Call of Duty leaks suggest rumored Ural Mountains map was actually made for Blackout ActivisionA leaked image has revealed our best look at the long-rumored Ural Mountains Warzone map, however, it comes from a now-scrapped project that planned to follow up Blackout. Now more than a year into the lifecycle of Warzone, players have been clamoring for any scrap of news regarding a brand new map. Early rumors pointed towards an enormous Ural Mountains location that would bump lobbies up to 250 players. More recent leaks suggest a simpler 1980s Verdansk makeover is coming instead. All eyes are fixated on the start of Season 3 as the current timeline is all set for a catastrophic finale. What comes after, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see. Though a new leak has just surfaced, revealing what could have been. Ural Mountains was indeed in the works, according to the leaks. However, it might not have been for Warzone; the newly revealed image showcased a giant \u2018Ural Map\u2019 featuring elements of Blackout\u2019s HUD, not Warzone\u2019s. https:\/\/twitter.com\/_Nanikos_\/status\/1378988998039769093 The supposed battle royale map tied together a number of diverse locations, including Black Ops Cold War\u2019s Sanatorium in the Fireteam playlist. Previous speculation hinted Ural Mountains would be Warzone\u2019s follow-up to Verdansk, though that doesn\u2019t appear to be the case. Instead, this leaked image could stem from a canceled version of \u201cBlackout 2,\u201d according to VGC reporter Andy Robinson. Prior to the release of Warzone, there was no guarantee it would be implemented in future annual releases. As a result, a new iteration of Treyarch\u2019s battle royale \u201cwas likely a thing for a while and plans changed.\u201d So while Ural Mountains was real at one point in time, there\u2019s no guarantee it\u2019ll ever see the light of day in Warzone. Perhaps certain elements will be copied over into a different build in the future, but a completely different map remains off the cards for now. An unfinished trailer recently spilled online, revealing an earlier version of Verdansk. The Stadium was under construction, the Dam was nowhere to be found, and lush forests were more prominent than ever. This potential refresh appears to take us back to the 1980s. As mentioned in the VGC podcast this week, there was no guarantee Cold War would support Warzone until after it took off. Blackout 2 was likely a thing for a while and plans changed \u2014 Andy Robinson (@Andy_VGC) April 5, 2021 Warzone Season 3 is all set to kick off on April 22. Therefore, we won\u2019t have to wait long to find out what Activision has in store for Verdansk. As Zombies continue flooding the map, a leaked Plague event should send us into new territory. We\u2019ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
