Warzone fans might need to hold on to their seats as Rebirth Island is officially returning. Following the removal of the fan-favorite Resurgence map last year, Activision remained tight-lipped about their plans, and players were wondering if the best map in the game had disappeared forever. However, during the Call of Duty Next event, Activision officially announced that both Rebirth and another old Resurgence map called Fortune's Keep would be making a return.
Read on for more information on the return of Rebirth Island.
When will Rebirth Island come back to Warzone?
According to Activision, the Rebirth Island is officially returning in 2024. While they have not specified any release date yet, it can be assumed that the map will come in mid-2024. Another map, Fortune's Keep, is scheduled to be released in early 2024 (most likely in February), with the possible Season 2 update of MW3 and Warzone.
First introduced on December 16, 2020, Rebirth Island, or the newer version of the Alcatraz map, was a part of the Black Ops Cold War integration with Warzone. The map became an immediate favorite as players fell in love with the close-range gunfights and the quick matches.
However, after being there for almost two years, Activision pulled the map out forever, and until today, its future was shrouded in secrecy. Finally, new information has come to light, confirming its return.
Call of Duty also added a new resurgence map in 2022 called Fortune's Keep. It was part of the Vanguard integration and replaced the OG Rebirth. However, just as the map was gaining popularity, it was removed from the game.
With the completely revamped Warzone in 2022, fans thought they'd never see these two maps in the battle royale ever again. However, it now seems like they need to wait a bit longer to hop into their favorite places. For more information, stay tuned to Sportskeeda's Call of Duty section.
