdansk. As Season 3 is set to align with Black Ops 6, it may attract a surge of players upon its release. Despite a steady decline in Black Ops 6's player base since its launch, neither Season 1's release nor the Squid Game collaboration managed to significantly boost numbers.
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 across all platforms on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. With Season 1 lasting 54 days, this duration could become the norm for future seasons. Season 2 is poised to introduce enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system and may include new modes, events, and more. While Season 3 doesn't have a confirmed release date yet, a Spring launch is anticipated. If the leak holds true, Verdansk could make its triumphant return to Warzone in March.
Given that this news stems from a leak, it's wise to approach it with cautious optimism until official confirmation from Activision or Treyarch. Nonetheless, Activision's ongoing updates to both Black Ops 6 and Warzone ensure a steady stream of fresh content, irrespective of Verdansk's comeback.
