Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 3 rumored content

Currently, no official details have been revealed about Season 3 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone. However, various leaks and rumors have surfaced, generating excitement among fans.

The biggest rumor suggests that Verdansk, Warzone’s original and highly anticipated map, may return with Season 3. Verdansk debuted in 2020 and quickly became a fan favorite before being removed in December 2021.

Now, after three years, its return is reportedly imminent, though the exact timeline remains unclear. Reliable scooper @TheGhostOfHope has leaked that Verdansk will closely resemble its 2020 version, with a few key changes:

• The Train Station interior may be closed.
• The Stadium’s interior might be open, but the roof could remain closed.
• The train may return.
• The fast-travel subway system is rumored to be absent.

In addition to Verdansk, the same leaker has hinted at new weapons coming to Black Ops 6 and Warzone in Season 3. The Grau and HDR may be introduced, while the AMAX and Kilo could also make a return.

As for Black Ops 6 Zombies, speculation points to the release of DLC 3: Richtofen’s Mansion, which was teased in the Liberty Falls trailer. Clues from The Tomb’s final cutscene suggest that the crew must return to Liberty Falls to activate the Sentinel Artifact using exotic materials.

This strongly indicates that the next Zombies map could be the Mansion featured in the trailer, though it is unclear whether it will arrive in Season 3 or later.

Additionally, there is a strong possibility that the Wunderwaffe DG-2 will be introduced as the next Wonder Weapon, as Richtofen was seen wielding it in the trailer.
