A Call of Duty: Warzone player has found proof of the map's current shift hidden in a popular location. While it has long been rumored that Call of Duty: Warzone is headed to the 1980s, this may be the first solid piece of in-game evidence that points toward validating this idea. Despite confirmation of the Call of Duty: Warzone nuke event, there are still many unknowns about what will come to the game after the bombs drop.
Many leaks suggest that Call of Duty: Warzone's new map will take players into the 1980s. While this has not been confirmed, subtle updates to in-game locations seem to be hinting at a similar fate. The developers have kept their plans hidden, but the community is perceptive to small changes across the game.

On Reddit, ArabNinja1233 noticed a small detail in the update that changed Call of Duty: Warzone's Superstore. Some of the in-game promotional material has shifted, presenting a new round of rumors. In this case, a promotional banner that once advertised Verdansk's sporting events now bears the date 1980. While the Superstore bear is still present, the advertisement shift presents an interesting theory as to the future of Verdansk. Fans believe more memorabilia is scattered across the game, just waiting for the community to discover the small hints.
The current community belief is that the Call of Duty: Warzone nuke event will update the map into a new form. If it does travel back in time to the 1980s, it would make sense for the game to start advertising 1980s-themed events throughout the world. Call of Duty: Warzone developers are prone to subtle teasers, and this could be one nod to the current community theory.
Fans are concerned as to what extent the 1980s shift will reach. While Call of Duty: Warzone will be changing, some believe Call of Duty: Modern Warfare may eventually be cycled out entirely. While the idea of a continuingly evolving Call of Duty sounds good in theory, a certain sect of fans feel Warzone may not be changing for the better.
Until the nukes hit, everything is left to speculation. Call of Duty: Warzone leaks are being suppressed, and developers seem keen on surprising the community with a variety of changes. Fans are waiting for the day that the nukes finally launch, and answers become clear regarding the future in Verdansk.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
