Everything to know about Warzone 2’s new Resurgence map, Ashika Island

Fans of Call of Duty: Warzone’s Resurgence mode have been left parachuting in the wind without a map to land on since November.

When Warzone 2 launched, Warzone 1 was taken offline for two weeks. Once it returned as Warzone Caldera, the game’s two Resurgence maps were nowhere to be found. Resurgence was not in the new game at all at launch, either.

Players who enjoy Resurgence as a warm-up for battle royale, a mode for leveling weapons, or as their preferred game type entirely may continue to miss Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep for a long time coming. But something new is about to shake up the CoD universe.

In Resurgence, players drop into a map and loot up to slay enemies in a mode that’s something like a hybrid between battle royale and Team Deathmatch. Players can respawn as long as their teammates survive the Resurgence countdown, which increases in length with each successive death.

Resurgence is finally returning to Warzone by making its first appearance in Warzone 2. The new map is called Ashika Island and we know a little bit about it ahead of its reveal.

Here’s all you need to know about Warzone 2’s new Resurgence map.

New Warzone 2 Resurgence map release date

Warzone 2’s new Resurgence map, Ashika Island, will release on Feb. 15.

It was first teased on Jan. 30 before the official tac map reveal on Jan. 31, and more information about the map and season two of Warzone 2 is expected in a new blog post on Feb. 8.

On Jan. 31, Activision revealed a bunch of first looks at the map, which is a gorgeous location with overcast skies, cherry blossom trees, and a castle in the central area of the map.

The map also includes an underground waterway area, several buildings, and wide open spaces for players to explore and hunt down enemies. The tropical locale looks rife for fun for Resurgence’s 40-player count lobbies.

The full list of named points of interest on Ashika Island are as follows:

• Tsuki Castle
• Oganikku Farms
• Residential
• Shipwreck
• Port Ashika
• Beach Club
• Town Center

New Warzone 2 Resurgence map leak

An overhead tac map of a purported Warzone 2 Resurgence map originally leaked in December 2022. The image was swiftly taken down due to copyright claims from Activision, leading many to believe it was real. And in the end, they were right.

The leak ended up being real, although the orientation of the island has shifted. In the leak, the Town Center POI was on the southern edge of the location. Now, it’s to the west, with Port Ashika taking up the southeastern portion.
