Vondel is the name of the new map that’s coming to Warzone 2 very soon. It was originally mentioned in a leak by Task Force Leakers in April, and again by CharlieIntel in May via a now-deleted image.

Now, it’s been confirmed and it’s officially set to arrive in season four. Here’s everything we know so far about the new location coming to Call of Duty.

Warzone’s Vondel map, explained

Vondel is the name of the new Resurgence map coming to Warzone. Rather than being a battle royale map that will replace or run alongside Al Mazrah, it’s only going to be playable in Resurgence and DMZ at launch.

Activision says Vondel has 15 points of interest, “including a medieval Castle dating back to Saxon times, an abandoned Zoo, a Greek Revival–styled City Hall, and a soccer Stadium currently set up for an epic paintball tournament final.”

“Size-wise, Vondel’s geographical footprint is between Al Mazrah and Ashika Island, welcoming up to 18 Operators for DMZ and 72 Operators for Resurgence game modes,” Activision said. “Expect a mixture of densely-packed urban streets and canals, larger structures to fully explore (inside and out), a large degree of verticality and the means to counter those that take advantage of it, including parkour routes and numerous secrets to discover.”

The new map has been developed by Beenox, the main developers behind Call of Duty on PC for the past few years. It’s a mid-sized map and will also feature something new called dynamic fog.

“Especially during Resurgence and Battle Royale modes, Vondel’s usual weather is sunny with very few clouds — if any — in the sky,” Activision said. “However, there is the possibility of fog rolling in due to the marine layer. Typically, it is light enough to still see your opposition, except at extremely long ranges. However, in rare instances, the fog will have density to the level shown in the screenshot above. If this level of fog rolls in, it may be wise tactically to reevaluate combat, seek weapon optics to circumvent the weather, or head indoors, giving yourself optimal combat opportunities.”

Vondel will also feature new vehicles, like the Tactical Amphibious Vehicle that can drive on land and through rivers, and several unique public events.
