Based on leaks, Warzone fans have a lot to be excited about in Season 3 such as Verdansk’s long-awaited return and classic weapons.

In Season 2, Raven Software delayed new content in favor of improving quality of life, balancing changes, and fixing bugs. The mid-season update, for example, finally fixed the Mountaineer Perk, revived the Combat Record and stamina bar, and added a new Perk.

Not all of these adjustments went over smoothly, as the devs quickly backtracked on a change that would have prevented players from re-using the same loadout drop after respawning. With all the back-end maintenance out of the way, Season 3 is set to introduce a full slate of content.

Let’s take a look at everything to look forward to, including when it kicks off and all of the leaked additions.

Warzone Season 3 start date

Warzone Season 3 is set to start on Thursday, April 3, 2025.

Although the Season 2 Battle Pass timer originally pointed to a March 20 release, Activision announced a delay roughly a month out, alerting fans that devs need a few extra weeks to “deliver a great experience.”

Warzone Verdansk leaks

According to leaks, Verdansk is set to return with the Season 3 update. Officially, we know it’s coming back in “spring 2025,” but now, all leaks point towards Season 3.

From March 2020 to December 2021, Verdansk was Warzone‘s main map before being replaced by Caldera. Rumors claimed Black Ops 6 would launch with Verdansk as its primary battle royale map, but instead, the devs gave the spring release window.

The map is set to feature Resurgence as a game mode and, according to reliable leaker TheGhostOfHope, it closely resembles the original 2020 version. Although the stadium roof will remain closed, players can still access the interior. And while the train returns, the Train Station POI will be shut.

While the train will also be available, players shouldn’t count on a fast-travel subway system. Despite the excitement, there is some fear about the remake as Warzone pro, DiazBiffle, argued that the devs wouldn’t have time to address the cheating problem before Verdansk launches.

CharlieIntel’s sources could only confirm the Grau and HDR’s arrival, while Hope said the AMAX and Kilo is a “grain of salt rumor,” so far from guaranteed.

These were all meta weapons throughout the majority of Verdansk’s lifecycle, so there’s plenty of nostalgia for these Modern Warfare 2019 weapons.

Dataminers have also found references to the controversial Roze Operator, whose completely black outfit was almost invisible in Verdansk’s dark corners.
