Following Rebirth Island, Fortune’s Keep, and Caldera, Ashika Island would be the fourth island map designed for Warzone and Warzone 2. Rebirth Island was one of two maps created after the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in 2020, along with Verdansk ’84, both of which focused on the Cold War setting and chronology. Fortune’s Keep and Caldera, on the other hand, draw inspiration from World War II, since the maps were launched after the debut of the World War II-era game Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Players might argue that given the tradition of Warzone’s maps adopting cues from that year’s Call of Duty games, it would not be odd to see Ashika Island continue it with a present-day design. An argument may also be made that the map will be smaller to better handle Resurgence, given the mode has a matching maximum of 50 players. However, until the map is released on January 31, gamers will only be able to speculate.
