The excitement is building as we approach March 10, 2025, when we'll finally uncover more details about the much-anticipated return of Call of Duty Warzone's beloved Verdansk map. Activision had initially teased the comeback of Verdansk last August, hinting at a "spring 2025" release without specifying a date. However, a recent pop-up in the Call of Duty shop titled "The Verdansk Collection," accompanied by a countdown ending on March 10, has sparked renewed interest and anticipation among fans (thanks to InsiderGaming for the heads-up).
The pop-up features a simple, 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 anyone who spent time in Warzone's original sandbox. This scene was a staple before Verdansk was updated to Verdansk '84 in Season 3 and eventually replaced by Caldera in 2021. Currently, the only way to revisit this iconic map is through Call of Duty Warzone Mobile.
This news is particularly thrilling for fans who were told back in 2021 that "current-day Verdansk is gone and it's not coming back." The prospect of its return is set to reignite the passion of the Warzone community.
In other Call of Duty news, Black Ops 6 Season 2 is now live, introducing five new Multiplayer maps—Bounty, Dealership, Lifeline, Bullet, and Grind—alongside the return of the fan-favorite Gun Game mode, new weapons, and operators. There's also a high-profile Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event. Meanwhile, Warzone has seen a reduced content update as the development team focuses on critical gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements to address ongoing issues.
