The original Verdansk map in Call of Duty: Warzone is seemingly gone for good.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Call of Duty: Warzone<\/strong> kicked off Season 3 with a two<\/a> part<\/a> in-game nuke event that saw the battle royale mode’s original map completely destroyed, before everyone was sent back in time.<\/p>\n

1984, the current setting of Warzone, ties the mode’s narrative with that of Black Ops Cold War. It also introduces a new (older) version of Verdansk<\/a>, one that imagines how the place would have looked like back then. Usually, when battle royale games change maps, the old\/original maps are kept fairly close, to roll out in limited-time events or bring back into rotation proper, as Apex Legends has been doing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Warzone won’t be doing any of that, it seems. In a developer broadcast, associate creative director at Raven, Amos Hodge, confirmed that we’ve seen the last of OG Verdansk.<\/p>\n

“Players don’t know it, but current-day Verdansk… they’ll never play it in that state again,” he said. “Current day Verdansk is gone and it’s not coming back.”<\/p>\n

Hodge went on to add that 1984 Verdansk is spring-themed, which explains the lighting change, and the presence of more vivid colours across the entire map.<\/p>\n

In a separate interview, Hodge revealed that Raven is working on PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S patches<\/a> for Warzone, which will allow the mode to take advantage of the powerful hardware of new consoles.<\/p>\n

The post Call of Duty: Warzone’s current-day Verdansk “is gone and it’s not coming back”<\/a> appeared first on VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n
