Verdansk's Triumphant Return to Call of Duty: Warzone Now Imminent!
The highly anticipated return of Verdansk to Call of Duty: Warzone seems increasingly probable, as Activision unveils their vision for the future of the game Get ready to experience the beloved fan-favorite map once again!
Call of Duty: Warzone has recently revealed a wealth of information regarding its next steps. Coinciding with the November launch of Modern Warfare 3, the game is set to undergo exciting changes that will include a revamp of the core movement mechanics. Additionally, fans now have a clear idea of the upcoming maps that will be available to play.
During the recent Call of Duty Next presentation, a dedicated section was focused on Call of Duty: Warzone. The major announcement was the release of a new core map called Urzikstan, scheduled for December. In addition to exploring this new map, fans can look forward to the return of Rebirth Island, bringing a renewed sense of anticipation for the beloved map Verdansk to take center stage once again.
Call of Duty: Warzone: A Potential Return To Verdansk
Verdansk, the inaugural map for Warzone, catapulted the game into popularity upon its release in 2020. Its status as the game's first-ever map has earned it a devoted following within the community. However, the introduction of the underwhelming Caldera map in 2021 led to the removal of Verdansk from the Warzone lineup. This departure sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, yearning for the "glory days" it represented. Many have been vocal about their desire for Verdansk to make a comeback, urging Activision to reinstate it alongside any future core maps.
The reluctance to split Warzone's player base across multiple large-scale maps is understandable, which has led to the idea of Verdansk returning being viewed as wishful thinking. However, recent news of the planned reintroduction of Rebirth Island and Fortune's Keep in 2024 offers hope for Verdansk's revival. Rebirth Island was initially introduced in 2020 as a smaller-scale battle royale experience specifically for Warzone's Resurgence game mode, followed by Fortune's Keep in 2022 serving a similar purpose. The reintroduction of these smaller maps in 2024 indicates a willingness from Activision to revisit previous experiences, making it likely that Verdansk will also receive the same treatment in due time.
Warzone has the potential to celebrate its four or even five-year anniversary with an exciting event, revisiting beloved locations and playlists that made the game famous. This event could bring back Verdansk as the main Warzone map for a season, granting fans the nostalgic experience they've been longing for. Following the footsteps of Modern Warfare 3's reintroduction of classic MW2 multiplayer maps, it seems fitting for Warzone enthusiasts to relish in these classic moments as well.
While it is important to highlight the Urzikstan map, a brief return of Verdansk once the new map is established could significantly enhance the overall Warzone experience. As Warzone is set to embrace the movement system of Modern Warfare 3 in the upcoming months, bringing back Verdansk would provide a perfect blend of old and new elements to this popular battle royale game.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
