Based on a new leak forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, a nuke event may be coming to Verdansk, explaining the upcomingWarzonechanges.
How deep the upcoming nuke event will be is unclear, though given the complexCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warreveal inWarzone, theCall of Dutydevelopers will likely do something special regarding the launching of the Verdansk nuke. Added back during theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warreveal, the nuke has remained in Verdansk, sitting safe and un-launched.

Posted by a Twitter account going by the name Call of Duty Leaks, two datamined cosmetics seem to point to the launching of the nuke alongside the return of a fan favorite Blackout location. While most of the previouslyleaked cosmetics forBlack Ops Cold Warwill surely be unlocked via the Season 1 Battle Pass, this emblem and calling card may be awarded to those participating in the supposedWarzonenuke event.
The emblem showcases a creative design for the Soviet Union’s iconic hammer and sickle flag, with the sickle being remade to show a missile launching — something that could be a nod toWarzone’s nuke. WithCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s campaignproviding the perfect storyline explanation for such a nuke to go off, as Operation Greenlight saw nuclear bombs hidden around the world, the emblem seems like a major hint toward the rumored event happening.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s nuke event is expected to change the map drastically if it happens, kicking offCall of Duty:Warzone’s new era with a bang. While numerous locations have been datamined and discussed, none have been as tantalizing as the island that is supposedly coming toWarzone. Gamers have theorized thatthe leakedCall of Duty:Warzoneislandwould be Alcatraz from Blackout, and it seems like this calling card confirms the prison’s arrival. Showing Alcatraz in clear detail, the cosmetic item all but confirms that the area will arrive following the nuke event.
While Alcatraz may be arriving too late to raiseBlack Ops Cold War’s Metacritic score, it should still be a welcome addition to those enjoying the game. With visual evidence of this new location and a nuke event on the way, the next few weeks are going to be interesting forCall of Dutyfans.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
