Activision Releases Call of Duty Caldera Map in Open Source
Activision has officially made the Caldera map in Call of Duty available for non-commercial use, making the announcement on Wednesday that the release of an open-source data set featuring Call of Duty: Warzone’s Caldera map is available.
The set, as described by the company, contains “the near-complete geometry of Caldera as well as a collection of randomly selected anonymized time samples showing how players move around the map.”
The move is aimed at empowering developers and educators and to also assist in AI training in which the company believes can lead to “more intelligent systems, paving the way for the next generation of gaming and simulation technologies.”
“The map’s geometry data is approximately 4 GB but is comprised of more than five million meshes, 28 million primitives, and more than one-billion-point instances, which can also represent scene metadata such as volumes that we use for lighting processing,” Activision’s Chief Technology Officer Natalya Tatarchuk said in an official statement. “Its complexity is also a testament to the richness and detail that the team at Raven Software built, with help from Beenox, High Moon Studios, and the broader Call of Duty development teams.”
You can learn more about the data set and also download it for yourself right here.

Call of Duty: Warzone Verdansk Map is Coming Back Next Year
The Call of Duty: Warzone Verdansk map will be making it’s way back to the game, but there is a catch, according to an Activision employee (via GameRant).
According to Activision’s Alex Summers, Call of Duty: Warzone will be bringing back Verdansk at some point in 2023, but only on “certain platforms, which could be good news or bad news depending on where your primarily play Call of Duty.
Due to the unpopularity of the Caldera map, it is possible that Verdansk could make a return in the main Call of Duty: Warzone game, and the revival of the map could be a great way to get players back to the game and add a spark to the Call of Duty: Warzone community at the same time.
There is another idea that with the Call of Duty: Warzone sequel in development, and believed to be set to release alongside the 2022 Call of Duty game later this year, that they could take the game back to it’s roots of battle royale gameplay, and thus feature a whole new take on Verdansk, but this is just purely speculation at this time.
