Verdansk has long been gone from Call of Duty: Warzone - it's been roughly three years since the map was circulated out o❀f rotation in the shooter. By the time Verdansk arrives back in Warzone next year in 2025, it will have been right around five years since it originally launched as Warzone's base game map in 2020.
Right now, we don't knowꦉ if Verdansk will look and play exactly how it did three years ago. The original map was filled with points of interest like Stadium and Superstore, among others, but Activision hasn't confirmed whether Verdansk will be altered in any way when it returns.
More immediately though, Area 99 is the new Warzone Resurgence map, and it'll be debuting in the battle royale's smaller, more focused mꦺode later this year in Season 1. Dubbed the "birthplace of Nuketown," you can get a glimpse at some of the points of interest for Area 99 just below, and it does somewhat look like a spiritual successor to the classic Black Ops multiplayer map.
