Activision pushed back the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 by two weeks. Fans must wait until April 3rd instead of the earlier March 20th target date. This delay affects the highly anticipated comeback of the classic Verdansk map. Activision stated they need extra time to make sure players receive a quality experience when Season 3 launches.

The famous Verdansk map first appeared when Warzone started back in 2020. Many players expect this map will return as part of celebrations for the battle royale reaching its fifth year. Call of Duty joins other popular battle royale games that brought back original maps to boost player numbers. Both Fortnite and Apex Legends used similar strategies recently.

This schedule change comes after Call of Duty faced several challenges early this year. The game makers spent considerable time addressing widespread cheating problems reported by players. They also admitted to using AI-generated images within the game. Players criticized the company for selling an expensive separate Squid Game battle pass.

Chris Tapsell from Eurogamer reviewed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with mixed feelings. He mentioned that the game sticks to familiar formulas instead of taking creative risks. His review suggests that the approach reflects broader trends across video game companies in avoiding bold choices. The delay might give developers time to address some concerns before the next season begins.
