Verdansk, which features iconic locations like Stadium, Train Station, and Superstore, will make its return in spring 2025. This comeback follows years of speculation and excitement within the community. Although it's unclear if the map will undergo any changes, the announcement has reignited passion for Warzone, as many players lamented the absence of this classic map since its removal in 2021. This update coincides with news about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, scheduled for release on October 25, 2024, and promises to keep the momentum going in the Call of Duty franchise.
