Moreover, Fortune Keep, another fan-favorite Resurgence map, is rumored to stay in Warzone and isn't expected to be replaced at all. The latest rumor only suggests that players may see yet another farewell of Rebirth Island once Area 99 gets revealed in Warzone Season 1 under CoD 2024 Black Ops 6.

For those unaware, Rebirth Island was first introduced way back in 2020 during the original Warzone era for the Resurgence mode. It was then removed from the battle royale game in late 2022 and didn't make an appearance until April 2024. Following an extended wait of fans who missed this popular area, it made a return to Warzone during Modern Warfare 3's Season 3 update.

As for Area 99, it's currently rumored to be a Resurgence map. Developers will share more details on it during the CoD Next event this month. The event is set to take place on August 28, 2024.

Coming back to the rumor, fans should take everything with a grain of salt right now, as nothing is officially confirmed. However, if the rumor is true, many Rebirth Island lovers might be left disappointed once again.
