Will Verdansk map be destroyed in Warzone? Leakers hint at major in-game event - Dexerto

A number of Call of Duty: Warzone leakers have hinted at a major event coming on March 11 that will apparently see Verdansk destroyed.

Ever since Warzone launched back in March of 2020, the developers have brought plenty of changes to the battle royale.

The integration of Black Ops Cold War added new weapons, modes, and a new map in the form of Rebirth Island, but most players can still be found on Verdansk.

With Season 2 for Black Ops Cold War on the horizon, it looks like Warzone is in for another major change.

A number of leakers have claimed that a major event is coming after the start of season 2, and it looks to focus on an explosion on Verdansk.

Here’s everything we know so far about a new battle royale map, potential release date, and how it will interact with Black Ops Cold War.

The map, which is based on the ‘Rebirth’ mission from the original Black Ops, was never intended to be a major new battle royale map, but it still left some players feeling slightly under-changed.

Rumors have already been swirling about another new Warzone setting, despite Rebirth Island only just launching with Season One in mid-December.

The most prominent rumor surrounding a future Warzone map is that it will take major influence from Black Ops Cold War’s Fireteam: Dirty Bomb maps.

Given the links with Black Ops Cold War, we could well see even more of a crossover between the battle royale and the 2020 CoD installment.

Fireteam maps have vehicles like the T-72 Tanks, Dirt Bikes, Buggies, Snowmobiles and Helicopters, some of which are already available in Warzone. Rumors also state that, like Black Ops 4’s Blackout battle royale, there will be water traversable by boats.

Some players have also experienced screen distortion when entering an office on the new Rebirth Island map, which is something that previously happened in August 2020 when teasing Warzone’s crossover with Black Ops Cold War, suggesting something big is on the way.

Some fans were hoping to see a new map implemented at the start of Season 2, but that looks increasingly unlikely given the changes coming to Verdansk in that update
