Zombies Updates: Shattered Veil Brings Dark Challenges
Set to launch on April 2, 2025, the Shattered Veil map plunges Zombies players into the ominous Colton Hall, a sprawling estate steeped in mystery. The Main Quest offers exclusive rewards, including the ‘PhDeadly’ Carver Skin, an animated Calling Card, and 5,000 XP. Completing it before Directed Mode arrives unlocks a rare Calling Card variant.

This map introduces formidable enemies like the Elder Disciple, a sinister figure who boosts nearby zombies and summons minions, and Toxic Zombies, agile foes that burst into corrosive acid pools upon defeat. To counter these threats, players can unleash the Ray Gun Mark II, firing powerful three-round bursts with upgradeable options, or the iconic Wunderwaffe DG-2, frying enemies with electrifying chain lightning. According to a recent X post from the Call of Duty account, these weapons bring a fresh twist to the undead chaos. These additions demand teamwork and clever tactics, turning every round into a heart-pounding fight for survival.

Warzone Update: Verdansk’s Big Comeback
Warzone fans, get ready! Verdansk returns on April 3, 2025, following a 24-hour downtime starting April 2. This iconic map brings back 150-player lobbies, classic modes, Supply Boxes, and the original Buy Station menus. New coastal POIs and a launch event offering 20 free rewards sweeten the deal. Check the official announcement for more.
Verdansk’s revival stirs nostalgia, aiming to recapture Warzone’s early glory. A smooth launch could reignite the player base and solidify Call of Duty’s battle royale crown. But Activision’s under pressure. Server issues or bugs could sour the excitement, making this a pivotal moment for Warzone’s legacy.
