A rumor claims that a new Resurgence map is currently in development for Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and it may arrive sooner rather than later.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 could be getting a new Resurgence map sooner rather than later according to one interesting rumor. Leaks surrounding the start of Call of Duty: Warzone 2’s second season have raised a number of eyebrows, especially due to the revelation of the return of Call of Duty: World at War’s Castle map. The Season 2 and Castle leaks may have revealed more than Call of Duty players first realized, though.
In early December, the key art for Call of Duty: Warzone 2’s second season leaked. The image, like previous Call of Duty: Warzone seasons’ key art, revealed a new Operator and new weapons. It also revealed the Castle map in its background, with many believing it was a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 6v6 map since it shares seasons with Warzone. Castle is styled after historical Japanese architecture, making it visually unique.
But a new report from Insider Gaming indicates Castle may be featured differently, included as part of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Season 2. Insider Gaming has been told from two different sources that Castle will be a part of a new Resurgence map released with Season 2. The report, however, is treated as a rumor, with Insider Gaming unwilling to say the report is accurate without further reporting on the subject. It’s nevertheless an interesting possibility for Warzone 2’s next update.
I think castle is on the resurgence map and it’s gonna be used as a ground war map instead of 6v6 🤔 pic.twitter.com/Pi9QYA2NvM

This isn’t the first time that Castle being associated with a new Resurgence map has been mentioned, of course. Players within the Warzone 2 community have speculated about the subject substantially over the past month. A leaked map also tied to Warzone 2 placed Castle within what appeared to be a small Japanese island, what could be a Rebirth Island reboot. The map, and the speculation, have lacked confirmation, though.
It’s reaching a point where between the rumors, leaks, and now multiple sources confirming prior reporting, it would be a big surprise if a new Resurgence map wasn’t part of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, with or without Castle. Plans can change and leaks can be misinterpreted, though. Anything’s possible, but Warzone 2 players should probably feel confident in their expectations for Resurgence’s return.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players can expect plenty of content from Season 2, whether they care about Resurgence or not. Resurgence was a very popular addition in the original Warzone, with Rebirth Island offering a unique experience separate from the standard battle royale. With an expected launch early in February, plenty of official Season 2 announcements could come throughout January.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
