Call of Duty Insider Teases Next Warzone Battle Royale Map
It has only been a week since Rebirth Island was introduced to Call of Duty: Warzone, and information regarding the game’s next map seems to have already leaked. The information comes from Call of Duty insider named ModernWarzone, who suggests that Warzone’s next map will be set in the Ural Mountains of Russia.
ModernWarzone took to Twitter to post a screenshot of a crude map with the names of several locations written out. Some of these sections also include a screenshot of how the area will look in-game. They include ski slopes, a sanatorium, and even a zoo. ModernWarzone said the new information is based on their last six months of reporting, and added that the evidence points to the new map being located in the Ural Mountains.
The real-life Ural Mountains are a mountain range that run from north to south through western Russia. In the Call of Duty universe, the mountains are the location of a Soviet nuclear bunker in Mount Yamantau, seen in the original Black Ops campaign and in the recent Black Ops Cold War. However, there is no indication that the bunker is located on ModernWarzone’s leaked map.
If the leak is authentic, it opens up new possibilities for Warzone. Perhaps one of the most interesting implications is what the inclusion of a zoo on the map could mean. There have never been animals on a Call of Duty map, unless you count Tomogunchi pets, but a zoo seems to hint that there is at least a slight possibility that animals may exist on the new map, perhaps to prey on unsuspecting players. The Sanatorium screenshot also reveals a waterfront, and the map appears to have a lake, suggesting that there may be pilotable boats.
Of course, none of the new information has been verified, so ModernWarzone's leak should be taken with a grain of salt. Even if ModernWarzone is right, what was included in the leak could potentially be changed before the final map is officially revealed. Until then, Warzone players who would like to keep playing on a large open map can still play on Verdansk.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
