CoD: Warzone 2 Ashika Island Map Revealed

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is getting new exciting content in Season 2, and the major update will come with the brand-new Ashika Island map. The full map was revealed on January 31, with close-ups of a few points of interest being shared in a series of tweets.

Ashika Island is a smaller, secondary map designed for Warzone 2’s Resurgence respawn modes and DMZ. Ashika Island comes with seven main points of interest, and while it’s hard to determine just from the overhead layout, the map size should be similar to past Resurgence maps of Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep.

One notable point of interest contains Treyarch’s Castle map, which was originally featured in Call of Duty: World at War and was remastered for a return in Vanguard. Rebranded as Tsuki Castle, players will discover the classic place at the center of Ashika Island.

Additionally, the Town Center area features an abundance of cover with clusters of shops in the marketplace, while there’s some sand and open sightlines for the Beach Club point of interest. Players should be able to take benefit of Modern Warfare 2’s swimming mechanics, as there are a bunch of areas with water, such as the flooded caverns of the Underground Waterway.

Season 2 will come out on February 15 for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. In addition to Ashika Island, players can expect DMZ mode to get wiped for a fresh beginning, a traditional 1v1 Gulag for the Al Mazrah map, a bunch of quality-of-life modifications, and more.

On the multiplayer side, Call of Duty’s Hardcore multiplayer mode is coming in Modern Warfare 2. Ranked Play is also going to be launched for those looking for a more competitive mode.
