Rebirth Island And Fortune’s Keep Are Returning To ‘Warzone’

In a surprise announcement during today’s #CODNext livestream, Activision announced the return of two fan-favorite maps to Warzone.

The livestream primarily focused on Modern Warfare III gameplay (which I have some concerns about) as well as Zombies and a brand-new Warzone map which looks excellent.

It was also revealed that both Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep would make their way to Warzone in 2024. The original Rebirth Island was actually a Blackout map, which Treyarch introduced alongside the frenetic, fast-paced Resurgence mode back in the Black Ops IIII days. (I miss Blackout!)

It was reborn (heh) in Warzone and then followed up with the larger, but still fantastic, Fortune’s Keep not long before Activision shut Warzone down and replaced it with Warzone 2.0 (which is now just Warzone again).

Since then we’ve seen Ashika Island—a decent but flawed Resurgence map—and the excellent Vondel map added. In 2024, these maps will expand to four total. Hopefully we’ll get Resurgence mini mode on the big map, Urzikstan, as well.

We don’t know when the maps will return and won’t have new info until 2024, but this is good news. It’s not surprising news, however. The addition of a cycling Resurgence map-timer signaled that more maps were on the way, and I suspected remasters of both Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep would arrive sooner than later.
