Pete Actipis, game director for Call of Duty: Warzone at Raven Software, has discussed the strategic return of the OG map Verdansk, emphasizing it was not just temporary. Actipis indicated that the revival is part of a longer journey, hinting at ongoing improvements and player experience focus. The return has positively influenced player engagement on platforms like Steam and garnered favorable reactions from the community, which Actipis acknowledges is unusual but welcome. Moreover, Activision has plans for a new Call of Duty title in 2025 that may include a sequel to Black Ops 2.
We brought Verdansk back for a reason. It wasn't just to bring it back for a season and kind of say goodbye to it again.
It was a nostalgic map that we loved and it's fun to play on, and so we just want to keep investing on it.
Look, I'll take it when Reddit says positive things about Warzone! That is an anomaly and I'm excited by it.
We recreated Verdansk to be the best experience possible. But then we didn't stop there. This is the starting point.
