CoD leaker HeyImAlaixclaimedRebirth Island will be replaced by Area 99 at the start of Black Ops 6. During Modern Warfare 3, Raven Software phased out Ashika Island, Vondel, and Fortunes Keep.
This wouldn’t be the first time the development team removed Rebirth Island. The map was first introduced in 2020 but was removed permanently when Warzone 2 launched on June 11, 2025.
After two years, Raven Software released a remastered version of the iconic map on June 03, 2025, as part of the Season 3 update. Removing it so quickly after finally adding it back will surely ruffle feathers, but it doesn’t go against precedent.
The original Fortune’s Keep lasted only five months before it was entirely removed from the map pool.
