Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 is finally bringing back Verdansk, giving fans a blast from the past with updated visuals and classic gameplay.
Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 is deploying next week, signalling a nostalgic return of the heavily rumoured fan-favourite map Verdansk. With the return, Call of Duty promises the return of original POIs and authentic, back-to-basics gameplay Warzone is known for. The update also brings a torrent of details surrounding further enhancements across audio and visuals, assuring longtime fans every building, and landmark has been painstakingly reconstructed to create the most immersive Warzone experience yet. Call of Duty: Warzone has also launched a Verdansk fly-through video tour to show players new enhancements, which can be seen below.
Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 Key Features
- Fan-favourite weapons return to the battlefield. Warzone’s Season 03 battle pass will include weapons made popular during the initial Verdansk launch, including the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle and the HDR sniper rifle. The Kilo 141 assault rifle is included as an unlockable reward in the Return to Verdansk Event.
- Return to Verdansk: from April 3 until April 15, fans can partake in this completely free Call of Duty; Warzone event with 20 rewards to unlock by playing games.
- Original Announcer Returns: the original Announcer sometimes known as “UK Team Leader” is back, bringing back the nostalgic feel to the original Verdansk map. 150 players, a 30-player return to form, will also be implemented. Combatants will also be allowed to shoot while falling in the air, swapping between parachute and shooting modes to damage adversaries.
- Omnimovement Adjustments: Call of Duty is using Season 03 as an opportunity to fine-tune player movement by slightly scaling back some of the speed increases introduced to omnimovement, and these adjustments bring movement feel back to how it felt initially in Warzone.
- Circle Zone Adjustment: Circle Collapse mechanics are just how you remember them from five years ago with Loadout Drops at the second and fifth circles. So-called endgame “dead zones” have been minimized.
- Verdansk points-of-interest will open as Season 03 wears on.
While the Call of Duty: Warzone Blog does a great job getting into the fine-tuned details and quality of life changes, Warzone has also shown how they’ve returned Verdansk to its former glory, brick-by-brick. While extensive play-by-play details can be found, there are still a few tricks Call of Duty has kept up its sleeve for fans to figure out during the Season 03 runtime.
Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 will start on April 3.
