Exciting news for Call of Duty Warzone fans: the much-anticipated return of the Verdansk map is finally set to be revealed on March 10, 2025. Activision had previously teased the iconic map's comeback last August, with a tentative "spring 2025" timeline, but now we have a concrete date to mark on our calendars.
When players visit the Call of Duty shop, they're greeted with a pop-up titled "The Verdansk Collection," accompanied by a countdown ending on March 10, 2025. This information was first spotted by InsiderGaming. The pop-up is paired with a tri-color sketch depicting an alpine scene complete with snow, pine trees, a dam, and a crashed plane—hallmarks of the original Verdansk that many players fondly remember. Since its replacement by Verdansk '84 in Season 3 and then Caldera in 2021, the only way to revisit the original map has been through Call of Duty Warzone Mobile.
This development comes as a pleasant surprise, especially after fans were told in 2021 that "current-day Verdansk is gone and it's not coming back." The return of Verdansk is sure to reignite excitement among the Warzone community.
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 season also reintroduces the beloved Gun Game mode, along with new weapons and operators. Fans can also enjoy a unique crossover event featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, though it comes with a hefty price tag.
Meanwhile, Warzone has seen a lighter update than initially planned. The development team is focusing on addressing critical issues such as gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements to enhance the overall player experience.
