The talk around Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s Season 3 is heating up like a hot drop in Verdansk! As player numbers dip, this season could be a game-changer for Activision. Let’s unpack what we know so far, including the possible return of our favorite Verdansk and some spicy Roze rumors.
The player counts tell an interesting story. Back in October and November 2025, Call of Duty was thriving, with over 300,000 players on Steam. Fast forward to now, and it’s barely managing to hold onto 100,000. Oof! Talk about a steep decline. Activision has to deliver something memorable for this upcoming season.
Mark those calendars! Based on the end date of the current Battle Pass for Season 2 Reloaded, Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 will kick off on March 20. That’s right! Every CoD release has followed a similar pattern when it comes to timing, even though mishaps can always throw a wrench into plans. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes!
Verdansk Likely to Return in Warzone & Black Ops 6 Season 3
The chatter about Verdansk returning is hitting a fever pitch! This news is likely what many fans have been waiting for forever, and guess what? Activision confirmed this juicy detail on August 28, 2024!
The official Call of Duty X account tweeted, “Run it back. Verdansk will return to Call of Duty Warzone in 2025.” There is no exact launch date yet, but all signs point towards its comeback during Season 3.

Season 3 Leaks
No roadmap yet means these details come from speculation, but are you ready? The infamous Roze skin and other classic Operators might also make their way back into our lives.
Suppose you have never had the pleasure (or displeasure) of encountering someone wearing that all-black military suit while playing. Lucky you! It became pretty infamous for blending into environments too well, a bit like having cheats enabled without actually cheating.
