Highlights

  • Call of Duty: Warzone will be adding the powerful Specialist Bonus perk, giving players a major advantage over enemies.
  • Two fan-favorite maps, Fortune's Keep and Rebirth Island, will be returning to Warzone in 2024, with Fortune's Keep expected to be added in the early months.
  • There are rumors that Verdansk will be returning to Warzone in late 2024, with the new Call of Duty game rumored to be titled Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War and set in the early 90s.

Call of Duty: Warzone teased the return of the powerful Specialist Bonus perk while also teasing the return of a popular map. Raven Software has made it clear that Call of Duty: Warzone will see plenty of exciting additions in 2024.

Raven previously announced that the two fan-favorite maps of Fortune's Keep and Rebirth Island would return to Warzone in 2024. Fortune's Keep is planned to be added in early 2024, while Rebirth Island is slated for a later release. Both maps are smaller than the typical, mainline Warzone maps and feature reduced player counts. Raven has yet to confirm a release date for Fortune's Keep, but "early 2024" seems to suggest that it should be added within the next couple of months. Alongside these future additions, Raven unveiled another returning feature.

Call of Duty Brings Back Controversial 'Groot' Skin, But With a Twist

Call of Duty adds a modified version of the 'evil Groot' skin, a.k.a. the Gaia skin, back to the game alongside the Season 1 Reloaded update.

Raven posted an image to its Twitter account that shows a new perk package lying on the ground in the returning Rebirth Island map, with the perk showing the same symbol as the Specialist Bonus perk, which seems to be a clear hint towards its eventual return. The Specialist Bonus perk was an extremely powerful and rare perk that could only be obtained from looting before it was removed from Warzone. Once equipped, it gave the user every perk in the game at once. This would allow Warzone fans to stack all of the game's best perks together, creating a massive advantage over enemies. It seems likely that once it's re-added, the Specialist Bonus perk will be quite rare like it was during its last appearance in Warzone. Raven did not offer a timeline for when this perk would be added to the game, but an early 2024 re-introduction could be possible.

Additions Coming to Warzone in 2024

  • Specialist Bonus perk
  • Fortune's Keep
  • Rebirth Island

Fans of the popular battle royale's early days might also be excited to learn that Verdansk seems to be returning to Warzone in late 2024. According to leaks, Verdansk will be added during Season 1 of 2024's Call of Duty, which is rumored to be titled Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War is rumored to take place in the early 90s during the Gulf War conflict, with its single-player mode focusing on the CIA's involvement in the theater. Some fans have rather high hopes for the release of 2024's Call of Duty, as it will be the most time Treyarch has ever spent developing one of its Black Ops titles.
