Excitement is building among Call of Duty Warzone fans as we approach the highly anticipated return of the beloved Verdansk map, scheduled for March 10. Activision had initially announced in August that Verdansk would be making a return to Warzone, but kept the specifics under wraps, only hinting at a "spring 2025" timeframe. Now, the wait is nearly over, as a pop-up in the Call of Duty shop reveals "The Verdansk Collection" countdown, set to end on March 10, 2025, according to InsiderGaming.
The teaser features a tri-color sketch depicting an alpine scene complete with snow, pine trees, a dam, and a crashed plane—elements that will be instantly recognizable to those who explored Warzone's original sandbox before it evolved into Verdansk '84 in Season 3 and was eventually replaced by Caldera in 2021. Currently, the only way to revisit this iconic map is through Call of Duty Warzone Mobile.
This news comes as a thrilling reversal for fans who were disheartened by the 2021 announcement that "current-day Verdansk is gone and it's not coming back."
In other Call of Duty news, Black Ops 6 Season 2 is now live, bringing with it five new Multiplayer maps: Bounty, Dealership, Lifeline, Bullet, and Grind. The update also reintroduces the fan-favorite Gun Game mode, along with new weapons and operators. Additionally, there's a high-profile Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event, which is sure to catch the eye of many players.
Meanwhile, Warzone has seen a more modest update as the development team focuses on resolving critical issues, including gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life enhancements, to ensure a smoother experience for players.
