After a three-and-a-half-year hiatus, the fan-favorite Verdansk map is making a triumphant return to Call of Duty: Warzone in Season 3.  Originally launched alongside Warzone in 2020, Verdansk was replaced by Caldera in late 2021, leaving many players yearning for its familiar landscapes.

While Warzone has seen several maps come and go, including Caldera, Al Mazrah, and Urzikstan, none have captured the community's heart quite like Verdansk.  Previous replacements were met with mixed reactions, often criticized for bugs, glitches, or simply failing to live up to the original.

Activision has officially unveiled the tac-map for the returning Verdansk, confirming the presence of beloved points of interest such as Superstore, Downtown, and Stadium.  The map also confirms earlier leaks showing Stadium's roof closed, though details about its interior remain scarce.

The return of Verdansk follows a trend in live-service games, notably Fortnite's successful revival of its original map. This has sparked speculation about Verdansk's longevity in Warzone.  Leaker TheGhostOfHope suggests that Activision plans to update Verdansk throughout Black Ops 6 seasons and beyond, aiming to maintain player engagement.

While details about Season 3 remain limited, Activision has hinted at the return of several iconic Modern Warfare weapons in a recent video.  Rumors point to the Grau 5.56, Kilo, and AMAX making a comeback alongside Verdansk.  Furthermore, leaks suggest the return of several Modern Warfare operators, including the controversial Roze skin.  Confirmation of these rumors will likely come with the full Season 3 reveal.
