All information about the release of CoD: MW2
When will CoD MW2 appear?
For which platforms is CoD MW2 released? The release for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S has been confirmed.
When is the big reveal coming? There is no official date for this either, but in the trailer sharp eagle eyes have the conspicuously and inconspicuously placed date »8. June 2022« (looks at minute 0:44). This fits exactly with previous leaks that promise a big reveal with gameplay scenes on June 8th.
Is there a beta? This has not yet been officially announced, but in recent years a beta phase has always been playable. Typically, this is open to PlayStation players first. According to dataminers, this should also be the case for MW2, as announced by CharlieIntel, among others:

What do trailers and artwork reveal about CoD MW2?
MW veterans can look forward to the return of some familiar characters. The official artwork confirms: Ghost, Price, Gaz and Soap from Task Force 141 are back on board. The Mexican operator Alejandro Vargas is new.
If you look closely, the teaser images reveal even more: maps of possible locations are worked into the faces! Well-known leaker Tom Henderson lists what real-world locations can be seen on Operator Ghost: the coast from California to Mexico and Chicago, Illinois.

This fits perfectly with the setting that leaks have announced for a long time. Drug cartels are said to play a central role this time – and they are very active on the Mexican coast.
New era for Call of Duty? The official CoD blog announces the start of a whole new era for the shooter series. Of course, these could be classic marketing phrases. But several well-known leakers also believe a new era is about to begin, including ModernWarzone and CharlieIntel. The two channels usually do not save with clear criticism of CoD. They do not comment on this in detail, but refer to the upcoming reveal.
Of course we’ll keep you up to date as soon as something new happens in Call of Duty! After all, there are still a few reveals about Warzone 2, which wants to iron out the mistakes of the predecessor and are obviously going to be very, very different.
