In 2023, the Call of Duty series is said to be breaking with tradition: For the first time in 17 years, no new part will appear, but a replacement may be available. Instead, a story DLC for Modern Warfare 2 is planned – and a single-player addon for CoD last existed 20 years ago.
Where does the information come from? The info comes from the established CoD insider TheGhostOfHope. According to him, the DLC for the single player campaign should open towards the end of 2023. The addon should go hand in hand with the largest map package
walk, ever seen in Call of Duty history
. However, the insider does not provide any further details at the moment – such as the story, the scope or the price of the alleged expansion.

How credible is the rumor? Of course, this information is not officially confirmed. TheGhostOfHope is considered a reliable source, especially in the CoD scene. With his forecasts, the leaker has been hitting the mark for many months and, among other things, had already correctly predicted the release date of Warzone 2.
Why the rumor makes sense: The fact that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 should not only be expanded in terms of multiplayer in 2023 would definitely fit with previous reports. Because in 2023, fans will most likely not be able to count on a new part of the shooter series. Activision and Infinity Ward could fill this gap with new content for single-player players.
Incidentally, the new rumor complements a forecast by the industry expert quite well Jason Schreier: In August 2022, Schreier spoke of the fact that 2023 with a kind of fee Premium
-Content for Modern Warfare 2 is to be expected.
The next Call of Duty, which is currently being developed by Treyarch, should therefore not appear until winter 2024 and thematically covering the 2003 Iraq War (our colleagues at GamePro reported).
If the rumor were to prove true, a Call of Duty game would be getting story boosts for the first time in almost 20 years. The last time was in 2004 Call of Duty 1: United Offensive the case.
