Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now confirmed to be the 2022 installment of Infinity Ward’s FPS franchise and it will apparently feature a third mode called DMZ. Here we detail everything we know about him before the game launches.
While recent games in the Call of Duty series have tended to make Zombies their third mode (alongside campaign and multiplayer), all reports indicate that 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 will be moving away from it in favor of a DMZ mode.
Details are limited on this mode, but leaks and rumors give us an idea of what we can expect when Infinity Ward’s title releases on October 28th.

MWII will be the sequel to Modern Warfare, released in 2019.
Modern Warfare 2 third mode launch date
While DMZ mode will apparently be part of MWII, reports indicate that it will tie into the game in a way comparable to Warzone and Modern Warfare 2019. As such, it would have its own release date and will not launch. alongside the Infinity Ward title on October 28.
In fact, leaks claim that it will launch a few months after that, somewhere in 2023. However, other information contradicts these claims and makes a late 2022 release more likely.
Either date puts it on a similar timescale to Warzone 2, BR’s long-awaited sequel also slated for release in late 2022 or early next year. DMZ could also launch as a beta, cementing its separate status from that of the annual title.
Free-to-play
Another major leak regarding DMZ is that it would be free-to-play, in the same vein as 2020’s Warzone game. past.
Assuming it follows the same pattern as Warzone (which was also free-to-play), it will be accessible through MWII or as a standalone title, meaning you won’t have to purchase the annual tier. to enter DMZ mode.
No images from the DMZ mode have yet been revealed.

The game is also expected to launch in single-player mode only, with duo, trio, and foursome modes planned for later updates.
Rumor has it that players will be tasked with looting and smashing their way through various small environments before looking to escape. The lobbies will have between 20 and 35 players, making it a middle ground between classic CoD multiplayer and Warzone.
