The rumor that is spreading among Call of Duty: Warzone fans revolves around two of the newest maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The maps Ruka and Slope are both located on the Ural Mountains, but file sizes hint that this could be a small part of something much larger.

Rumors point towards the Ural Mountains as the new map location: Within the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Fireteam game mode where both Ruka and Slope take place. In the game files, the maps are listed as “wz_forest” and “wz_ski_slope.” Many players are assuming that the map code names are abbreviations for eventual Call of Duty: Warzone drop locations. To further this thought, the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Fireteam maps are substantially bigger than standard 6v6 arenas. They are designed to hose a 40-player game, and if combined could easily fit into a larger battle royale location.
The argument for the Ural Mountains is strengthened further as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Fireteam game mode uses several Warzone mechanics. From parachuting into the locale to pings, armor, looting, and downed states, the game mode seems almost perfect for a Call of Duty: Warzone conversion.
There are tons of connections between Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone since their initial integration. Weapons, scorestreaks, and vehicles could easily be shared between the titles, presenting a battle royale experience that is distinct and different from past arenas.
As of now, these are strictly rumors. Call of Duty: Warzone is rumored to have a massive update coming in March 2021 due to it being the one-year anniversary of the game’s launch. As far as new maps go, this would be an opportune window for a new world to be added to the Call of Duty: Warzone in-game map rotation.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
