Ahead of anticipated Verdansk return, Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 has been delayed
Season 3 will be “a big moment” and Activision’s “taking the time to deliver a great experience”
Activision has seemingly delayed the launch date for Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3.
Based on the Season 2 Battle Pass expiry date, Season 3 was widely expected to kick off on March 20, but it will now launch two weeks later than previously anticipated.
“Season 03 is a big moment for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 6, and we’re taking the time to deliver a great experience starting on April 3,” Activision said in a statement published on X.
“More to come following Call of Duty: Warzone’s 5th anniversary next week,” it added.
Activision announced last August that it planned to bring back Warzone’s original map, Verdansk, in the spring of 2025.
And last month, CharlieIntel reported that content creators had been playtesting Verdansk ahead of its anticipated launch with Season 3.
It now appears likely that Activision will share details on the map’s return when the game celebrates its fifth anniversary on March 10.
A pop-up for the “The Verdansk Collection” currently appearing on the Call of Duty shop tells players to check back on that date for more information.
Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2 launched on January 28 with relatively little on offer for battle royale players in terms of new content.
Activision explained at the time that Warzone updates previously planned for Season 2 had “been shifted to create bandwidth to address foundational issues” with the game.
That meant there was to be a focus on gameplay tuning, quality of life improvements and bug fixes, with their release staggered across Season 2.
