Here you can find all information you need to know about the new Warzone map “Urzikstan”, including its expected release date and the full tac-map. So if you’re interested in the next Battle Royale map coming to Call of Duty, keep reading.
We’ve already been shown the new Warzone map coming with MW3: Urzikstan. This is a big map that will be used for both Warzone and Zombies.
We’ve actually been to Urzikstan many times in recent CoD lore. The fictional country of Urzikstan is located where Georgia is in real life, east of the Black Sea and just south of Russia. However, the creatives behind the Call of Duty story have been very liberal with their portrayal of Urzikstan in the past; sometimes it really does feel like a country neighboring Russia, but in a lot of other games they’re clearly using Urzikstan as an analogue for Syria. They use it for whatever they need at the time, and this time they need it to look like Verdansk.
In this article, you can check out all the info we’ve been shown about the new Warzone map Urzikstan. Check back regularly if you don’t want to miss anything.
New Warzone Map Urzikstan: Expected Release Date
The new Warzone map Urzikstan should be released on Wednesday, December 6 at 9 am PT (12 pm ET / 5 pm GMT / 6 pm CET). This is when Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 is expected to begin, and we usually get the new big map each year with the first season of the new game, since that is when MW3 will be integrated into Warzone.
There is a small chance they launch Season 1 exactly one week later on December 13, but that’s the only alternative to this date and time that we can imagine.

Urzikstan Gulags: Different Versions Of The Same Map
There will be one Gulag map in Urzikstan, but there will be different versions of it that you can potentially get. Here they are:
- Standard Gulag: Start with two random weapons and grenades.
- Locked & Loaded: Start with an SMG, an AR, full plates and grenades.
- Night Mode: In this version of the Gulag it’s dark and you are using night vision.
There is one new Gulag rule that applies to all versions: if it reaches overtime then instead of a flag appearing in the middle of the map, a zip-line that goes straight up appears in the middle of the map instead. To win you have to kill your opponent or ascend out of the Gulag via the zip-line.
This is a better idea than last year’s Gulag, we can all agree.
