EXCLUSIVE - Original Call of Duty Warzone Map ‘Verdansk’ is Set to Return in 2024

 




Call of Duty Warzone fans, rejoice! The original map of Verdansk, which was nuked and replaced by Verdansk '84 in April 2022, is reportedly coming back to the game in 2024.


This is according to a recent post by @TheGhostOfHope on X (or Twitter), who claims to have insider information from Activision.


What is Verdansk?

Verdansk is the first and most iconic map of Call of Duty Warzone, the free-to-play battle royale mode of the popular first-person shooter franchise. 


Verdansk is based on the fictional city of the same name in the country of Kastovia, which is inspired by real-life locations in Ukraine and Russia.


Verdansk features a variety of terrains and landmarks, such as the airport, the stadium, the dam, the downtown, the prison, the bunker, and the gulag. 


The map can host up to 150 players in a match, who parachute into the map and scavenge for weapons, armor, and other items while avoiding the deadly gas circle that shrinks over time.


Verdansk was introduced in March 2020, along with the launch of Warzone, and has been the main map of the game for two years. 


During that time, Verdansk has undergone several changes and updates, such as the addition of the subway system, the opening of the stadium, the Halloween event, and the Cold War integration.


Why was Verdansk nuked?

In April 2022, as part of the Season 3 update of Warzone, Verdansk was nuked and replaced by Verdansk '84, a retro-themed version of the map set in the Cold War era. 


This was done to refresh the game and introduce new elements and features, such as the 80s action heroes event, the red doors, and the satellite crash sites.


The nuking of Verdansk was also part of the storyline of Warzone, which involved a zombie outbreak, a rogue operator named Stitch, and a mysterious organization called Perseus. 


The nuke was detonated to contain the zombie threat and prevent Perseus from using Verdansk as a base of operations.


When and how will Verdansk return?

According to @TheGhostOfHope, Verdansk will return to Warzone on March 10, 2024, which coincides with the game’s fourth anniversary. 


However, the details of how Verdansk will return are still unclear. Verdansk may be a separate map option, alongside Verdansk '84 and Caldera, the new map that was released in December 2021 with the launch of Warzone 2.0.


It is also possible that Verdansk will be part of a special event or a limited-time mode, similar to how Rebirth Island, a smaller map set in a Soviet prison, was introduced in Season 1 of Warzone. 


Alternatively, Verdansk could be part of a new storyline or a flashback sequence, as some fans have speculated that Warzone 2.0 is a simulation created by Stitch.


What are the sources of this information?

The main source of this information is @TheGhostOfHope, who claims to have insider information from Activision, the publisher of Call of Duty. @TheGhostOfHope has a history of leaking accurate information about Warzone, such as the release date of Caldera, the name of Warzone 2.0, and the return of the gulag.


However, this information has not been officially confirmed or denied by Activision or Raven Software, the developer of Warzone. Therefore, it should be taken with a grain of salt and treated as a rumor until further notice.


What are the reactions of the fans?

The reactions of the fans to this news are mixed. Some fans are excited and nostalgic about the return of Verdansk, as they prefer the original map over Verdansk '84 or Caldera. 


They hope that Verdansk will bring back the classic gameplay and feel of Warzone, as well as fix some of the issues and bugs that plague the current game.


Other fans are skeptical and disappointed about the return of Verdansk, as they think that it is a lazy and recycled move by Activision. 


They argue that Verdansk is outdated and boring and that the game needs more innovation and variety. They also worry that Verdansk will split the player base and cause more problems for the game’s performance and balance.


What are your thoughts?

What do you think about the return of Verdansk to Warzone? Are you happy or sad? Do you believe or doubt this information?
