As Call of Duty: Warzone enthusiasts know, Verdansk is where legends were born, and exciting new stories were crafted. The thrill amplifies with the anticipated return of Ranked Play to this iconic map.
For the first time, Warzone fans will experience Ranked Battle Royale on Verdansk, a setting that captivated audiences upon its launch in 2020. Previously, this competitive mode didn’t exist when Verdansk was last featured, prompting eager players to explore this new offering.
Warzone’s Ranked Battle Royale introduces various changes, including restrictions on certain weapons and equipment. Players will accumulate scores by achieving eliminations, securing high placements, and ultimately winning matches, contributing to a unique gaming experience that sets it apart from standard gameplay. While excitement runs high for Ranked matchmaking in Verdansk, it’s yet to become available.
Here’s everything you need to know about the arrival of Warzone’s Ranked Play in Verdansk.
Where is Ranked Play in Warzone?
Currently, Ranked Play in Warzone is offline as Season Three of Black Ops 6 has commenced, alongside the reintroduction of the original Verdansk map and classic weapons such as the Kilo 141, CR-56 AMAX, and HDR.
Activision, in collaboration with Raven Software, has confirmed that Ranked Play will return to Warzone and debut on Verdansk soon. This mode will support teams of three, mirroring Black Ops 6’s Ranked Play structure with skill divisions, skill ratings, unlockable rewards, and more.
But before this exciting mode can roll out, it needs to premiere on Verdansk, allowing 50 trios to drop in and compete for supremacy as they level up. This means a temporary downtime for Ranked Play in Battle Royale, but it’s only a brief moment before it re-emerges triumphantly.
When is Ranked Play Coming Back to Warzone?
Activision has confirmed that Warzone’s Ranked Play on Verdansk is expected to return mid-season. This will likely align with the Season Three Reloaded update, anticipated in early May, though an exact release date hasn’t been announced yet.
According to Activision, “The mode that never quite made it to Verdansk, Battle Royale Ranked Play is back in a significant way at mid-season! Squad up with your preferred trio and dominate over 49 other teams as 150-player Ranked Play arrives on Call of Duty: Warzone’s first Battle Royale map!”
Our best estimate for the return of Ranked Play (alongside the Season Three Reloaded launch) is around May 7 or 8, but it could potentially arrive as early as May 1. In the meantime, players can enjoy their time in Verdansk via solo, duo, trio, and quad matches or have some casual fun in Battle Royale Casual mode while gearing up for the highly-anticipated ranked mode in early May.
We expect to learn more about the timeline for the return of Ranked Play in Warzone BR around the end of April, potentially on April 23 or 30, when Activision is likely to release detailed information regarding upcoming updates, including blogs, screenshots, trailers, and additional insights about what to expect in both Warzone and BO6.
