The map that once defined Call of Duty: Warzone returns with extensive updates. Verdansk, known for its iconic locations such as Superstore, Quarry and Prison Gulag, has been completely rebuilt to provide players with a familiar yet optimized gameplay experience. On April 3, at the start of the new Season 03, gamers can once again immerse themselves in the world of Verdansk and put their Battle Royale skills to the test.

New features and improvements

The reconstruction of the Verdansk map remains true to its original roots: around 95% of the map has been faithfully recreated, including all known locations and structures. Minor adjustments such as optimized topography, improved accessibility and new elements ensure an even better gaming experience. Changes include new ladders, more precise interior and exterior lighting and, for the first time, the ability to swim along the southern coast. This expanded area now offers new strategic possibilities in the game.

Improvements such as balancing hard-to-reach areas and the addition of 'ascender' zip lines have also been made to ensure smoother navigation. The detail work is also particularly noteworthy: from additional cover options through small changes to the revision of the map light for better visibility, the map has been specifically revised without distorting the game mechanics.

An event full of rewards and nostalgia

To coincide with the launch of Verdansk, a major event is being launched in which players can unlock up to 20 free rewards. Whether weapons such as the Kilo 141 or CR-56 AMAX - new content awaits players as soon as the map returns. Veterans of Warzone will immediately recognize the lovingly reconstructed locations, including well-deserved favorites such as the hospital or the bustling downtown of Tavorsk District.

The accompanying "Tour of Verdansk" blog also offers a detailed preview of the revised points of interest. From the towering cliffs of Gora Dam to the labyrinthine streets of the Boneyard, each location has been carefully crafted to highlight the strategic and nostalgic elements of the map.

A glimpse into the future

The reconstruction of Verdansk marks just the beginning of a series of planned updates. Future seasons will offer players additional content and changes that are aligned with the original Verdansk style. The aim is to create the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern gameplay, appealing to fans of the early Warzone era as well as new players.
