Warzone Season 1 adds two new maps: Zodiac, a Resurgence map built by Beenox with a moving train, and Hajin, a Battle Royale map that reuses MW4’s DMZ layout under BR rules. They join the returning Verdansk (big-map BR) and Rebirth Island (Resurgence), and DMZ gets a new map of its own, X01. Zodiac is the one with firm official backing; Hajin is widely reported but was not formally itemised before launch. Season 1 goes live 6 November 2026.
Here is the full Warzone Season 1 map pool: what each map is, how the Resurgence and Battle Royale rotations shake out, and how the MW4 integration changes the mode. Details are from Activision’s CoD NEXT blog and launch coverage (Dexerto, dot esports, bestloadout), as of 2 November 2026; some specifics were still pre-launch.

Zodiac’s train is the real new idea
Most new Warzone maps are just new geography. Zodiac’s signature is a moving train that cuts across the map — Activision’s CoD NEXT blog calls it “one particularly tactical addition.” A train changes Resurgence in a way a static map can’t: it’s a mobile high-value POI, a rotation tool, and a third-party magnet all at once, forcing teams to decide whether to contest it or let it pass. Resurgence has always been about fast, repeated engagements on a small map; a moving objective layered on top is the kind of dynamic element the mode hasn’t really had before, and it’s why Zodiac — not the reported Hajin — is the headline map of the season.
The maps in detail
What each map brings to the Season 1 rotation.
🚃
Zodiac
Resurgence · new
Beenox-built Resurgence map whose moving train acts as a mobile POI and rotation path. Officially confirmed, it’s the season’s standout — fast respawn-based play with a dynamic objective most small maps lack.
#1
🌍
Hajin
Battle Royale · new
Reported as the new big-map BR, reusing MW4’s DMZ layout under battle royale rules — so DMZ regulars will already know its POIs. Strongly reported rather than officially itemised, so treat the name as provisional.
Reported
🏢
Verdansk
Battle Royale · returning
The original Warzone big map stays in the Season 1 rotation as the alternate BR, so you’re not forced onto Hajin for large-lobby play. A known quantity for veterans and the safe pick for classic BR.
Returning
🏝️
Rebirth Island
Resurgence · returning
Warzone’s most popular small map returns alongside Zodiac, giving the mode two Resurgence options. Rebirth’s tight, well-known layout is the comfort pick if you’d rather master a map than learn Zodiac’s train.
Returning
The Warzone Season 1 map pool, by mode and status.
Season 1 gives each mode a clean two-map pool, which is worth knowing before you queue. On the Resurgence side you get Zodiac (new, with the train) and Rebirth Island (returning) — fast, small-map play with respawns, ideal for shorter sessions and gunfight practice. On the Battle Royale side you get the reported Hajin (new) and Verdansk (returning) — large-lobby, single-life play for the classic Warzone experience. If you’re new to the season, start on Rebirth or Verdansk (maps you likely already know) to settle into the integration, then branch to Zodiac for the train mechanic and Hajin once you’ve learned its DMZ-derived POIs. DMZ players have their own new map in X01, separate from the Warzone pool.
What the integration changes
The maps arrive as part of the broader Warzone integration, which is the structural story of Season 1. From launch, Warzone shares seasonal progression with MW4: the same 100-tier battle pass pays out across both, so the Cronen Osprey you unlock at tier 16 and the CSG-35 at tier 36 are usable on every one of these maps. Warzone stays free-to-play. The one hard change is platform: PS4 and Xbox One Warzone support ends with the Season 1 update, so the new map pool is a current-gen (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) and PC experience. If you’re returning to Warzone for the new maps, that’s the detail to check first.

Quick verdict
Warzone Season 1 (6 November 2026) adds Zodiac, a confirmed Beenox Resurgence map with a moving train, and the reported Hajin BR map built on MW4’s DMZ layout, alongside returning Verdansk (BR) and Rebirth Island (Resurgence); DMZ gets the new X01. That’s two Resurgence maps and two BR maps. The maps ship with the MW4 integration and shared battle pass, Warzone stays free-to-play, and PS4/Xbox One support ends with the update.
Warzone Season 1 maps FAQ
What are the new Warzone Season 1 maps?
Zodiac, a Beenox-built Resurgence map with a moving train (officially confirmed), and Hajin, a Battle Royale map reusing MW4’s DMZ layout (reported). Verdansk and Rebirth Island return, and DMZ gets the new X01 map.
Is Zodiac confirmed?
Yes — Zodiac is officially confirmed in Activision’s CoD NEXT blog as a Beenox-built Resurgence map, with a moving train called out as a key tactical feature. Hajin, by contrast, is strongly reported but was not formally itemised before launch.
Is Verdansk still in Warzone?
Yes. Verdansk remains the returning big Battle Royale map in the Season 1 rotation, alongside the reported new Hajin, so you have two large-map options.
How many maps are in Warzone Season 1?
Four in the main Warzone pool — two Resurgence (Zodiac, Rebirth Island) and two Battle Royale (Hajin, Verdansk) — plus the new X01 map for DMZ.
Can I play the new maps on PS4 or Xbox One?
No. PS4 and Xbox One Warzone support ends with the Season 1 update on 6 November 2026, so the new maps are a current-gen (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) and PC experience.
Details are as of 2 November 2026, from Activision’s CoD NEXT blog and launch coverage (Dexerto, dot esports, bestloadout). Zodiac is officially confirmed; Hajin was strongly reported but not formally itemised pre-launch, so its name and layout are provisional. We update this as Activision confirms the full pool.
