Ever since the release of Call of Duty Warzone, players have only faced each other on Verdansk and Rebirth Island. In contrast to that, Apex Legends offers three maps to its players while Fortnite introduces map changes with every new season. Naturally, Warzone patrons now expect Infinity Ward to release a new battleground too.

The new Warzone map will most probably be based on the Ural Mountains in Russia, and will comprise all the Fireteam mode maps from Black Ops Cold War. Hence, it wouldn’t be a surprise if we witness POIs like Alpine, Golova, Ruka, and Sanatorium in Warzone.
