Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 Delayed as Verdansk's Return Faces High Stakes

Activision pushes back Season 3 to April 3, with the revival of Verdansk seen as critical to Warzone's future amid declining player numbers.

Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 6 has been delayed from March 20 to April 3, as Activision aims to refine the update for a polished release.
The return of Verdansk, Warzone's original map, is widely anticipated and confirmed to closely resemble the 2020 version, according to leaks.
Activision has indicated that the success of Verdansk's revival is pivotal, with reports suggesting that Warzone 3 could be canceled if it fails to retain or attract players.
Warzone's player base has hit its lowest average on Steam since tracking began, with February's player count at just 54,575, reflecting broader struggles for the game.
Activision plans to release more details about Season 3 and Verdansk's return during Warzone's fifth anniversary on March 10, heightening expectations for the update.
