Raven Software released its weekly Warzone playlist, accidentally giving players the wrong impression about the return of a fan-favorite map.
Caldera replaced Warzone’s original map Verdansk in 2021. The decision caused a rift between players, and some immediately called for the map’s return. Warzone players got their wish, as Call of Duty Warzone Mobile features Verdansk.
Warzone developers heard the complaints and said, “we all want” a map rotation between Verdansk and Caldera, but the install size would cause technical problems that could have a significant impact on the game.
Content creators and players threw up one final hail mary for Verdansk to return in Warzone’s fifth and final season, but it doesn’t appear to be in the works. Raven Software added salt to the wound by accidentally putting Verdansk in a Caldera game mode description.
Warzone players accidentally trolled by developers
Raven Software released its weekly Warzone playlist on October 6. CharlieINTEL reported the developers accidentally added a Mini BR Trios mode to Warzone that had Verdansk in the description.
The mode only features Caldera, and players felt deceived by the mistake.

Mini BR Trios is described as a “fast-paced battle royale in condensed areas of Verdansk.”
Warzone players thought this could finally be their moment to descend upon the iconic map one final time, but the prolonged drought continues.
