Activision Blizzard has revealed details of their newest map to be added to Call of Duty. Ashika Island will be added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 as a part of Season 2. Ashika Island has been shown off in their latest trailer. Here’s everything you need to know. 

Resurgence Mode back in CoD: MWII and Warzone 2.0

The Ashika Island map will mark the return of the Resurgence Mode to Call of Duty’s Warzone. The Resurgence Mode takes place in a smaller map, this time the Ashika Island, which allows players to engage with their enemies faster. Also, once knocked out, you respawn in the map if your squad-mates are alive, so you don’t need to fight it out in the Gulag either.     

New map Ashika Island - Details

Warzone 2.0 introduces a new location with Warzone 2.0, the Ashika Island and they provided a deep dive on February 1. The “Isle of the Sea Lion”, the Ashika Island is located in an unknown location in the Asia Pacific region. The context here, as per the “intel” received, is that the island is being used as a hub for the “transportation of chemical and biological weapons” by the Ultranationalist Konni Group. The island has been a conflict zone since its development as a tourist destination stopped midway in the 1990s. The Shadow Company is now slowly taking over the island from the Konni Group, but they continue to be a menace in the area. 

The various locations that we’ve been introduced to include the following-

• Oganikku Frams
• Town Center
• Beach Club
• Tsuki Castle
• Port Ashika
• Residential
• Shipwreck
