At last, the rumors have come to an end as Verdansk has officially been confirmed to be making its return in just a matter of weeks. Considering that today is the fifth anniversary since Verdansk made its debut, the announcement is fitting as the game comes full circle. Whether you’ve been a fan from the beginning or you’re a newer Warzone player, everyone will be taken back to the glory days of the battle royale.
When Warzone moved on from Verdansk, players saw the map get hit by a nuke in a thrilling live event. However, it seems that nothing can truly break the map, as it is slated to re-launch back in its original form.

Veteran players will remember Superstore as the hot drop, as well as the Hospital which grew to become a fan-favorite landing.
