Prior to the official reveal tomorrow, Activision and developer Sledgehammer have provided some details about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. They are promising the largest Zombies offering in the CoD franchise to date, as well as new Open Combat missions. The exact nature of the Open Combat missions is unclear, but there is speculation that they will take place on Warzone 2.0 maps. Here are some of the teased features of Modern Warfare III by Activision…

• With Carry Forward, players can continue to enjoy player inventory and weapon progression from last year’s Modern Warfare II into this year’s all-new, Modern Warfare III.
• Did someone say Zombies? More information coming soon on the new Modern Warfare Zombies: The largest Zombies offering to date.
• New Open Combat missions in Campaign; new Combat Vests and Perk system for customizing your Multiplayer Operator; new Tac-Stance movement; new After-Market Parts for unparalleled Gunsmith customization and more.
• One access point for your future Call of Duty content. Starting with Modern Warfare II and Warzone, and now with Modern Warfare III and beyond, players can navigate all their content in one place, we call it Call of Duty HQ – making it easier to select which game and modes you wish to play.
• New additions to Ricochet Anti-Cheat as well as new anti-toxicity plans to continue to deliver a fun, fair and welcoming online experience for all players.
• Roadmap of post launch live seasons of additional new content.

Interestingly, the new blog that provided the above information also claims that “our vision to deliver back-to-back Modern Warfare games has been years in the making.” However, there have been rumors suggesting otherwise. Well-placed sources have stated that Modern Warfare III originally started as a major expansion for Modern Warfare II, and Activision only recently revealed their plans for 2023, using the term “premium Call of Duty experiences” to describe what was coming this year (the label “premium” is typically used for traditional paid CoD content). Hopefully, the origins of Modern Warfare III won’t have a negative impact, as it appears the game will offer a substantial amount of content.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is set to launch on November 10. While platforms have not yet been confirmed, it is likely that the game will be available on the same platforms as Modern Warfare II (PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5).
