Summary

  • On the anniversary of the release of Activision’s Warzone, the company released a trailer to announce the return of the game’s original map, Verdansk.
  • The map will be available for players to use when Season 3 of the game launches on April 3.
  • The announcement follows news that the sequel to the game, Warzone 2.0, will be rebranded simply as Warzone to consolidate the player base.
  • The trailer has received some criticism for being tone-deaf, particularly for the focus on military imagery at a time of heightened tensions between NATO and Russia.
  • The relaunch of the map is clearly inspired by the success of the limited-time Fortnitie mode, OG, which successfully brought back elements of the game’s original format.
