Summary
- Verdansk may make a comeback in Call of Duty: Warzone during Season 3, according to a leak.

- Season 3 is expected to coincide with Black Ops 6, introducing new content even if Verdansk does not return.
A recent leak from Call of Duty: Warzone has sparked excitement by suggesting that the beloved Verdansk map could return in Season 3. Since its introduction with the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Verdansk has captured the hearts of players 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 was 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 certain landmarks like the Gora Dam. The anticipation for Verdansk's return has been high, and this recent leak has only fueled that enthusiasm.
The leak was shared by the Call of Duty news outlet Charlie Intel, citing a post from user TheGhostofHope. The tweet included a screenshot of the Verdansk map, though it remains uncertain whether this image was sourced from datamined files of Season 3 or is simply a reproduction of the original map. Unlike Verdansk '84, which was heavily influenced by Black Ops: Cold War, the teased location appears more akin to the original Verdansk. As Season 3 of Warzone is set to overlap with the mainline game Black Ops 6, it could attract a significant influx of players. Despite Black Ops 6 experiencing a decline in player numbers since its launch, neither Season 1 nor the Squid Game collaboration managed to significantly boost its player base.
Call of Duty: Warzone Leak Suggests Verdansk Returns in Season 3
Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 are scheduled to commence on January 28 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time across all platforms. With Season 1 lasting 54 days, this sets a potential standard duration for Season 2 and future major content releases. Season 2 is anticipated to bring enhancements to the Ricochet anti-cheat system and introduce new modes and events. Although no specific release date has been announced, fans are looking forward to a Spring launch for Season 3, which could see Verdansk's return in March, if the leak holds true.
While the prospect of Verdansk's return is exciting, it's based on a leak and should be viewed cautiously until officially confirmed by Activision or Treyarch. Both companies continue to update Black Ops 6 and Warzone, ensuring a steady stream of new content regardless of Verdansk's fate.
