Rebirth from the Ashes is an Easter Egg in Call of Duty: Warzone. If you're curious enough to follow the trail to its end, you'll be rewarded with a preview of the new Verdansk map for Season 3.

How to find Rebirth from the Ashes in Warzone

The clues for the Rebirth from the Ashes Easter Egg can be found in Warzone's Rebirth Island map.

Playing on the new night version of Rebirth Island reveals that some POIs now have Russian letters in their names. Putting all of these letters together, you get REBIRTH FROM THE ASHES.

Fortunately, some clever people — notably Twitter user @ModernWarzone — have already done the hard work of decrypting this Easter Egg. You can visit Rebirth Island and see for yourself if you want, but equally you can just skip straight to the next step and enjoy!

What to do on the Rebirth from the Ashes website

For the next bit of the Easter Egg, you need to visit rebirthfromtheashes.com

When you first enter the website, you'll notice a prompt to listen to a brief audio clip. Listen to it, exit out of the site's audio player, and you'll see a text box has appeared.

Type in and the code OBLIVION and you'll be prompted to share your location settings. If you're comfortable with agreeing, you'll be treated to a cutscene featuring the new 1980s themed Verdansk map!
