Call of Duty: Warzone Faces Uncertain Future as Verdansk Revival Delayed

Activision postpones Season 3 update to April 3, with Verdansk's return seen as a critical effort to revive the game's dwindling player base.

Call of Duty: Warzone's Season 3 update, originally set for March 20, has been delayed to April 3 to ensure a polished release.
The update is expected to bring back Verdansk, the original map from 2020, widely regarded as a fan favorite by long-time players.
Reports suggest that Verdansk's success in retaining and attracting players will determine Warzone's future, with speculation that the game could be discontinued by 2026 if it fails.
The player base for Call of Duty titles on Steam hit a record low in February 2025, reflecting broader struggles for Warzone amid competition and gameplay issues.
Activision has described Season 3 as a 'big moment' for the franchise, with fans cautiously optimistic about the delay improving the update's quality.
