Latest Warzone 2 Vondel Map Leaks Suggest a Major Rebrand Is Coming in Season 4
An emergent image, reportedly showing a first glimpse of Warzone 2’s Vondel battle royale map, has also pointed to a major name change and rebranding of Warzone 2.0 – just 6 or so months after it released.
It probably won’t be news to you thatWarzone 2 Season 4is set to bring anew battle royale environment called Vondel. We’ve known for a while it will be set in the Netherlands and developed by support studio Beenox. It promises a new environment on Al Mazrah’s scale but, hopefully, more in the way of traditional WZ fun.
Now, an emergent image, advertising an upcoming song by Dutch DJ Oliver Heldens, appears to give us a glimpse of the map itselfandpoint to a major Warzone rebranding with Season 4.
Warzone 2 Vondel Map First Look
The image, shared toRedditafter it surfaced from Dutch record label Spinnin’ Records, advertises an upcoming song by Heldens called ‘Sounds of Vondel’. It is set to release on July 29, 2025, just two days ahead of Warzone 2 Season 4.
In the image’s background, there is a clearly discernible suburban area, which many believe to be our first proper look at Vondel. In fact, eagle-eyed players have matched areas to previously leaked photos, further adding to excitement about its accuracy.
Interestingly, the Warzone logo attached to the image is also different to the ‘Warzone 2.0’ logo that has become the symbol of the battle royale sequel.
This has fuelled speculation, seemingly confirmed by reputable insidersCharlieIntelon June 6, that Warzone 2.0 will be rebranded and renamed as just ‘Call of Duty: Warzone’ once again. That’s the name its predecessor had for its entire life-cycle.
Crazy that just 6 months after launch, Activision will drop the 2.0 from Warzone and just call it Warzone. Should’ve always just been Warzone from the start…2.0 did not do anything.pic.twitter.com/KFNDXm7AYC
It’s certainly a surprising development; Warzone 2.0 only released back in November of 2022 and, just over 6 months later, it’s allegedly being rebranded and renamed. All reports indicate that it’s not been as popular as Activision hoped and wecertainly haven’t enjoyed it as much as the first battle royale.
A lot of fans mocked the changes, taking it as confirmation that the BR sequel has been a let down. Oneplayercommented: “They lost the original community. No reason to say 2.0 anymore.”Anothersaid echoed the sentiment, saying: “That’s cause it wasn’t a “2.0” product. It was more of a “0.5” product at launch”.
Here’s hoping that Warzone2.0can get back on track with Season 4. We’ll have everything from the new season covered right here on Twinfinite. In the meantime, peruse the related content below for all you need to know.
