We finally got our first in-depth look at Warzone’s new map, , at CoD Next ahead of its arrival in Black Ops 6 Season 1, but you might be wondering how big it is compared to the game’s other maps. The latest , one of the most well-known locations in the entire Call of Duty series. It features many POIs, such as Nuketown Shipping and Mannequin Assembly, but players have already .
So, here’s everything we know about the size of Area 99 and how it compares to other Warzone maps. Area 99 map size in Warzone Area 99 will be , as confirmed by the devs during the CoD Next livestream. While we don’t have an exact number, it will be “very similar” to the estimated 152,865 m2 of the OG Resurgence map.
Resurgence is all about dropping players into the action straight away without long stretches between fights, so these maps are always more compact than the main BR battlegrounds. Lead Level Designer, Brittant Beildleman, said that the aim of Area 99 was to bring the “fast and frenetic” gameplay of Nuketown to Warzone, which also explains the smaller size.

Especially Vondel, which is the largest Resurgence map of all time and feels more like a compact Battle Royale arena. It’ll also be nowhere near the scale of maps like Verdansk, Al Mazrah, or Urzikstan, as these are designed to be a completely different experience.
While Resurgence is all about fast-paced action, BR has to leave space for many players in each match and offer room to breathe between fights. It’s worth noting that the devs have never officially released the sizes of every map, so the areas listed above are rough estimations. However, we can use them to get a good idea of how big Area 99 will be.
