Call Of Duty: Warzone Season 3 – back to the 80s (Picture: Activision) The biggest update yet for Warzone has just gone live, as GameCentral hears from Raven Software about the past and future. 2 days ago 0:00 / 2:41. After launching a little over a year ago, Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the most popular free-to-play titles right now, with 100 million people playing the battle royale.
They have been giving little hints as to what might happen when the season drops, with Nuclear devices being found in Verdansk and this has caused many to believe we could be seeing the Warzone map change as we know it for the first time.
There is lots of information and leaks to reveal around the new season. Gaming fans thought a new map was coming when Black Ops took control of Warzone, however they treated fans to a new map: Rebirth Island, in an entirely different game mode. It seems like now fans might get what they wanted back when Black Ops joined forces with Warzone.
Here is everything we know so far about Warzone Season 3:

What we know about the location and setting of the new Call of Duty Warzone map
Many are expecting the Nuke Event to wipe out Verdansk and change the map entirely. Whilst it hasn’t been officially revealed what will happen, the new guns and other leaks give a lot of hints that Battle Royale will go back in time and be set in the same time as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This would see it be set in the 1980’s and instead of changing the location it would stay as Verdansk.
Season 3 Map Size
Leaks suggest that the size of the new map in Warzone will be an 8x8 grid. In Verdansk as we currently know it, the area that is playable is currently 6.5x7 and therefore the new map should be bigger.

The update for the new season will be available on April 21st at 9pm PT, which is 4am on April 22nd GMT.
