Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 Launches Early, Verdansk Returns April 3

Activision confirms Warzone downtime on April 2 ahead of the revamped Verdansk map debut, with free rewards and new gameplay updates.

Black Ops 6 Season 3 will now launch on April 2, 2025, a day earlier than previously announced, with a 24-hour free trial available to all players.
Warzone will go offline for 24 hours starting April 2 to prepare for the return of Verdansk on April 3, featuring updated visuals and gameplay improvements.
Players who access the Warzone menu during the downtime will unlock the Kilo 141 assault rifle for free, alongside other rewards tied to the Return to Verdansk event.
The revamped Verdansk map will reintroduce floating loot, classic weapons like the HDR sniper rifle, and a movement system designed to resemble the original Warzone experience.
A new 'Battle Royale Casual' mode with bot opponents will debut, offering a less competitive option for players to practice and enjoy the game.
