Verdansk will return in Spring 2025 during the Black Ops 6 Warzone lifecycle. While it’s rather unusual that a Modern Warfare Map returns in this capacity for a Black Ops game, I’m sure it’s going to be fun to play with the new changes to movement and QOL since the last time we’ve seen the map!
AREA 99 COMING IN SEASON 1
Area 99 is the newest original map coming to the Black Ops 6 Warzone Integration during Season 1, so not only can you play Verdansk during the BO6 lifecycle, but also Area 99 as new experiences!

Previously, it was rumored that a new big map by the name of “Avalon” would be the Black Ops 6 Warzone map, but it seems we may not see that map until 2026 at the latest. Either way, Verdansk is back!
