Verdansk call of duty warzone return date rumoured amid season 3 leaks

A glance at the player counts for Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone reveals that Season 3 is shaping up to be a pivotal moment since its inception. With player numbers dwindling and

interest waning, it's crucial for Activision to step up their game. Back in October and November 2025, Call of Duty's Steam figures were soaring past 300,000, but now, CoD

struggles to muster even 100,000 players - and the numbers continue to drop on a daily basis. The launch of Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 3 could set the tone for the following half-year.

The conclusion of the Season 2 Reloaded Battle Pass indicates that Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 is likely to kick off on March 20, which many streamers have earmarked to be the date

when Verdansk - the original warzone battle royal format map from 2020 - will drop too. Like most live service games featuring a Battle Pass, there's usually a countdown to signal the

end of the season. This is also true for the Season 2 Reloaded Battle Pass of Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Taking into account the days left—and considering the history of CoD seasons—March 20

emerges as the probable start date for Season 3. Black Ops 6 and Warzone gamers were gifted a hefty 88GB (Xbox) update last Thursday with only a few additional bits, including a new map, but

nothing new on the Warzone front. Will it mean the seeds have been planted within the game files to make room for the highly-anticipated Warzone map? VERDANSK RUMOURED TO RETURN IN WARZONE

The rumoured return of Verdansk is the headline-grabbing news for Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3, stirring considerable excitement. After months, perhaps even years, of speculation,

Activision confirmed the comeback on Aug. 28, 2024. "Run it back. Verdansk will return to Call of Duty Warzone in 2025," announced the official Call of Duty X Twitter handle. While

there's no definitive confirmation on the exact timing, all indicators suggest Verdansk's resurgence in Season 3. For those concerned about which iteration of Verdansk we might be

getting, there's no need to fret. As per the leaker TheGhostOfHope, "It's pretty much the OG March 2020 version." ROZE SKIN RUMOURS As for Season 3 leaks and Roze

rumours, there's no official roadmap yet, so this is purely conjecture at this point. However, leaks suggest that the notorious Roze skin could be making a nostalgic comeback in Season

3, along with other returning Operators and the usual seasonal content. If you've never had the misfortune of facing off against a player sporting the Roze skin, consider yourself

fortunate. In the original Warzone, Roze donned an all-black military suit that blended seamlessly with many environments. This led to it being labelled as a pay-to-win skin, as players

effectively camouflaged themselves, gaining an upper hand in combat situations. Call of Duty news outlet Detonated speculated: "Hudson, Roze, and Mace Operators are rumored to return in

Black Ops 6, most likely with Season 3. It's also reasonable to expect more maps, game modes, a new Battle Pass, and additional Operators are on the horizon."
