Excitement is building as Call of Duty Warzone fans eagerly await the return of the iconic Verdansk map, set to be unveiled on March 10, 2025. Activision had previously announced in August that Verdansk would make a comeback, but only hinted at a "spring 2025" timeline without a specific date. The anticipation has now been ramped up, thanks to a pop-up in the Call of Duty shop titled "The Verdansk Collection," accompanied by a countdown timer that ends on March 10, as reported by InsiderGaming.
Alongside the announcement, a tri-color sketch has been released, depicting an alpine scene complete with snow, pine trees, a dam, and a crashed plane. This imagery is a nostalgic nod to the original Warzone sandbox, which was overtaken by Verdansk '84 in Season 3 and then entirely replaced by Caldera in 2021. Currently, the only way to experience Verdansk is through Call of Duty Warzone Mobile. This news overturns the 2021 statement that "current-day Verdansk is gone and it's not coming back," bringing joy to long-time fans.
In other Call of Duty news, Black Ops 6 Season 2 is now live, introducing five new Multiplayer maps named Bounty, Dealership, Lifeline, Bullet, and Grind, alongside the return of the beloved Gun Game mode, new weapons, and operators. A highlight is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event, which comes with a hefty price tag. Meanwhile, Warzone has seen less new content than anticipated as the development team focuses on crucial gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life enhancements to address ongoing issues.
