Good news, fans! The Rebirth Island is back inย Warzone! We knew this was coming since its announcement at the Call of Dutyย Next event back in 2023, but it wasn’t confirmed as to which season will be receiving the content. With a brand new trailer, however, we are looking at a slightly different-looking Rebirth Island return in Warzone Season 3.
For old fans ofย Call of Duty, Rebirth Island was first introduced in Black Ops 1 in 2010, as a part of a story mission called the “Rebirth.” This is where Victor Reznov/Alex Mason kills Frederick Steiner for good. And 10 years later we see the map return inย Warzone.
Rebirth Island was added alongside Verdansk as a tactical map, introducing the Resurgence game mode for those who like a more chaotic experience in the battle royale game. The map was in Warzoneย for more than two years, reimagined inย Black Ops Cold Warย andย Vanguard. However, the new iteration of the map looks more similar to the one from theย MW 2019ย era, tying the story to theย MW3ย timeline.
First, we get to see the map the way it looked before from a bird’s-eye view. But, as the trailer goes on, we get to see Makarov, the current villain of theย Modern Warfareย games get introduced into the mix. In addition, Rebirth Island gets damaged inย Warzone. Makarov goes inside the Rebirth’s prison POI, and then the roof gets blown and a car drives in.
Another big change that happens to the Warzone Rebirth Island map in this Season 3 trailer is that the lighthouse POI also gets destroyed by an airstrike. Makarov is behind the story of this season, and seemingly he’s trying to save a comrade from the prison, destroying a part of the map in the process.
For what it’s worth, Rebirth Island is returning toย Warzoneย in Season 3, and we get to deploy on this map on April 3. We’ll probably receive another trailer showing the story behind this occurrence on the map as we get closer to the release. Lastly though, the Resurgence Ranked Play may shift to Rebirth Island, allowing Fortune’s Keep to be in the normal playlist maps’ rotation.
