Since its initial reveal in 2020, the in-game region eventually turned into an iconic place for the players who enjoyed the battle royale experience of venturing into the large area. Thanks to a new rumor, it seems like their favorite map is set to return to the FPS franchise.

Yes, there have been various leaks before that claimed Verdansk’s return to Call of Duty Warzone. But now, there’s a brand new speculation coming from reliable sources that the beloved battle royale map is coming back. Interestingly, it’s got a connection with Treyarch’s 2024 COD installment. But is this new rumor a sign of hope or not?

Verdansk reportedly confirmed for Warzone 2024 with Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War

Media outlet and trusted insider account for all things COD- CharlieIntel recently took to the social media platform X. While dropping a post on Verdansk, the website claimed the iconic map is returning to Warzone in 2024. On top of that, the account also wrote that Verdansk will be part of Treyarch’s highly anticipated next Black Ops game. According to strong rumors, it’s called Black Ops Gulf War.

Interestingly, CharlieIntel’s update was based on another report from a different insider. Going by the actual rumor connected to Verdansk, it seems like the map will be introduced back to the Call of Duty franchise with a Seasonal content-based approach for Black Ops Gulf War.

The devs are reportedly planning to follow the Warzone ‘main map’ release schedule. Hence, they might reveal Verdansk with the Season 1 update for Treyarch’s Black Ops Gulf War.
