Activision Blizzard recently released a trailer for the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 a few days ago. Setting off a chain reaction of speculation, the video has fans speculating that the Verdansk map will be making a return, among some other iconic Modern Warfare staples.
The new Call of Duty trailer reveals that Makarov will - again - be the next big villain for the franchise. However, while many gamers are focused on the character, eagle-eyed fans scanning the landscapes in the footage have spotted references to Verdansk.
Fans have quickly grabbed images from the notable moments in the trailer that points towards a return to the popular map from Warzone and 2019's Modern Warfare reboot. According to internet sleuths, one of the biggest giveaways that referenced Verdansk is a soccer logo found in the trailer.
Gamers are also pointing to the fiery remnants of a soccer stadium in the trailer, as the signage on the sports arena is the same one found on the Verdansk map. The Verdansk Sparks is the official team for the fictional city from Modern Warfare. While it would be entirely possible that the team owned another stadium elsewhere, the addition of the signage seems to be very intentional.
