Is it actually that point of the yr once more already? It looks like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 simply launched, however we suppose Activision’s obtained to return to the properly, as we doubt Crash Team Rumble’s going to prime up its financial institution stability alone this yr. So right here we’re, then, a report from reliable rumourmonger Tom Henderson: Sledgehammer Games is making Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Yes, you learn that accurately: Modern Warfare 3.
For the longest time it was rumoured that the profitable franchise could be taking a yr off and would offer “premium DLC” for Modern Warfare 2 in 2023. But Henderson claims, whereas these experiences have been correct at one time limit, plans have since modified. He writes: “This year’s title is a fully-fledged sequel to Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare 3 will feature a campaign, multiplayer, zombies, and a new Warzone 2.0 map during the title’s first season.” What might probably go improper?
Apparently, the aforementioned Warzone 2.0 map will likely be impressed by Las Almas, which was beforehand found as an Easter egg inside Modern Warfare 2’s marketing campaign. Meanwhile, the zombies mode is at the moment named Outbreak 2.0, and might nonetheless probably launch individually as a free-to-play obtain – Activision continues to be weighing up all of its alternatives, apparently. Either manner, the title’s allegedly due out on 10th November, with marketing campaign early entry unlocking every week earlier on 2nd November.
And by the best way, Sony reasonably awkwardly nonetheless has advertising rights to the collection, so it’ll have dibs on the sport’s first beta weekend in October, regardless of whether or not Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition is accomplished by then. (But that’s trying unlikely at this level, with any appeals to the CMA prone to drag proceedings into 2024 and past.)
