Leaks suggest original Warzone features may return with Verdansk, recreating the classic gameplay feel.
A new rumor suggests that certain features from the original Call of Duty: Warzone could return alongside Verdansk. This would aim to recreate the classic Warzone experience, offering players a gameplay feel similar to what they had in the initial version of the Call of Duty battle royale title.
With the much-anticipated return of Verdansk in Warzone, leaks about its comeback have been nonstop, with the possibility that it could be launched with Black Ops 6‘s Season 3 update. Several leakers have shared details about the changes and new features that will accompany Verdansk, including a range of nostalgic content designed to let players relive the original experience of Activision’s free-to-play title.

In a post on Twitter, reputable Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope shared an image of floating loot in Warzone‘s Verdansk, captioning it with “It’s back,” hinting at the return of the feature alongside the map. In a follow-up tweet, the leaker also mentioned that the game has “plans for Red Doors to return,” though he clarified that these plans are set for a “future Warzone season” and will not coincide with the map’s release.
Verdansk’s Return Is Set to Restore Call of Duty: Warzone’s Original Era
With Activision aiming to make Verdansk’s return to Warzone a success, the reintroduction of red doors and floating loot will play a key role in keeping the experience both dynamic and familiar. The first feature was originally designed to provide players with a unique fast-travel option, distinct from the game’s redeploy balloons or the subway system seen in previous versions. As for floating loot, its inclusion has sparked debate among fans who prefer either a backpack-based or ground loot system. However, this feature has evolved depending on the development team in charge. To recapture and restore the original Verdansk experience, the return of floating loot seems to be a key component.
Given the leaks suggesting Verdansk could return to Warzone as early as Season 3, adjusting certain game systems that have changed over time would make sense. These adjustments, some introduced during its lifecycle to keep the experience fresh with each update, could help recreate the original battle royale feel. While Activision’s exact intentions remain unclear, restoring Verdansk as close as possible to its March 2020 version would help most players feel at home. Many already know the map inside and out, making it easier to adapt while focusing on the nostalgia and new content that will accompany its return.
