|content=[[Companies/Activision|Activision]] has officially confirmed that Verdansk will make its highly anticipated return in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3, launching on April 3. The revamped map is described as "95% a rebuilt version" of the original Verdansk from Warzone's March 2020 debut, with the remaining 5% featuring updated lighting and quality-of-life enhancements.

Raven Software, the developer behind Warzone, emphasized that the goal of Verdansk’s return is to preserve the classic and nostalgic experience that fans remember. Key elements such as Buy Stations, Points of Interest, Killstreaks, and Easter eggs remain largely unchanged, ensuring that veteran players will feel right at home. Additionally, the updated map incorporates elements from later seasons, including Metro Station entrances and other refinements.
