Warzone player is recreating Verdansk in Minecraft and it looks perfect

A fan of Call of Duty: Warzone has revealed they miss the original BR map Verdansk so much they have started to recreate it in Minecraft.

The original Verdansk map will likely hold a special place in the hearts of Warzone players. It was the environment the incredibly popular battle royale launched with, featuring in all modes until it was replaced by Caldera in Warzone Pacific.

Based on real-life locations in Ukraine,the map seemed to find the perfect balance between slower, open areas and chaotic fast-paced environments where carnage ruled.

When it was usurped by Caldera in December 2021, Activision appeared to rule out it returning in any capacity, but have now hinted that itcould return in 2023 in Warzone 2.0.

Redditor ‘Miffydsi‘ revealed in a 1 December post that they have begun to recreate the environment in Mojang’s Minecraft, spending hours rendering buildings, terrain, and more in a similar way.

They said: “When you miss Verdansk and decide to start creating it in Minecraft. There is ALOT that needs to be changed still. The map is nowhere near being finished but I like how it’s coming out so far.”

The in-progress build looks impressive, but recreating the large map will take hours of effort and refinement.
