A new leak has brought information about the long -awaited return of Verdansk in Call of Duty: Warzone. Files found in the game suggest that players will be able to explore the iconic map in resurgence mode, which adds a new dynamic to the experience. Activision had already confirmed in August 2024 that Verdansk would return in the spring of 2025, and now, with the date approaching, more details begin to emerge.

Verdansk can return with resurgence mode on Warzone
Since its launch in 2020, Warzone has undergone several changes. With each new title in the Call of Duty franchise, Activision integrates new mechanics with Battle Royale, bringing maps, weapons and unpublished modes. However, many of these additions have not been well received by the community, which has been asking for the return of Verdansk, the first map of the game.
With the arrival of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Warzone received a new omnidirectional movement system in season 1, but the changes could not meet the players' desire to revive the original experience. The constant request of the community led Activision to confirm that Verdansk would return in the spring of 2025.
Although there is no official date yet, rumors indicate that the return can happen in season 3, scheduled for March. With season 2 already advanced, the map return may be closer than ever. Recently, the data miner known as reality found files in the game that mention a resurgence mode for Verdansk. This mode is similar to the traditional Battle Royale, but allows players to relive if their companions will survive enough time.
In addition, reality points out that the version that will return to the game may be the original Verdansk, without the changes seen in Black Ops Cold War. The suspicion came from a name named “OG_Verdansk”, suggesting that the map will bring the classic layout, without the accessible stadium and without the underground subway system.
Players celebrate the return of the map, but changes in the game can impact nostalgia
Verdansk's return announcement has been well received by the community, but some players have questions about how the map will work with the changes implemented in the game over the years. When Verdansk debuted in 2020, Warzone's gameplay was quite different. Since then, Raven Software has added new systems, weapons and mechanics that changed the pace of the game.
With these modifications, part of the community fears that Verdansk does not have the same impact as the time of its launch. For some players, the experience may not be as nostalgic as expected.
Still, the return of the map represents an important moment for Warzone, rekindling fans' interest and bringing a new opportunity to explore one of Activision's Battle Royale's most striking scenarios. If speculation is confirmed, Verdansk may be available in the coming weeks, reintroducing one of the franchise's most popular experiences.
