Call of Duty 2024 Verdansk rumors explained
Prominent leaker, Tom Henderson, has reported for Insider Gaming that the original Verdansk map for Warzone is set to return by the end of this year. According to the report, it will come back with the launch of Season 1 of Call of Duty 2024.
The new CoD installment for this year is rumored to be called Black Ops Gulf War. It’s expected to be released in October, and the expectation is for Season 1 to come out in December as is again series tradition.
As for which version of the original Verdansk map will return, all the report says is that a source implied it will be from a ‘fan-favorite season’. This doesn’t really give too much of an indicator, but the return of Verdansk to Warzone is still exciting nonetheless.
In addition to Insider Gaming, CharlieIntel reports that they have heard Verdansk is returning to Warzone following the release of CoD 2024, too.
Although it’s not in the main battle royale experience on console or PC, you can play Verdansk in Warzone Mobile. Speaking about the return of Verdansk to Warzone Mobile earlier this year, Activision’s blog post acknowledged ‘players have been eager to get back to the city where it all started’.
Of course, the return of Verdansk to Warzone is not confirmed so is only rumors as of writing. It’s important to acknowledge that everything else is merely rumors and unconfirmed leaks too from the Gulf War setting to a leaked perk bound to upset fans.
For more CoD news, a player has achieved 10th prestige in the most unbelievable way, and there is the possibility Call of Duty 2024 could be free from day one for millions of gamers.
