However, while the leak fuels excitement, Activision has not commented on it yet. Fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to revisit the map that saw countless unforgettable moments. The Warzone community has been vocal about their desire for Verdansk’s return, with many citing it as the perfect mix of urban combat and open areas. While some changes are expected, like the absence of the fast-travel subway system, fans are ready to relive their early Warzone experiences.
What’s Changing in Verdansk
According to the leak, Verdansk's return will not be without some changes. For instance, the interior of the Train Station will be closed, and players won’t be able to access the roof of the Stadium. The map will feature the return of the classic train, but it will be missing the fast-travel subway system that was available in later updates. Fans of the original version of Verdansk will appreciate the map’s focus on traditional navigation, allowing players to experience the game as they did during Warzone's early days.
These adjustments to the map’s layout seem to be in response to fan feedback, as the game’s core community has consistently expressed their love for the simpler, more straightforward navigation style of the original Verdansk. Even with these changes, players are expected to enjoy a fresh yet familiar Warzone experience, offering the perfect balance between nostalgia and new challenges. While the leak provides a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come, only time will tell if Activision will officially confirm these details.
