A new chapter in Call of Duty: Warzone is set to begin, as the beloved Verdansk map is replaced by Caldera. The goodbye celebration to the original map, called Last Hours of Verdansk, seemingly closes the door on this chapter of the battle royale hit. Of course, nostalgic fans are sad to see Verdansk go. Will the map come back in future Warzone updates? We’ve got all the details.
Will the Verdansk map come back in Call of Duty: Warzone?
At the moment, it seems like the Verdansk map will not be coming back any time soon. This is a permanent switch of Warzone map, so don’t get your hopes up.
Yes, due to the scale of the Last Hours of Verdansk event, it’s logical to assume that we won’t be seeing it again. While that may be sad to some, it does make sense given the map hasn’t changed since Warzone launched in early 2020. The release of Black Ops: Cold War brought the Rebirth Island mini-map. However, the new Caldera map appears to be a full-time replacement for Verdansk.
Of course that doesn’t mean that we’ll never get to down enemies in Verdansk again. The map could one day come back as a nostalgia-filled limited-time mode, for example. That said, it would be a long while in the future, as Activision doesn’t want to downplay the switch over to Caldera. This new map is the total opposite to Verdansk, brimming with sunlight, luxurious foliage, and brand-new vehicles.
While this may be goodbye to Verdansk, we all know how much games love to bank on nostalgia. With that in mind, we could see a return down the line, but it won’t be any time soon.
For more on Warzone, we’ve got details on how to get the Caldera map early, as well as details on a future Nintendo Switch release date.
