The Haunting of Verdansk May Be Returning to Call of Duty: Warzone in 2025
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 6 in 2020, The Haunting of Verdansk, quickly became a fan favourite. It featured a night-mode version of Verdansk, terrifying jump scares, limited-time zombie modes, and dark-themed Operator skins — all of which elevated Warzone’s seasonal events to new heights.
Since then, the event continued in some form, simply known as “The Haunting,” but it never quite recaptured the eerie charm of Verdansk. That’s mostly because the iconic map was removed in 2021, replaced by Caldera and later, other less-beloved maps like Al Mazrah and Vondel.
But now, Verdansk is back — and so might be its most beloved event.
Data Miners Hint at Halloween Return
According to reliable leaker @CODWarfareForum on X (formerly Twitter), assets related to The Haunting of Verdansk have started to appear in the game’s files. This strongly suggests that the event is being prepped for a return in October 2025, likely during Black Ops 6 Season 6, which many believe will be the final season of the game.
What to Expect: Zombie Royale & Night Mode?
While no official details have been confirmed, players are already speculating about which features might return:
-
Zombie Royale Mode – The popular LTM where eliminated Operators return as zombies.
-
Nighttime Verdansk – A haunting dark version of the classic map.
-
Scary Challenges & Unlocks – Including themed skins, emblems, and weapons.
-
Spooky In-Game Events – Expect jump scares, ghosts, and more immersive horror elements.
This return could bring back the magic of Warzone’s most memorable seasonal content, especially now that Verdansk is back in rotation.
Fan Fatigue from Recent Events
Interestingly, excitement around The Haunting’s return contrasts with recent community backlash toward other events. The High Art event, for example, was criticized for its overuse of cannabis-themed cosmetics. The controversial addition of Seth Rogen as a playable Operator. Players are hoping this Halloween event returns to what made Warzone feel fresh and exciting.
