Call of Duty: Warzone - Is the Verdansk Warzone Map Going Away?


While Black Ops Cold War is clearly the main focus for most Call of Duty fans, there are still a ton of people who put their attention to Call of Duty: Warzone.

With a new season of Black Ops Cold War coming and a new Warzone update coming as well, fans are curious if the current map will be replaced.

Call of Duty: Warzone - Is the Verdansk Warzone Map Going Away?

Verdansk has been the main map of Warzone for a while now but the upcoming update suggests that a number of mysterious changes are coming to the area. Leakers of the game have claimed a big nuke event is coming to Warzone, which will introduce a brand-new map for players to shoot each other in. No concrete proof of this has been confirmed but it's something.

Images of the Warzone Season 2 update include a Vodianoy ship, which suggests that an even bigger threat is coming to the free-to-play shooter. Right now, it’s too soon to guess what this new enemy could be but that should be enough to get the attention of hardcore Call of Duty fans.

Activision did confirm that Warzone Season 2 would introduce a number of new things but are playing coy when it comes to the full story. They did state that there are new “points of interest” that have been uncovered, but a warning to soldiers was released, claiming that you’ll be exploring it at your own risk.

Sounds like a reason for a brand-new map to make Warzone Season 2 more interesting, if you ask me.
