Call of Duty: Warzone celebrated its 4th anniversary on 10th March 2024. But even 4 years down the line, players can’t stop pining for it. In November of 2022, Warzone 2.0 was released. While the game was a massive hit among fans, it failed to emulate the popularity of the original version.
With Season 2 of Warzone 2 underway, some fans are already asking for the return of the original version. While not all fans were unanimously on board, a sizable section of fans was found reminiscing about the Verdansk map of Warzone in the comments of a post that had gone viral on X.
As more and more players are asking for a return, Activision Blizzard will do well to bank on the fan sentiment and bring back the fan-favorite game. Although as of the moment of writing this article, no news or updates have been released from the company regarding the matter.
