The iconic battle royale map Verdansk is making a comeback in Call of Duty: Warzone, launching on April 3, 2025, as part of Season 03. Rebuilt from the ground up, this updated version remains true to the original while introducing subtle quality-of-life improvements and enhanced visuals.
A Faithful Rebuild with Improvements
Verdansk has been meticulously recreated, maintaining approximately 95% of its original layout with minor refinements to structures, terrain, and visibility. The core gameplay remains unchanged, offering a nostalgic yet improved experience for veteran players.
Key Enhancements:
- Familiar Layout: The vast majority of Verdansk’s locations, including Karst River Quarry, Superstore, and the Military Base, remain unchanged.
- Enhanced Details: Subtle improvements include adjusted lighting, improved topography, and cosmetic updates like environmental details and clearer textures.
- Improved Access: Additional ladders, open windows, and accessible rooftops make traversal smoother without disrupting classic combat flow.
- Southern Shoreline Expansion: With swimming now possible, the map’s southern coast has been opened up, offering new tactical options.
Prepare for Launch
Players can preload the update before April 2, alongside the 24-hour Free Trial of Black Ops 6’s premium content. A separate Verdansk Recon Tour blog provides further details on specific points of interest and updated locations.
