According to an industry-insider, Warzone 2.0 will not be bringing Fortune’s Keep or Rebirth with it. Yep, no more small maps!
Warzone 2 is getting closer and closer to release. But what do fans want from it? Well, they definitely want perks and loadouts to remain (so thank god Call of Duty reverted the change to remove these features), but they also want small maps these days. Because Warzone and it's playerbase have changed immensely since the BR's launch. Gone are the days of casuals on Verdansk, at this point, the majority of the game's population can actually be found breaking-ankles sliding around Rebirth Island and Fortune's Keep. But sadly, neither of these will make it into Warzone 2.0...
No Fortune's Keep or Rebirth Island In Warzone 2.0
According to a known Call of Duty-insider, both Fortune's Keep and Rebirth Island will not be carried forward into Warzone 2. This leaker has been proven correct on a number of things over the last year, and so we do believe this one. Here's exactly what they had to say:

By implication, maybe only Caldera will remain in Warzone 2.0, as an alternative map for players. While Caldera certainly isn't beloved, we're actually pretty happy that we might at least have two maps to play. Not quite the four that Apex Legends players can enjoy (hence, their game may in fact be better), but it's a lot more than just Al Mazrah again and again and again.
Still, the poor speed demons are going to get serious withdrawals without the small maps to play on. Hopefully Infinity Ward can get a small map pumped out as soon as possible, but we wouldn't bank on it.
