Experiencing downtime in your favorite online game can be frustrating, especially with Warzone. If you’re wondering why Warzone is currently offline and when it will return, we have all the essential details you need.
Why is Warzone Offline?
Recently announced during the COD Pod, Warzone is going offline for essential “preparation for the launch of Verdansk.” The upcoming Verdansk update promises a massive overhaul of the map along with thrilling new events. Given the extensive changes anticipated, it’s understandable that the game needs a brief hiatus to ensure optimal performance and a seamless gameplay experience post-launch.
While Warzone is down, there’s some good news. First, Black Ops 6 is offering a Free Trial period during this downtime, allowing you to explore premium Season 3 content at no charge. Experience new features like Zombies: Shattered Veil and the latest Multiplayer maps without needing to purchase BO6.
Additionally, players who log into Warzone while it’s offline will receive a complimentary weapon—the Kilo 141. This fan-favorite Assault Rifle is making a return just in time for Black Ops 6 Season 3, and players can also engage in camo challenges for the Kilo 141 across BO6 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone.
When Will Warzone Return Online?
According to the Call of Duty Blog, Warzone is expected to be offline for 24 hours. It will go live again on April 3, 2025, at 9 am PT/12 pm ET/4 pm GMT. You can monitor the countdown for the Verdansk launch in-game as the timer counts down.
As soon as Warzone comes back online, the Return to Verdansk event will kick off, allowing players to explore notable Points of Interest (POIs) and discover Hidden Safes. This event could grant you unique Operator skins from random drops. Additionally, look for exciting mid-season updates, including Verdansk Express, new game modes, and Battle Royale Verdansk Ranked Play.
