It looks like we’ll finally find out more about the return of Call of Duty Warzone‘s much-loved Verdansk map on March 10.
Activision first confirmed Verdansk would be making a return to Warzone last August, but at the time the publisher would only commit to a vague “spring 2025” window and not a specific date.
Now, however, players visiting the Call of Duty shop get a pop-up that reads: “The Verdansk Collection,” and a countdown that looks set to explore a week today, on March 10, 2025 (thanks, InsiderGaming).
Accompanying the pop-up is a simple, tri-color sketch that shows an alpine scene of snow, pine trees, a dam, and a crashed plane — a familiar sight for anyone who spent time in Warzone’s original sandbox before it was superceded by Verdansk ’84 in Season 3, and then replaced completely by Caldera in 2021. Right now, the only way to revisit it is to play Call of Duty Warzone Mobile.
It’ll be exciting news for fans who were told back in 2021 that “current-day Verdansk is gone and it’s not coming back.”
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 2 is now live. It adds five Multiplayer maps — Bounty, Dealership, Lifeline, Bullet, and Grind — the return of the fan-favorite Gun Game mode, and new weapons and operators. And don’t forget the super expensive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event.
Warzone, however, received less content than originally planned as the team works to address some of the more severe issues currently afflicting the game, including gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.
