Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 recently introduced the new Urzikstan battle royale map, and rumors suggest that the popular Verdansk map will make a comeback to Warzone by the end of 2024.

An industry insider, Tom Henderson, reported that Verdansk, the very first Warzone map, could return with the release of next year’s premium title. Henderson also mentioned that the arrival of Verdansk will coincide with the first season of Call of Duty 2024 and the game’s integration into Warzone. This aligns with a previous report from Windows Central, which suggested that the entry will be developed by Treyarch and set in the Gulf War as part of the Black Ops series.

Activision has already confirmed the return of Warzone’s popular Resurgence maps Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep in 2024, further fueling speculation about Verdansk’s return. Fans of the game could potentially look forward to revisiting classic maps and experiencing a wave of nostalgia.

This potential return of Verdansk comes at an exciting time for Call of Duty, as Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are preparing for a winter holiday event in Season 1. The upcoming update will include holiday-themed maps, limited-time modes, and special seasonal events.

It will be interesting to see how the reintroduction of Verdansk affects the Warzone community and whether it will rival the popularity of similar map returns in other games.
