When does Warzone 2's new Resurgence map Ashika Island go live?

Call of Duty recently unveiled Warzone 2's new Resurgence map called Ashika Island. The map was revealed on January 30, 2023, ahead of the Season 2 launch. The island has many interesting areas, including the castle with a secret chamber and an underground waterway.

Resurgence maps are usually smaller than the main battle royale map, Al Mazrah. Unlike the typical battle royale, Resurgence allows for fast and intense combat. Moreover, players in this mode get auto respawns until the end circle when it is disabled.

Since players don't have to be dependent on their teammates for revival, most solo players usually prefer this mode over the battle royale. Although Resurgence was absent in Warzone 2 in Season 1, it will return in the upcoming Season.

What more to expect in Warzone 2 Season 2?

Apart from adding the Resurgence mode, Season 2 will be dropping with many changes. Most of these updates pertain to the battle royale game. Some of the highlights of the upcoming patch are:

1) Customizable perk packages will return. Currently, users can only pick one out of the eight preset perk packages. In Season 2, players can customize these packages according to their preferences and playstyle.

2) Loadout drops will now spawn in the first and fifth circles of the battle royale mode. Players will now be able to buy Loadout drop markers, just like in Warzone 2, allowing them to earn their loadouts early in the game.

3) Cash loot will be a massive increment. Previously, the lowest denomination of cash found in the game was $100. However, in Season 2, the minimum one can loot from the ground will be $800 and $500 from the cash registers.

4) Similar to the original Warzone, loot will drop on the group when a crate is opened, or an enemy is eliminated in the upcoming Season. Players won't have to go through their backpacks to acquire the required gear.
