Activision has officially announced the upcoming release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, confirming the rumours that have been circulating among gaming enthusiasts. The highly anticipated game is the third instalment in the popular series reboot and is set to hit the shelves on November 10. Modern Warfare III is slated for launch across multiple platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox consoles, and PC.
While specific details about the game are yet to be fully revealed, gamers can expect more information to be disclosed in the coming days, with a more comprehensive reveal scheduled for August 17, as reported by Gamespot.
Sledgehammer Games is reportedly taking the lead in the development of Modern Warfare III, with the support of Activision's extensive network of Call of Duty development studios. A notable feature for players is that operators, guns, and purchases from MW2/Warzone will carry over to the new game, ensuring a seamless continuation of their gaming experience.
The stakes are high for Modern Warfare III, as its predecessor, Modern Warfare II, achieved a remarkable feat by generating $1 billion in revenue within just ten days of its release in 2022, marking the fastest-selling game in the series to date. Fans can anticipate a familiar feel to the gameplay, as all Call of Duty games are now developed on the same engine, regardless of the leading development studio.
Insider Gaming reported that campaign early access for Modern Warfare III is scheduled to commence on November 2, with beta weekends planned for October 6-10 (for PlayStation) and October 12-16 (for all players).
Looking ahead to the future, sources suggest that Activision's Treyarch studio will take the reins for the development of the 2024 Call of Duty title. Concept art that emerged in 2022 has sparked curiosity and speculation about what exciting experiences await gamers in the years to come.
