The announcement comes as a slight surprise, as the current Battle Pass countdown had hinted at a reset on March 20. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer for Season 3, with more details expected to be revealed next week. This delay aligns with the upcoming 5th anniversary celebration of Call of Duty: Warzone, promising even more excitement for the community.

Anticipation is high for Season 3, especially with Activision teasing the return of the fan-favorite Verdansk map. The map's comeback has been hinted at for some time, and a recent pop-up in the Call of Duty shop for "The Verdansk Collection" set to launch on March 10 suggests that the iconic map's return is imminent. Fans can expect a comprehensive overview of what Season 3 will bring around the same time as the Verdansk Collection's release.

While we await further details on Season 3, players can continue enjoying the current Season 2, which has already introduced five new multiplayer maps, the return of the beloved Gun Game mode, new weapons and operators, and an exciting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the launch of Season 3 and the potential return of Verdansk.
