Summary

  • Call of Duty: Warzone leaker reveals new information on Verdansk's return.
  • A reliable insider claims Verdansk is "pretty much" the original version released in March 2020.
  • Stadium will once again have an intact roof, but the building's interior will be fully accessible.

A trusted Call of Duty: Warzone leaker has revealed new information about the return of Verdansk, seemingly revealing which version of the map will return and when. Call of Duty: Warzone publisher Activision has already confirmed that the game's first map will triumphantly return in Spring 2025, but with that window quickly approaching, more details are beginning to emerge.

Since its release in 2020, Call of Duty's free-to-play Battle Royale title has evolved exponentially​. Not only have new Warzone maps, modes, and weapons been released regularly, but the title has also undergone massive overhauls with new gameplay improvements and features. The most recent example of this came with the launch of Black Ops 6 Season 1, which saw Treyarch Studios' newly developed omnidirectional movement system implemented into Warzone. Sadly, many fans and professional players consider the game to be in a dire state, with Warzone currently riddled with cheaters, bugs, and more. However, the community is eager to see Verdansk return as there is hope that the game will be returned to its former glory.

Warzone Leaker Reveals New Details on Verdansk's Return

The return of Verdansk has officially been set for Spring 2025, but Warzone leaker TheGhostOfHope has corroborated various other rumors that claim the map will be released alongside Black Ops 6 Season 3. The new season is expected to drop sometime in March, which means the map's return could be a matter of weeks away. With not long left to go, Hope has taken to Twitter to reveal new information regarding Verdansk's return. According to the leaker, the version of Verdansk released with Season 3 will be "pretty much" the original version from March 2020. This means the interior train station will be closed, and so will the roof of Stadium.

However, it appears that not everything will be as it was in 2020. While Hope says the roof of Stadium will be closed once again, they did reveal that its interior will be fully accessible. For those who might not remember, Stadium was initially inaccessible at launch, but a Warzone update would eventually open the enormous building up for players to battle inside. The leaker also stated that there would be no fast-travel subway system, but the train that circles the map would be returning.

The map's return has been highly anticipated by the Call of Duty community for many months now, but some Warzone players have concerns about Verdansk's big comeback. As mentioned previously, Warzone has evolved massively since Verdansk was around, which has led to concern among some members of the community that the map won't "feel" the same as it once did. New movement systems, different weapons, removed features, and more could drastically alter how Verdansk feels from a gameplay perspective, which is why some players aren't entirely sold on its return.
