What is happening with Call of Duty? Although there is not a closed plan Facing this annual saga, the recurring process over the last decade when wrapping up the new installment of the million-dollar saga goes through an official presentation in spring, a first look at the gameplay at the beginning of June and the promise of news until its release (more or less between October and November) with at least two beta periods.
The reality is that it is June 20, the fourth season of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II (and Warzone) content has just been released and we have no announcement related to the next installment from Activision Blizzard or a slight hint regarding it. the plans. Or, at least, nothing that comes officially.
While Activision Blizzard and Microsoft solve their own soap opera -which has recently been accelerated after the intervention of the American FTC in the case- the rumors about it continue the next Call of Duty They follow their natural course, albeit at the wrong time. What’s more, on May 11, reliable media como Insider Gaming guaranteed that -to the surprise of few- it will be Call of Duty Modern Warfare III.
The original Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 was released in March 2012 (more than ten years ago) although in this case, and if the leak is confirmed, we would be facing a direct continuation of last year’s installment along with remastered maps from previous sets Call of Duty.
And despite the fact that Activision Blizzard has not made a move, the first leaks regarding these classic maps by leakers like Code_Perseus (which have been collated from the media specialized in COD Charlie Intel) reaffirm the return of two familiar environments:
- Terminal one of the most beloved maps of Modern Warfare 2 (2009).
- Y Scrapyardwhich appeared much more recently in Modern Warfare (2019)
From here the question arises by itself: what plans does Activision Blizzard have for the presentation and launch of the rumored Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3?
According to Insider Gaming, and if all goes according to plan, The announcement will take place as soon as the month of August 2023 begins., offering the traditional betas two months later and very close to the final release. Being the first of them, as in previous years, an exclusive for PlayStation players.
And, like the previous year, the campaign would be launched days before the launch, which would be scheduled -according to rumors- to next November 10.
Thus, and without any kind of official information in this regard, the leaked dates would look like this:
- First weekend of Beta CoD: MW3: from October 6 to 10, 2023 on PS5 and PS4.
- Second weekend of Beta CoD: MW3: From October 12 to 16, 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One and PC.
- Early access to the campaign CoD: MW3: November 2, 2023
- Game release (including multiplayer) of Code: MW3: November 10, 2023
- New Warzone Map and first season of content: December 5, 2023.
As always happens, and regardless of whether this information comes from reliable media, it is worth remembering that Activision Blizzard has not made a move. His next priority is to launch the new Crash Bandicoot game ahead of the calendar and try to unblock its acquisition by Microsoft.
And we are not going to deny it, if the dates and procedures are met and Microsoft manages to integrate Activision and its sagas into the great Xbox project, the possibility of launching a new Call of Duty directly on Xbox Game Pass would be a devastating blow to the table. And despite this, we return to square one: we all have a new Call of Duty for this year, but for now nothing has been said.
